The Commission backed changes to Lombard’s zoning code for cemeteries, focusing on how close different cemetery features can be placed to property lines. Under the revised recommendation, buildings and above-ground memorial structures would follow one set of setbacks, while at-grade memorials and unmarked burial plots would follow another. The Commission also added new definitions for clarity and voted 5-0 to send the amendment to the Village Board for approval.
