I once worked on a project where a new park was supposed to be built, but the zoning code labeled it as a ‘pet cemetery.’ It took weeks of back and forth to clarify that no, we weren’t planning to develop a dog rest area — just a green space for the community. Sometimes I think the regulations are more of a comedy show than serious planning?
Zoning can turn real projects into comedies, right; i’ve had to argue that a park isn’t a graveyard too — just take the time to clarify everything upfront. It saves a ton of headaches later.
It’s so frustrating how a simple green space can get termed a ‘pet cemetery’ — ! I once had a plan for a splash park held up just because of some vague language in the zoning code. Do they think the kids were trying to summon spirits while splashing around?
I’ve seen zoning mix-ups like that too. Ever think about applying for a ‘cemetery’ permit just to make a point?
