Church to get its crosses, but they’ll be a lot shorter

Three crosses proposed for a church would have stretched heavenward too much for some residents’ liking.

Clark County commissioners today sided with neighbors who opposed a pastor’s attempt to place three crosses — 90 feet, 80 feet and 70 feet tall — at the South Hills Church Community, which is scheduled to open by October in the southeast valley.

The commission approved shorter versions of 50 feet, 40 feet and 35 feet for the crosses that would stand near the Las Vegas Beltway and St. Rose Parkway.
