Ordinance No. 1997-05 <br /> <br /> TEXT AMENDMENT to the <br />CABARRUS COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE Petition 97-01(T) <br /> <br /> Purpose of Amendment: To accommodate funeral homes as an allowable land use in <br />· Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />Background: Currently, funeral homes are not allowed in any zoning district in Cabarrus <br />County. They need to be allowed in at least one zoning district and the nature of the <br />funeral home business fits most closely with the general purposes and intents of Limited <br />and General Commercial zoning districts. With the exception of parking requirements, <br />the development standards for these commercial districts seem to be compatible with <br />funeral homes' needs and impacts. The unique parking requirements, which are not <br />directly related to building area, are based on chapel size and the need for an off-street <br />parking area for the formation of a funeral procession. These requirements are detailed in <br />this amendment. <br /> <br />Proposed Changes to the Cabarrus Coun _ty Zoning Ordinance: <br /> <br /> I. Revise Chapter 3, Section 3-7, COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS, (1) Office/limited <br />cm~-nercial, USES IN THE OFFICE/LIMITED COMMERCIAL ZONE to add the <br />following under Permitted uses: <br /> <br />Funeral home <br /> <br /> II. Revise Chapter 3, Section 3-7, COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS, (2) General <br />Commercial, USES IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE to add the following <br />under Permitted uses: <br /> <br />Funeral home <br /> <br /> III.
