Should extractive uses remain as conditional uses in the Forest Management zone? <br /> Agriculture zone? <br /> 4. Should an Overlay District be created for extractive uses? <br /> a. If so,what should the criteria to base that district on be? <br /> During the discussion,the following criteria were discussed as a basis for developing an overlay <br /> �... district for extractive uses: <br /> 1. Proximity to residential uses <br /> 2. Visibility from roadways or main corridors <br /> 3. Separate extractive uses from accessory uses like processing <br /> 4. Restrict extractive uses to Forest Management and Agriculture zones <br /> 5. Inventory existing extractive uses in the City <br /> 6. Map potential sites of extractive uses <br /> 7.
