Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a 78.17-acre expansion, identified as Phase 3, to an existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for land alteration activities. The proposed expansion consists of three excavation cells with a maximum depth of 40 feet: Cell 1 (19.11 acres), Cell 2 (19.60 acres), and Cell 3 (39.46 acres). The operation is proposed for the extraction and sale of general fill and road base materials. Approval of this request would consolidate Phases 1 through 3 into a single unified land alteration CUP.
Phase 1 was approved under zoning action 19PZ00061 for a 216.89-acre alteration/pit. Phase 2 expansion was approved under zoning action 22Z00040 and added 177.5 acres of additional alteration/pit area. The site area under review totals 723.09 acres. Combination of all three phases addresses the conditions of Section 62-1936 for access, material stockpiles, and buffers using all property concurrently.
Section 62-4391 defines "land alteration" as the process of excavating, filling and reclaiming lands. Section 62-1936 allows an application for a CUP for Land Alteration with a minimum size for land alteration at five acres. The applicant included engineered sketch plans in their CUP application showing the proposed overall site and the offsite haul route. The sketch plan shall be binding on the use of the property if the conditional use is approved.
