Council discussing zoning amendment
March 2, 2021 | 11:08 am
The Gaithersburg City Council on Monday formally introduced a zoning text amendment laying out specific areas of the city where crematoria may be built.
The discussion came four months after the council rejected an application from DeVol Funeral Home to convert a single-family home into a crematorium. The city expressed environmental and economic concerns.
Under the proposed amendment, crematoria:
Would be prohibited within 500 feet of a property containing a residential use
Would be allowed as part of a funeral home as a conditional use in the commercial office park (C-P), general commercial (C-2), central business district (CBD), corridor development (CD), light industrial (I-1), industrial office park (I-3) and mixed-use development (MXD) zones.
