17.54.010 What this chapter does.
This chapter contains land use provisions that regulate mining and asphalt or concrete production on properties appropriately zoned. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.54.020 Purpose and objective.
The purpose of the extractive industries overlay zone is to provide locational control over extractive uses, to promote the reclamation of these sites, and to provide proper buffering and protection for neighboring development and uses. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.54.030 Uses.
In addition to the uses allowed in the base zone, the following uses are permitted as long as the applicable development standards have been met:
A. Earth products extraction;
B. Asphalt and concrete production. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.54.040 Area requirements.
The minimum lot area for this overlay zone is 10 acres. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.54.050 Buffer and screening requirements.
No new extraction or mining activities are permitted within 1,000 feet of property containing existing residential development. Rock crushers, shredders, batch plants, and other equipment that produces substantial noise are only permitted more than one-quarter mile or 1,320 feet from property containing residential development. Berms and/or landscaping may be required to buffer the equipment from neighboring properties and/or public roads. Lights must be directed in a way that will limit light pollution onto adjoining properties. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
17.54.060 Permit application and reclamation plan.
An application for mining/extraction and a reclamation plan must be submitted for approval by the city engineer and planning director prior to any excavation or production work on the site, indicating how the site will be reclaimed upon completion of mining or production activities to allow for the productive and compatible reuse of the site. The reclamation plan shall include the following items of information:
A. Phasing Plan. A plan showing the phasing of the excavation.
B. Grading Plan. A grading plan showing the final topography of the site upon completion of reclamation.
C. Supplemental runoff management plan/storm water pollution prevention plan.
D. Revegetation Plan. A revegetation plan, if applicable, indicating what planting will occur to reestablish vegetation on the site.
E. Drainage Plan. A drainage plan indicating the hydrological characteristics of the site after reclamation, including the creation/modification of floodplains or natural drainage channels.
F. Traffic Study. A traffic study detailing the impact of the traffic generated by the operation on city streets.
G. Financial Analysis. A financial analysis detailing all the costs of the reclamation plan.
H. Financial Security. Financial security, in a form and amount reasonably acceptable to the city, as determined by the city engineer, to assure the implementation of the reclamation plan. The security shall be released upon completion of reclamation or rehabilitation of the site. The security shall be forfeited to the city in the event of noncompliance.
I. Reclamation shall take place on or before one year after the date of cessation of operations or one year after the last date that any earth product materials are extracted from the site.
If the Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining requires a reclamation plan and financial security or bond for the project/operation, this plan and evidence of a bond may be submitted to the city in lieu of the requirements listed above. [Ord. O-08-2012 § 2 (Exh. A)].
