Mountain View Cemetery is proposing to expand into currently undeveloped portions of the cemetery property for the addition of future burial sites. The proposed project includes three separate but interconnected plots on the Mountain View Cemetery property that are entirely within the City of Oakland. [Development areas border Piedmont.] Developing the three parcels would include extensive grading and tree removal, extension of existing roadways through the three plots and improvements such as landscape walls and stairs, an amphitheater for gatherings, crypts and columbarium niches, and planting of new trees.

All comments on this proposed project must be sent to The City of Oakland. The proposed project is entirely within the City of Oakland, and Oakland is the lead agency on this project. The information below is provided as a convenience and courtesy to Piedmont residents with an interest in this project.
