Route 54, a freeway, to accommodate the additional 23 average daily trips (ADT), and
since no building expansion is proposed.

since the use is contained wholly within an existing building and the use is consistent with
an industrial use, which is conditionally -permitted in the Light Manufacturing zone.

it will provide a service in need in the area among members of the community who are
looking for cremation services.
