In addition to other defining provisions in this article, the
term "multiple use" means the management of the public lands and their
various resource values so that they are utilized in the combination
that will best meet the present and future needs of the residents
of Otero County; making the most judicious use of the land for some
or all of these resources or related services over areas large enough
to provide sufficient latitude for periodic adjustments in use to
conform to changing needs and conditions; the use of some land for
less than all of the resources; a combination of balanced and diverse
resource uses that takes into account the long-term needs of future
generations for renewable and nonrenewable resources, including, but
not limited to, recreation, range, timber, minerals, watershed, wildlife
and fish, and natural scenic, scientific and historical values; and
harmonious and coordinated management of the various resources without
permanent impairment of the productivity of the land and the quality
of the environment with consideration being given to the relative
values of the resources and not necessarily to the combination of
uses that will give the greatest economic return or the greatest unit
output. See Section 103(c) of FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. § 1702(c),
1976.
The uses in this zone may be further governed by any future
Otero County Comprehensive Land Use Plan should one be adopted by
the Board of County Commissioners. The land uses that may be included
are, but are not limited to, the following: hunting, fishing, livestock
grazing, mining and mineral exploration and extraction, recreation,
wildlife habitat management, telecommunications, water resource use,
protection and development of timber/woodland products, utility corridors,
and County transportation and circulation roads and corridors.
