On November 17, 2016, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. UP2016-039 that included a parking management plan and an off-site parking agreement for the church. The off-site parking was referenced with an address of 1701 Placentia Avenue in the City of Costa Mesa which is the Cla-Val Industrial building owned by Cla-Val Company. However, the large parking lot used by the industrial building is located on an abutting property with a separate address (1718 Monrovia Avenue).
