While we have not yet received a formal application from CC&V,we anticipate that it will include a request for zoning changes as a result of proposed modifications to the Cripple Creek Mining Overlay District(CCMOD)presented as part of Amendment 11. Teller County has also received a copy of the amended Amendment 1 l(AM 11)application to M-1980- 244, Cresson Project which is located at or near Section 20,Township 15S, Range 69W, 6th Principle Meridian, in Teller County. Teller County is aware that CC&V has submitted a copy of the amended AM I to DRMS on February 11, 2016. According to the Land Use Regulations,this is in accordance with Appendix A, Cripple Creek Mining Overlay District(CCMOD) of the Teller County Land Use Regulations, 2008; any proposed change to the current CCMOD boundaries can only be amended by application to Teller County for an amendment of the Official Zone District Map. To be eligible for inclusion within the CCMOD a property shall be contiguous with the CCMOD boundary at the time of application, and it must be demonstrated that the property has the geologic potential for precious metal resource development. Pursuant to Appendix A, Section 1. B. "Lots,parcels, tracts of land or mining claims bisected by the CCMOD boundary are construed to lie entirely within the CCMOD". Teller County also understands that this request for a change of the CCMOD boundary map will be initiated by CC&V upon the submission of its application. In accordance with Section 2.11.C.2, "If the development permit application requests an amendment to the Official Zone District Map ("rezoning') or a regulatory map incorporated into an appendix of these Regulations, it shall include a boundary survey of the subject property,prepared by a State of Colorado Licensed Professional Land Surveyor.
