5 MUNCPALTY OF ANCHORAGE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM No. Jd Meeting Date: APTT.. 1,.?nn From: Subject: Mayor Wuerth AO 2001; "cemetery". Amending AMC by adding a definition for AMC 21 Land Use Planning does not define the use of cemetery. On October 9, 2000, the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Anchorage Municipal Code and or the Anchorage Municipal Code of Regulations be changed to prohibit the burial of human remains in any location other than an authorized cemetery. AMC 21 was reviewed by staff and it is felt the current code provisions adequately state where a cemetery may be located but we felt it was necessary to add a definition of a cemetery.
