The BAPS &#8212; Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanastha &#8212; Hindu community of Chino Hills wants to begin construction on the temple, at the complex on Fairfield Ranch Road near the 71 Freeway, which is nearing completion.<\/p>\n<p>The obstacle that has remained for the past few years has been the city construction height limit of 42 feet for the high-density residential zone where the temple would be located. Plans call for spires at a height of 78 feet, and the community has asked the city to change the height restriction on the zone.<\/p>\n<p>Developers last week submitted an application for building the centerpiece of the complex, a 10,000-square-foot temple, or mandir &#8211; the term for a Hindu place of worship and prayer.<\/p>\n<p>A hearing is expected within three to six months, said Kal Mistry, spokesman and volunteer for the BAPS community of Chino Hills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: www.contracostatimes.com CHINO HILLS, CALIFORNIA, February 5, 2010: A Hindu community here is closer to completing its religious center, but,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
