Committee reclassifies Graceland Memorial Park and adjusts Mount Auburn cemetery mapping
Summary
The committee moved Graceland Memorial Park from agricultural protection to high-density core and adjusted Mount Auburn cemetery to a neighborhood-transition future land-use designation; an overlay for parks and cemeteries will be added later to mark non-developable public spaces.
Staff presented a packet recommendation to realign cemetery and park parcels with the broader future land-use map. For Graceland Memorial Park the committee passed a motion to change the parcel from the Agricultural and Natural Resource Protection (AGRP) category to High Density Core so the parcel aligns visually with downtown/high-core mapping; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
For a separate parcel at Mount Auburn, staff proposed changing the lot from AGRP to neighborhood transition so it matches adjacent areas and future transition corridors. Committee members agreed that an overlay for parks, cemeteries and open space will be added to the comprehensive plan to indicate those areas are not intended for development.
