ORDINANCES — ADOPTION
TEXT AMENDMENT FOR SECTION 126-106 CREMATORIUM - FAILED
Commissioner Watkins offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Smith, that the Board
of Commissioners adopt an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
CHAPTER 126, ZONING, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
PADUCAH KENTUCKY." This ordinance is summarized as follows: That Section 126-
106, "Convenience and Service Zone, B-1," of Chapter 126, Zoning of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of Paducah, Kentucky, is hereby amended to add a crematory as
an accessory use to a funeral home.
Attorney Duncan Pitchford representing Lindsey Funeral Home and Jason Logsden, co-
owner of Lindsey Funeral Home made a presentation to the Commission regarding
Lindsey's request to install a crematorium in their funeral home located at 226 North 4'
Street in Paducah. The information they provided shows a major increase in cremations
over the next 15 years due to cremation becoming more acceptable, lack of land for
burials, and increase in population. The information also illustrated that the cremation
process causes minimal impact on surrounding properties. Commissioner Coleman's
concern is that Lindsey Funeral Home is so close to Paducah's downtown area.
Commissioner Smith's concern is the odor. Commissioner Watkins is concerned about
the testing results being performed by a company hired by the manufacturer of
crematoriums. Commissioner Kaler has not received any negative comments from
neighbors in her Lower Town neighborhood and believes the crematorium would not
cause any ill effects to the city. Mayor Paxton believes most people would not even
know it existed if installed in Lindsey Funeral Home.
Failed on call of the roll, nays, Commissioners Coleman, Smith, and Watkins (3). Yeas,
Commissioner Kaler and Mayor Paxton (2).
