The purpose of this zone is to implement the objectives of the Josephine County comprehensive plan to facilitate the use and development of aggregate resources. This zone sets out the standards which will allow the use and development of all land which is identified as aggregate resources consistent with Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 5. Josephine County recognizes the importance of protecting and utilizing the mineral and aggregate resources in the County. Residents of this zone should recognize that the intent of this zone is to protect resource activities and that in the event of a conflict between residential use and resource practices, this title will be interpreted in favor of the resource practice.
