26-006 — Private family cemetery in Coweta County, GA
This case involves a request for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a private family cemetery on a 107.78-acre RC-zoned property off Copeland Road, with the actual burial area limited to 0.230 acres (approximately 10,000 square feet). All relevant county departments (Public Works, Fire, Water, Environmental Health, Community Development) have indicated no objection, and the proposal is expected to have minimal impact on public facilities, utilities, or nearby properties. A developer considering property in this area should note that cemeteries are permitted uses in Rural Conservation zoning but require CUP approval and compliance with specific conditions including boundary recording and public safety protocols during interments.
