Maybe what Planning Dept needs is for there to be different commercial zoning designations that are less encompassing than currently exists. These then can be applied for without a fear of crematoriums, as a comparison.
The one silliness I do see is that as the example of a crematorium is brought up, there is often a HUGE difference between what can be done, and what will be done. Many times the other hurdles would preclude business like a crematorium opening in that area - SOH DOH being I see the largest hurdle in the case of a crematorium. Some of the other businesses IMHO on this list are just not viable profit makers in that specific location.
We would be better served to rally around figuring out what is going in across from the Post Office than one small piece of property that will probably be retail.
