less than five contiguous acres of real property in total area,
inclusive of any structures, facilities, or buildings situated thereon
and used for the business purposes of the pet cemetery. The secretary of

including the number of above-ground entombments, the number of remains
buried and the nature of the surrounding community. Nothing contained in

local law which provides for an area requirement greater than as set
forth herein.
