This Year Reno Temple Lights No Problem
RENO, NEVADA -- Unlike last year, no one showed up to oppose a special use
permit covering the lighting of the Reno Nevada Temple. The Reno City
Council met Tuesday to discuss the LDS Church's application for a special
use permit to light the outside of the building, leading the council to
unanimously approve the lighting plan.
Since the Temple was completed last year, the Church has sought to light the
building's outside at night, as the Church does with most of its Temples.
Last year, as the building was being constructed, neighbors opposed the
lighting plan, claiming that the lights were excessive. The council then
granted the Church a special use permit last year, but required the Church's
representatives to meet with a neighborhood advisory committee to discuss
their concerns.
