The applicant indicates that they will haul and stockpile materials for making concrete on the site, set up the temporary batch plant, and load concrete mixing trucks with fresh concrete which will be hauled to the project. The applicant proposes to use the site from August of 2014 through September of 2015. The haul route would be from the freeway at Little Canada Road to the site access locations on South Owasso Boulevard via Country Drive. The City has eliminated these uses from the zoning ordinance over the past several years, providing only for the stockpiling use on the Fra -Dor property under a separate zoning district and interim use permit. The terms of the IUP in the 1-2 District are as follows: A. Aggregate Materials Stockpiling and/or Recycling, subject to the following conditions: 1. The use is found to be consistent with the existing land uses in the area and with the underlying land use plan for the district in which it is located. 2. The use is screened with earth berms and landscaping from the adjacent streets to a minimum height of ten feet. 3. The operation of the facility includes measures which keep vehicles from spreading mud, dirt, dust, or debris off of the site onto adjacent public roadways. 4. The operation of the facility includes measures for controlling the creation of dust and other particulate matter through watering of the materials, or other methods. 5. Other conditions or requirements as specified by the City Council deemed necessary to keep the site from becoming a nuisance to the public or to adjoining property owners. 6. The aggregate materials stockpiling and/or recycling operation must be the exclusive use of the property subject to the permit, and shall not be mixed with other land uses, whether permitted or conditional. 7. The applicant/operator of the facility posts a financial security guaranteeing compliance with the conditions listed in the permit approval. 8. The applicant/operator of the facility executes an interim use development agreement specifying the conditions of approval, the amount and form of the security to be posted, and the termination date of the interim use. If an amendment is to be considered, the applicable sections of this code would be appropriate. Item 2 is likely not applicable to the request at hand, give the short-term nature of the project. However, it would be valuable to consider a restoration requirement, since upon termination of the use, the site would otherwise create a likelihood of stormwater and erosion issues. Using these requirements as a model, the City could consider an amendment such as follows: A. Temporary Concrete Mixing Plat and accessory Aggregate Materials Stockpiling and/or Recycling, subject to the following conditions: 1. The use is found to be consistent with the existing land uses in the area and with the underlying land use plan for the district in which it is located. 2. The use is related to a public infrastructure construction project of limited duration.
