A neighborhood group opposed to building a Latter-day Saint temple in a Cody, Wyoming, neighborhood has gone to court in an attempt to stop construction.
This artist's rendering shows the temple that's planned for Cody, Wyo.A grassroots group opposed to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building a temple in a Cody, Wyo., neighborhood has gone to court in an attempt to stop construction.
The group is asking the court to review a conditional use permit for the nearly 10,000-square-foot temple on a 4.69-acre site issued by the city’s planning and zoning board. The group also plans to file another appeal to the city over the decision to approve the temple site plan. A major point of contention the plan for a steeple that would soar more than 100 feet high in a neighborhood that is zoned residential and where structures are not to exceed a height of 30 feet. The building itself would be 25 to 26 feet tall, but the addition of a 77-foot steeple would take that to more than 100 feet.
At one point, the church proposed lowering the height of the steeple to 85 feet, and it’s unclear whether that is now the plan. The church did not immediately reply to a request for comment Friday on the neighborhood group’s legal action.
