FROM I-2 TO I-1 AND C-2

LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF G ROAD AND 23 ROAD

Recitals.

 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 two parcels of the Taurus Subdivision from I-2 (General Industrial) and C-2 (General Commercial) to the I-1 (Light Industrial) and C-2 (General Commercial) zone districts for the following reasons:

The zone districts implement the Commercial/Industrial land use classification as shown on the Future Land Use map of the Growth Plan, and are consistent with the Growth Plan’s goals and policies, and/or are generally compatible with appropriate land uses located in the surrounding area. The request to rezone meets the criteria found in Section 2.6.A of the Zoning and Development Code.

 After the public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the I-1 and C-2 zone districts be established, subject to the recordation of the Taurus Subdivision final plat.

 The Planning Commission and City Council find that the I-1 and C-2 zoning is in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 2.6.A of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code.
