A month or so back, the Church released an updated render for the Yorba Linda Temple. The change was necessitated by a request from the city to lower the height of the steeple. This the Church complied with, and the design for the temple went from a post-modern design with Art-deco and Spanish influences to a modern design with Spanish influences with just a few simple changes.

I’m not entirely sold on the new design, I am not certain the massing of the spire is appropriate for the overall building, but I am sure the architect did what he could with the restrictions they were working under. And there is the distinct possibility that I am entirely missing aspects of the design that make it work better.
