Reno Temple Update
By Donald E. Asp

This evening (6/22/99) the Reno City Council heard the appeal filed against the Planning Commission recommendation for approval of the requested special use permit for the proposed Reno Temple.

Tonight's Reno City Council agenda item read:

B. Staff Report: Case No. 366-99 (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) - Request for approval of special use permits to: (a) construct

a ±10,500 square foot temple facility; and (b) allow fills of 10 feet or

more located along the east side of Beaumont Parkway ±2,000 feet northwest of its intersection with Avenida de Landa in an MF-14 (Multi-Family) zone. [Ward 5]

The Planning Commission recommends approval of the requested special use permit, subject to conditions by a vote of six in favor; none opposed; one absent.

This evening the Reno City Council upheld the Planning Commissions approval. If all proceeds as planned we can expect to see a groundbreaking in the month of July. Prayers of the faithful will continue to move us closer to the opening of a Temple here in Northern Nevada.

Now is the time to prepare ourselves to attend groundbreakings, dedications, and invite our friends and investigators to attend. This is a rare opportunity that must not be missed.
