Title

Willow Lawn Memorial Park Conditional Use Permit Amendment

 

Staff Summary

                     Willow Lawn Memorial Park is an existing cemetery located at 24100 US Highway 45 in unincorporated Vernon Township.

                     In 2001, the property owner was granted an Administrative Conditional Use Permit to operate a cemetery on this property.

                     Richard Kile, on behalf of StoneMar (the current property owners), has requested an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a memorial garden increasing the impervious surface by 0.06 acre.

                     Article 3.6.10 of the Lake County Unified Development Ordinance states that, “The Planning, Building, and Zoning Committee shall be authorized to allow establishment of accessory uses and structures.”

                     Staff recommends approval of this request given that the proposal is accessory to the cemetery and modest in scale.
