Public hearing closed on zoning changes for funeral homes and crematoria (Bill 16-21)
The council opened a public hearing on Bill 16-21, which would amend Chapter 190 (zoning, subdivision and land development) to address funeral homes and crematoria. Applicant representative Ryan Showalter summarized the history of the text amendment and said the planning commission issued a unanimous favorable recommendation after minor refinements.

No members of the public addressed the council on the item during the Nov. 25 hearing. The council closed the public hearing but left the record open for written comments until noon on Dec. 5; the bill is eligible for a council vote on Dec. 9.

Staff asked that any written comments be submitted by the posted deadline; no amendments or actions were taken on Nov. 25.
