Schedule 18.52.02-A establishes land use regulations that are in addition to the regulations of the base district with which the "MR" overlay district is combined. The "P" designates permitted uses. The "S" designates use classifications that are permitted after review and approval of a site development permit by the board of administrative review. The "U" designates use classifications that are permitted after review and approval of a conditional use permit for development in the "MR" overlay district by the planning commission. Development proposals not approved are limited to the residential densities and uses allowed by the underlying zoning district.

Use classifications are defined in Chapter 18.60, Use Classifications. Use classifications not listed or substantially similar to the use in Schedule 18.52.020-A or subsection A of this section are prohibited.

The uses shall be in compliance with the following standards:

A.

Dust Control. Roads, driveways and parking areas on the site shall be maintained so as to control dust.

Screening. Extracting and processing operations shall be screened in a manner that they are not readily visible from any public street. Screening shall be set back at least twenty feet from any intersection of driveways, streets or sidewalks.

C.

Drainage and Erosion Control. Surface drainage shall be controlled to prevent the addition of silt or loose material above that naturally occurring in any existing drainage course or encroaching upon adjoining property and improvements. All provisions to control watercourses shall be designed to prevent overflow or diversion of water away from the natural point of discharge.

D.

Reclamation Schedule. Reclamation of each area shall commence as soon as excavation operations or other sand- and gravel-related operations have been completed within an area and continue in a diligent manner prior to, or concurrently with, the extension of excavation operations to a new area.

E.

Removal of Buildings and Equipment. Buildings and equipment used in surface mining and quarrying operations shall be removed within six months of the termination of surface mining and quarrying operations on the site.

F.

Setbacks from Creeks and Riparian Areas. Minimum setbacks shall be as required by the general plan (see Natural Resources Element, Figure 3-3); setback areas are to be clear of buildings, impervious surfaces, and active play areas. Passive use areas, bikeways, and trails may be located adjacent to riparian corridors subject to environmental review.
