07-6252 — Sports and Recreational Lighting fixture mounting at 75 feet height in Garner, NC
The Town of Garner is replacing outdated lighting fixtures at South Garner Park with modern LED athletic field lighting that requires 75-foot mounting heights, exceeding the current 35-foot limit in UDO Section 10.2.10. This variance request affects a public recreation facility in a residential area and demonstrates whether modern sports lighting standards can accommodate existing zoning height restrictions in similar developments.
