A. In conjunction with the mining permit a subsequent use of the mining site shall also be approved. The owner/operator shall submit a plan, in sufficient detail, to determine that the subsequent use of the mining site will be in conformance with the comprehensive plan and this title. The owner/operator shall submit evidence that the amount of material to be removed is commensurate with the subsequent land use.

B. The development of the subsequent use may precede the completion of the mining. In such cases the operations plan and subsequent use plan shall be designed to reduce conflict between the subsequent use and the operations of the mine. If the subsequent use is developed in phases each phase must be able to stand on its own without reliance upon development of subsequent phases or future mining activity unless a phasing plan is approved by the planning director. The phasing plan must minimize the need for future development or mining necessary to complete the phase and provide for time frames to complete each phase including what is needed, e.g., extension of which utilities, streets, provision of parks, etc. The director may require financial security to ensure the completion of each phase.
