Document Description
Approval of Project entitlements would allow for redevelopment of the site to demolish existing site improvements, including a parking lot, and construct a 3,339-gravesite cemetery, 51-stall parking lot, 800 square foot (sf) storage shed, and reconstruct the 5,262-sf building that previously existed onsite. In September, October, and November 2021, a series of fires destroyed the previously existing building. The Applicant would reconstruct the building consistent with the architectural plans that the City’s Design Review Committee considered in Fall 2021, prior to the fires. The architectural plans included demolition of 124 square feet of the previously existing building and minor remodeling and modifications, resulting in a building area of 5,138 sf.
