Committee approves conditional use for second mausoleum building at cemetery
Summary
The Development Committee approved a zoning hearing officer's recommendation allowing a cemetery in a single-family zoning district to add a second mausoleum building as a conditional use.
The DuPage County Development Committee on June 17 approved a zoning hearing officer's recommendation to allow a cemetery in a single-family zoning district to construct a second mausoleum building as a conditional use.
Staff explained that cemeteries are a conditional use in single-family zoning districts and the petition requested approval to add a second mausoleum building on the property. A committee member said the request was somewhat unusual but that a mausoleum is a building like any other and therefore falls under conditional-use procedures.
The committee moved and seconded approval; the motion carried with no recorded opposition. The committee did not attach additional conditions or direct further study.
Nut Graf: The committee's action permits expansion of an existing cemetery facility by adding a second mausoleum building, following the county's conditional-use process for nonresidential buildings in single-family zones.
The approval allows the cemetery to proceed subject to standard permitting, building-code, and inspection requirements administered by county regulatory services.
