Franciscan Renewal Center solar arrays

Lives directly north of the project at 6607 N Smoke Tree Lane with his mother; says the arrays will block their Camelback Mountain view, hurt resale value, and that existing parking-lot lights already shine into their yard despite repeated requests.

Argues the church should place the arrays along Lincoln Drive on its own southern property so it keeps the benefit of solar without imposing view hardship on neighbors.

Bought her home in 1996 for the view; says she was later surprised by zoning changes and the community center, planted trees to screen it, and says the new arrays will obstruct what view remains.

Says solar carports look like commercial structures, questions whether shaded parking or the electric bill is the real goal, and notes the parking lot is full in winter when shade isn't needed.

The center's operations director said two residents came to the neighborhood meeting — one worried about losing Camelback Mountain views and calling the structures a possible eyesore, the other supportive after installing solar herself. He used a lift to photograph sightlines at 16 feet.
