VAR-26-005 — Sports and Recreational Lighting in Garner, NC
This variance allows the town to increase sports lighting fixture mounting height from 35 feet to 75 feet at Garner Rec Park to accommodate modern LED lighting systems that meet safety and industry standards. The request affects a town-owned recreational facility and does not involve private development, but developers should note how the Board evaluates hardship variances for infrastructure improvements. The approval demonstrates the Board's willingness to grant height variances when strict ordinance compliance prevents necessary functional upgrades.
