73-8251 — Sports and Recreational Lighting in Garner, NC

The Town of Garner is seeking a variance to increase the allowable sports and recreational lighting fixture mounting height from 35 feet to 75 feet at Garner Recreation Park to replace outdated 40-year-old metal halide lighting with modern LED technology. The variance is needed because the flat topography of the existing park properties limits the ability to achieve the required lighting height through natural slope, and the taller poles are necessary to reduce light spill and glare on adjacent properties while maintaining competitive athletic field conditions.
