   H.   Reclamation Plan For New And Expanded Uses: All new extractive use sites or the expansion of an existing site across property lines existing as of April 12, 1995, must submit a reclamation plan to the Planning Commission, indicating how the site will be reclaimed upon completion of mining activities to allow for the productive and compatible reuse of the site. The reclamation plan shall include the following items of information:
      1.   A grading plan showing the end state topography of the site upon completion of reclamation;
      2.   A revegetation plan indicating what planting will occur to reestablish vegetation on the site;

21A.32.130: MU MIXED USE DISTRICT:
   A.   Purpose Statement: The purpose of the MU Mixed Use District is to encourage the development of areas as a mix of compatible residential and commercial uses. The district is to provide for limited commercial use opportunities within existing mixed use areas while preserving the attractiveness of the area for residential use. The district is intended to provide a higher level of control over nonresidential uses to ensure that the use and enjoyment of residential properties is not substantially diminished by nonresidential redevelopment. The intent of this district shall be achieved by designating certain nonresidential uses as conditional uses within the Mixed Use District and requiring future development and redevelopment to comply with established standards for compatibility and buffering as set forth in this section. The design standards are intended to facilitate walkable communities that are pedestrian and mass transit oriented while still ensuring adequate automobile access to the site.
   B.   Permitted Uses: Uses in the MU Mixed Use District as specified in section 21A.33.070, "Table Of Permitted And Conditional Uses For Special Purpose Districts", of this title are permitted subject to the provisions set forth in section 21A.32.010 of this chapter and this section.
