BACKGROUND
A portion of the property was the subject of Special Use Permit No. 455 also for Mineral
Extraction, Processing and Cement Manufacturing. Special Use Permit No. 455 was
approved by the Pueblo County Planning Commission on November 24, 1981 with a
single condition requiring a one year review. The applicant, Mineral Reserves, Inc.,
requested the special use permit upon approximately 3,900 acres of State Lands, which
correspond to the boundaries being requested by the current applicant, except that the
current applicant has extended the boundaries to include property northerly of the 1981
lands such that the permitted area would contain approximately 6,000 acres. In 1989,
the Planning Commission approved a one-year review of Special Use Permit No. 455
with three conditions as follows:
1. The applicant shall provide the Department of Planning and Development with a
copy of any present or future local, State or Federal permit applications, permits,
amendments, or releases (e.g., MLRB, air quality, NPDES, Access, etc.)
associated with Special Use Permit No. 455, within 30 days of their submittal or
approval.
2. The applicant shall provide to the Department of Planning and Development a
copy of the renewed lease within 60 days of this April 25, 1989 approval.
3. Special Use Permit No. 455 shall be placed on a 1-year review.
On 4-24-90, a letter from Mineral Reserves, Inc., requested the special use permit be
withdrawn. No activity had taken place up to that point and no permits had been
acquired by the company to initiate the requested activities.
The property was zoned A-1, Agricultural (minimum 40 acres) Zone District on January
6, 1967 with the adoption of amendment to the Pueblo County Zoning Resolution. As
