CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION

ORDINANCE NO. 3524

AN ORDINANCE VACATING A PORTION OF THE 24 1/4 ROAD

RIGHT-OF-WAY

Recitals:

In 1995, a portion of the platted, but unbuilt, 24 1/4 Road right-of-way was vacated in conjunction with the development of Canyon View Park. The southern portion of the right-of-way was not vacated at that time because it would have landlocked a lot in the Pomona Park Subdivision plat. Since then, that lot has been incorporated into the Spanish Trails plans and no longer needs 24 1/4 Road for potential access. The developer is proposing to vacate the portion of the right-of-way adjacent to Spanish Trails, Filing 3. The right-of-way is not needed for future access since Canyon View Park is already developed with alternate access, as is Spanish Trails. Likewise, the Mendicelli property at the NE corner of 24 1/4 Road and G Road does not need additional access. The portion of the right-of-way that is not adjacent to Spanish Trails is not being vacated with this request, but could be in the future.

Staff and Planning Commission find that the proposal to vacate the remainder of 24 1/4 Road meets the criteria of the Zoning and Development Code and recommends approval.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 That the right-of-way described as follows is hereby vacated:
