 After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of applying an RMF-8 zone district to this property.

 After public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the RMF-8 zone district meets the criteria found in Section 2.6 of the Zoning and Development Code for the following reasons:

•  Current land uses, zoning and trends in the area have been at a residential intensity consistent with the RMF-8 zone district.

•  The RMF-8 zone district is compatible with the level of traffic on the adjacent roadways and provides a better buffer between the lower density residential to the south and the commercial development on the north.

•  The RMF-8 zone district is consistent with the Growth Plan and the community’s goals for urban infill and reduction of sprawl by increasing densities in areas serviced by existing, adequate infrastructure.
