Las Vegas LDS Temple Confronts Restrictions on Lighting

The Las Vegas City Council recently passed a “dark sky” ordinance aimed at regulating nighttime light emissions, particularly affecting the construction of a new Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple in the northwest valley near Lone Mountain. Although the ordinance does not explicitly reference the temple, it applies to the rural Lone Mountain neighborhood and La Madre Foothills, where residents prioritize darker skies and reduced lighting. The church had initially planned to keep the temple illuminated around the clock but will now adhere to the new restrictions, which include turning off lights on structures over 35 feet tall between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. The ordinance also limits lighting temperatures and requires fixtures to have specific shielding. Despite opposition from nearby residents concerned about the church’s impact on the area’s rural character, the City Council approved the 70,000-square-foot project, which includes additional facilities and landscaping.
