The developer shall dedicate 3.54 acres to the public for use as an Open Space park and regional stormwater detention facility. The developer shall construct specific improvements in the Open Space park.
After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning the Fuoco property to the Planned Development District (PD) with the Residential Multi-Family 8, not to exceed 8 units per acre (RMF-8), default zone district, for the following reasons:

• The zone district meets the criteria of Chapter 5 of the Zoning and Development Code.
