Sec. B6-2. Permit required; grounds for denial; existing cemeteries.

No person shall establish or maintain any cemetery or extend the boundaries of any existing cemetery at any place within the unincorporated territory of the County without a permit first having been applied for as hereinafter provided and obtained from the Board of Supervisors; provided, however, that such permit shall not be granted unless it shall affirmatively appear on the hearing and be found as a fact by the Board of Supervisors that the establishment or maintenance of such cemetery in the location proposed would jeopardize or adversely affect the health, safety, comfort or welfare of the public. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the maintenance, development and operation within their present boundaries of cemeteries which were established on March 16, 1955.

(Code 1954, § 5.1.9-3; Ord. No. NS-508, § 1, 2-14-55)
