Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance 1379 Hammond Street Council Ordinance 06-260 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 10, 2006, held a public hearing on the above zone change request Attorney Andrew Hamilton representative of the applicant indicated they were seeking to change the zoning to Government and Institutional Service District to accommodate the expansion of the Pine Grove Cemetery in coordination with the City such that Pine Grave Crematorium could construct a non profit community crematorium at this location. Mr. Norman Martell indicated he had several questions about the potential impact of the new facility on the residents of his 30 -unit mobile home park Mr. Martell was concerned about property value impacts, access and utility Issues land use policy Issues, and operational oversight There were no other proponents or opponents. The Planning Officer noted while there were several issues regarding State regulations and the Citys Land Development Cade related to this use, the basic land use policy question seemed fairly straight forward. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan update recognizes cemeteries as an Institutional land use. Any expansion of an existing cemetery would warrant expansion of the related Government and Institutional District Given the clear intent on the part of the applicant In its agreement with the City, and its intent to establish Itself as a nonprofit operation this is a reasonable expansion of the district. Secondly, the area being changed is a heavy industrial district which could have far greater Impacts than what could occur in the proposed 1.7 acre change. After careful consideration of the existing uses in the area, and the proposed land use in the Comprehensive Plan, the Board voted unanimously to recommend the proposed zoning change.
