"In the wake of a failed attempt to bring residential housing to Guadalupe Valley Canyon Quarry, quarry officials are picking up where they left off and renewing a county permit to continue mining.But some residents unhappy with the dust, traffic and environmental impacts from the quarry are continuing to push the city to find another way to shut it down.Measure B, which would have allowed 173 residential units, a community facility, open space and a public park to be built on the 157-acre quarry site, failed overwhelmingly last November with 73 percent opposed, largely because many oppose residential or commercial development on the site. As a result, California Rock and Asphalt Co. has begun revising its reclamation plan to begin renewing its surface mining permit with San Mateo County, a process that had been on hold since 2000 because of the effort to bring housing to the site.\"Usually you revise it when the surface mining permit has to be renewed or extended\" on five-year terms, said Mignone Wood, a land-use consultant specializing in quarries who works with California Rock &amp;amp; Asphalt."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
