Ventura County Planning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Ventura County
8107-42.2 - Definition. ¶
A "stand alone batch plant" is a facility where, following the cessation of mining operations at, or immediately adjacent to, the site due to the exhaustion of mineral resources, pre-processed mineral materials such as cement, aggregate, recycled construction materials, and petroleum products are imported from off-site and are mixed together to create concrete or asphalt for use at construction sites. The following uses may be accessory to the batch plant operation: processing/recycling used concrete and asphalt construction materials, processing mined materials into product for a batch plant, trucking associated exclusively with the subject plant, stockpiling of materials used in the batching operation, offices and maintenance buildings and facilities for the operation.
(Add Ord. 4289—6/24/03)
8107-42.3 - Application.
To qualify as a "stand alone batch plant" under this section, a batch plant (concrete and/or asphalt):
(a)
Must be in operation as of January 1, 1999 and on that date be a legal nonconforming use, a legally permitted principal use, or a legally permitted accessory use to an approved mining operation, in the open space zone within one mile of areas designated "urban" on the general plan;
(b)
Must have received unprocessed material in the past from: (1) a mining operation that was included in the permit which authorized the plant; or (2) a legally permitted mining operation immediately adjacent to the plant and such materials are now exhausted;
(c)
Must be adjacent to or within two thousand (2,000) feet of a four-lane road that trucks have lawful access to and which have a separate left turn lane for access to the site; and
(d)
Must be within a four mile radius of four highways which are a combination of U.S. highways or state routes.
Where a conditional use permit (CUP) exists that specifically regulates the subject batch plant as a principal use, the CUP may remain in effect until the CUP expires, at which time it may be renewed pursuant to this section with a Planning Commission approved CUP. Where the batch plant is not subject to its own specific CUP, but is accessory to a permitted mining operation exhausted of mineral resources, a new CUP for the subject plant, or a modification of the mining permit to include the batch plant as a principal use, shall be applied for within one year of the adoption of Section 8107-42 et seq. Said new CUP or modification shall be subject to approval by the Planning Commission and shall specifically regulate the batch plant operations.
(Add Ord. 4289—6/24/03)
8107-42.4 - Minimum use permit standards.
Any permit approved pursuant to this section shall incorporate all applicable standards associated with mining operations found in Section 8107-9 et seq., including, but not limited to, those relating to setbacks, noise, dust, light, and truck traffic.
