ORDINANCE NO. 3872

AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE ARBORS SUBDIVISION

LOCATED AT 2910 ORCHARD AVENUE TO PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)

Recitals.

 A rezone from RMF-8 (Residential Multi-Family, not to exceed eight dwelling units per acre) to Planned Development 5.04 dwelling units per acre (PD-5.04) has been requested for the property located at 2910 Orchard Avenue, as part of the “Arbors Subdivision”, for purposes of developing a residential project of single-family attached and single-family detached dwelling units on 20.394 acres of land, with some sub-units allowed over selected garages. The total number of residential lots is 96. This does not count the allowed number of sub-units, nor are the sub-units part of the density calculation.

The City Council finds that the request meets the goals and policies and future land use set forth by the Growth Plan (4 to 8 units per acre). City Council also finds that the requirements for a rezone as set forth in Section 2.6 of the Zoning and Development Code have been satisfied.

 The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its February 14, 2006 hearing, recommended approval of the rezone request from RMF-8 to PD and approval of the Preliminary Planned Development (PD) for the Arbors Subdivision.
