The purpose of this section is to allow the continuation of existing batch plants
near urban areas as a principal, conditionally permitted use when all mining adjacent
to or at the plant site has ceased due to exhaustion of mineral resources. These batch
plants serve established urban centers from sites that are configured for such uses.
Allowing for their continued use through this section provides a practical public
benefit by providing aggregate resources without any new, adverse environmental impacts
at different locations. Further, this section establishes reasonable and uniform development
standards for the configuration and operation of batch plants continuing after mining
operations have terminated that are intended to minimize the plants' impact on resources
and neighboring uses and allows for the batch plant facilities to be repaired, remodeled,
replaced or modernized, in whole or in part, to improve efficiency, reliability, and
safety in the operation of the facility.
