§ 26-72-005. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Purpose: to conserve and protect land that is necessary for future mineral resource production. The MR district is intended to be applied only where consistent with the aggregate resources management plan and combined with base zoning within the general plan's land intensive agriculture, land extensive agriculture, diverse agriculture and resources and rural development land use categories. This zone allows mining with the issuance of a surface mining use permit and the approval of a reclamation plan, but restricts residential and other incompatible uses. Its uses supersede those allowed in the applicable base district.
