A Hare Krishna society has won permission to begin clearing a 23-acre parcel for construction of an elaborate temple and cultural center in northern Escondido.
The City Council this week agreed to issue a permit that will enable the religious group to remove two acres of protected coastal sage scrub.
Construction plans call for a 32,000-square-foot cultural center and a 7,200-square-foot dormitory for monks and four single-family homes. Two Hindu-style temples are proposed.
