' Areas to the Southwest, West and Northwest are presently being used for gravel extraction. Tha Southwest area has been used £or many pears and will probably be completed in the next few years. The other areas are 1 larger and appear to have several more years of use. ' The area North of the Easterly 2/3 has been leveled and is being used as cultivated farmland. 5. ZONING: The portion of the land lying in Weld County is zoned "A" Agricultural. ' Gravel extracting is a permitted use, but requires that an application, information on the operation and fees be presented to the Weld County Planning Commission and approved by the County Commissioners:-and that a ' "Special Use Permit° be granted. The small portion of the land that lies within the City of Greeley is zoned "I 2" Medium Industrial. This zone allows gravel extraction by ' right but requires a "Special Use Permit" similar to the County's require- ments. As no mining is planned in the area within the City, no application t is being made directly to them, however, both the State and County will refer the Gravel Extraction Plans to the City for review. The City'e Master Plan shows this area to eventually and properly be 1 zoned "CD" Conservation Diatrict as the land is both within the flood plain and contains commercial mineral deposits. The uses by right within ' a "CD" district are cultivation of crops, rainsing of livestock; public parks and golf courses, holding ponds and other structures for flood control and watershed protection, and commercial mineral extraction activities. ' The uses by review are dwellings for caretakers, permanent buildings and structures accessory to arty uses by right, radio towers, and sanitary land fills.
