Board approves family cemetery on Crosby property in District 4; rights declared transferable
Summary
The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board approved a conditional use permit for a family cemetery proposed by Nicholas and Sabrina Crosby on a more-than-39-acre parcel on Bridal D Lane and attached a condition that the rights shall run with the land and be transferable.
The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 approved CU2025-006, granting a conditional use permit for a family cemetery on a wooded portion of a more-than-39-acre parcel owned by Nicholas and Sabrina Crosby in Commission District 4.
Planning staff described the proposed cemetery as located in the central-west portion of the parcel, about 720 feet from the nearest residence, and noted it would be used by the applicant’s family. Stephanie Kaiser of the Planning Department said the family cemetery is “considered a use of low intensity” and that no dwelling units will be generated by the conditional use.
Staff concluded the request complies with Land Development Code conditional-use criteria for open rural zoning and recommended approval. The board approved the permit with one condition: the rights associated with the cemetery shall run with the land and be transferable.
There were no public comment cards and the applicant waived a formal presentation. Board members asked whether transferability implied the cemetery would remain for ‘‘the family’’ after a sale; staff replied the transferability is implied by the condition and that the staff prepares deed restrictions and related documents. The board voted 6-0 to approve CU2025-006.
The approval records indicate the action was taken under LDC Article 22, Sec. 22.03(k)(s) and the general conditional-use criteria in Sec. 5.04 A–K.
