Because of the effects of the large land area devoted to this use on the continuity of local streets, and because this use does not require water and sewer service, the Commission shall permit the establishment of this use in an R Residential District only when the following conditions are met:
(a) Any crematorium, mausoleum, columbarium, or other building shall be designed and located in accordance with a cemetery master plan, which shall be subject to site plan approval by the Commission.
(b) No building or structures containing bodies or remains, other than subterranean graves, shall be located closer than two hundred (200) feet to the boundary line of any residential or commercial district.
(c) Entrances to cemeteries shall be off of a major or collector street as defined in Chapter 1133, and shall be designed to minimize traffic congestion.
(d) All sides of the cemetery shall be screened from any residential view by providing a continuous and completely obscuring wall or fence, four feet six inches (4'6") in height, measured from the surface of the ground. The Commission may permit a "chain link" type fence adequately screened with deciduous and evergreen material.
(e) Approval by the Commission shall be given contingent on submission of a satisfactory drainage plan.
