Mormon Temple's Night Lights Sparking Complaints in Reno

The Reno Planning Commission held a forum recently regarding construction of the Reno Temple. The temple is the second LDS temple in Nevada. Supporters outnumbered opponents 2 to 1, with the major complaint being the lighting at night. Many area residents believe the nighttime lighting will ruin their evenings; supporters believe the lit temple and spire would enhance the Reno skyline.

The Planning Commission agreed to approve construction of the temple without any limits on lighting, but will review complaints after the spire has been illuminated for six months.
