NARRATIVE Dillon Ranches proposes the accompanying text amendment to the Animas Valley Land Use Plan related to section 106-393, a part of the land use code of La Plata County specifically dealing with portions of the Animas Valley, north of Durango, Colorado. The property is in the Animas Valley Planning District and is located east of Sandco, Inc, between the Animas River and CR 250 in the SE '/< of Section 10 ,the SW '/a of Section 11, NWl/4 of Section ]4 and the NEl/4 of Section 15, all T 36 N, R9W, NMPM. The text amendment addresses the concept of allowing already special use permitted sand and gravel operations to be modified as to the location of their permitted acreages if certain conditions are met. The text amendment would require that several conditions be met to enable use of this provision: - properties/operations considered would be under the same ownership and only acreages adjoined or contiguous to the original property permitted to utilize this provision; zoning classification would change through a map amendment coincidental to the Special Use Permit. - the resuhant operation would not show a net gain of acreage in sand and gravel mining use; it would be a change in location of mining permit acreage with DMG required reclamation preceding new excavation. - a conceptual development plan would be presented that would outline the affected areas, with proposed phases of development indicated coincidental to the phases of the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) permit. The process of obtaining the modified Special Use Permit and concun•ent Plan Amendment would be the submittal of an application for the Special Use Permit and Plan Amendment along with a conceptual development plan (CDP) and a Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) permit. Each phase of the CDP would mirror the phases of the CDMG permit. A condition of each phase of the conceptual development plan would be that a valid CDMG pernut for the new location or acreage be obtained and a CDMG release of equal acreage due to reclamation of a portion of the original permit area be available at the same time.
