Forest Lawn-Cathedral City Cemetery and a former self-storage facility/Planned Community Commercial (PCC)/General Commercial (CG)
Document Description
Proposed Forest Lawn – Cathedral City Specific Plan (PLAN-SP-25-0001) to provide a long-term plan for the entire 10-acre Cathedral City property (existing cemetery parcels and the redevelopment of the former self-storage facility with cemetery uses). The proposed Specific Plan would allow for the construction of up to 12,000 sf of occupiable floor area for new structures, up to 275,000 sf of new non-occupied floor area (for such uses as wall crypts, columbaria, and burial and cremation garden structures), and 70,000 interment spaces. The proposed Specific Plan would allow for a total of approximately 30,000 sf of occupied floor area, approximately 315,000 sf of non-occupied floor area, and approximately 84,000 interment spaces within the entire proposed Specific Plan area. The proposed General Plan Amendment (PLAN-GPA-25-0001) would change the land use designation for the Specific Plan area from General Commercial (CG) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) and the proposed Change of Zone (PLAN-PLCZ-25-0001) would change the zoning designation from Planned Community Commercial (PCC) to Neighborhood Business Park (NBP).
