Oakwood Cemetery Rezoning Proposal

The 50.1+/- acres of real estate which are the subject of the proposal have been owned by Oakwood Cemetery since 1904.  The land has always been vacant and is not needed for burials.  The most recent land use burial plan shows that the current Cemetery has sufficient space for burials for the next hundred plus years.  This property has been for sale (both formally or informally) for nearly thirty (30) years.

This parcel is the only land in the general vicinity zoned conservation.  Immediately to the south of this land are additional burial lands of Oakwood Cemetery.  Immediately to the northeast is vacant land which was formerly the City of Troy land fill.  Immediately to the north are the Highpointe residential community, an additional residential development, and commercial and residential developments are at the corner of Oakwood Avenue and Northern Drive.  Immediately to the west, along Gurley Avenue are additional residential developments in the hamlet of Lansingburgh proper.  The subject parcel, zoned for conservation, is near to and abuts various development zoned areas.
