ZTA 25-09 Would Allow Water Cremation Facilities in County
Fani-GonzálezJun 17, 2025
Councilmember Fani-González introduced ZTA 25-09 on June 17, 2025, to amend the county's zoning ordinance to permit alkaline hydrolysis — also called aquamation or water cremation — as a funeral option, aligning local zoning with a 2024 state law. The process uses water, alkaline chemicals, and heat to decompose remains, producing no direct emissions. A public hearing is set for July 22, 2025.
