TITLE
Recommendation to request Planning Commission to undertake a study relating to a potential zone change in PD-25 (Atlantic Avenue Planned Development District) in order to facilitate the establishment of crematoriums as a permitted, conditional, or accessory use in that Zone.
 
DISCUSSION
The Atlantic Avenue Planned Development District ( PD-25) is located adjacent to Atlantic Avenue from Pacific Coast Highway on the South to Willow Street on the North. Mortuaries and accessory uses, such as crematoriums, are prohibited within the boundaries of PD-25, although one mortuary currently does exist with PD-25 as a "legal non-conforming use".
 
It is requested that the Planning Commission undertake a study to determine whether it would be appropriate to amend the current Zoning Regulations in order to permit or conditionally permit crematoriums as accessory uses within the PD-25 Zoning District.
 
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
DEE ANDREWS
COUNCILMEMBER, SIXTH DISTRICT
