CHOSTNER <br />COMMISSIONER <br />DISTRICT 3 <br />KIM B. HEADLEY <br />DIRECTOR <br />plannineZco.pueblo.co.us <br />This zoning interpretation is issued to clarify and interpret the Rio Grande Special Use Permit <br />No. 1999 -002 ( "SUP 1999 - 002 "). Specifically, clarification is provided with regard to the nature <br />and duration of the cement manufacturing use permitted under SUP 1999 -002. <br />Per Title 17 of the Pueblo County Code, an approved special use shall run with the land for <br />which the permit has been issued and may continue in perpetuity unless specifically provided <br />otherwise by the terms of such permit or unless, upon abandonment of such use, the County <br />takes affirmative action to terminate the special use. In short, approval of a special use <br />effectively changes the zoning of the subject property to specifically allow for the use(s) <br />identified in the special use permit subject to any further express conditions set forth in the <br />permit. <br />SUP 1999 -002 permits (i) mineral extraction and accessory processing activities and (ii) cement <br />manufacturing. Upon the cessation of all extraction activity, SUP 1999 -002 requires the <br />reclamation of only those lands used for mineral extraction and accessory processing activities. <br />Conversely, SUP 1999 -002 does not require reclamation of the land used for cement <br />229 WEST 12"' STREET • PUEBLO, COLORADO 81003 -2810 • (719) 583 -6(00 • FAX (719) 583 -6376 <br />
