Hopefully the process will go peacefully and all the residents will come to love the beauty of the temple site. Betting that the open house will be well attended and the schedule will extend to twice as long than average.

It looks like https://news3lv.com/resources/pdf/7d2ef9ef-b3a8-4f3a-ba6f-da630be20df5-A24899510JPetitionforJudicialReviewPTJRCIV.pdf is the lawsuit that was filed.

The council minutes about the 77 foot cross can be found at https://vegaspublic.cmgcc.cloud/CMWebDrawer/RecordHtml/850930.  It is agenda item no 34.  Interestingly, the minutes do say that the 77 foot cross does comply with the code, but the council felt it was a little excessive.

I haven't yet found any minutes on the 85 foot tower but I found an article describing it - https://lasvegassun.com/news/2008/dec/10/decision-new-international-church-facility-delayed/.  The tower isn't a steeple.  It is a tower that you can climb up into and have a prayer setting.  It has windows and is 15% of the total building size.  So it is very different from a steeple.
