Currently the Church has approximately 200 pledged members, with weekly attendance <br />averaging approximately 138 persons for Sunday services (see table below). <br />The new construction will comprise a church and a Multi-purpose Building (MPB). The Project is <br />intended to be completed in phases. The first phase (Phase 1) will be to prepare the site for subsequent <br />construction (utilities, grading, pads, landscaping, hardscaping). The second phase (Phase 2) will be the <br />construction of a traditional Byzantine architecture church. The third phase is to construct the MPB, <br />which may be further split into sub -phases depending on timing of securing both internal and external <br />funding. <br />Strategic Plan — Master Plan Phasing Program <br />Phases 1&2 — 24-60 months: <br />Comprises the site preparation, utilities, and infrastructure construction consistent with Conditions of <br />Approval. This phase will also include landscaping and hardscaping, also consistent with the Conditions <br />of Approval. <br />The construction of a Byzantine Church for seating up to 350 persons. Exact timing dependent upon <br />capital campaign and construction schedules. <br />At completion stage, the current Castro Valley location will likely be sold and RGOC would move to the <br />new facility in Pleasanton. <br />Phase 3 — 5 to 15 years to completion. <br />Construction of the MPB, which may be done in sub -phases. Building is to include administrative <br />offices, conference rooms, storage facilities and study rooms for religious instructions. The study rooms <br />are not intended for operating a school; rather, these rooms are to be used for religious instruction <br />(catechism) for the youth of our parish during Sunday liturgy primarily. The rooms will also likely be <br />used for various youth events and get-togethers (fellowship; arts/crafts; extension of catechism classes). <br />The capacity of the rooms is shown in the architectural drawings. The office space in the MPB is for the <br />presiding priest, a potential second priest, a deacon, a youth director, a communications coordinator, a <br />finance/accounting resource, and an administrative assistant. These individuals are the full-time staff and <br />volunteers that are likely to use the MPB offices Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. The <br />smaller halls in the facility, other than the hall that will be used as a temporary worship center, will be <br />used for periodic meetings and folk -dance practices. There will be music playing in these situations, but <br />all noise will be within the parameters of City ordinances. The building will also include a full gym, a <br />
