ORDINANCE NO. 3885

 

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION'S SUBMITTAL STANDARDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS ("SSID"), AND AUTHOIZING PUBLICATION OF THE AMENDMENTS BY PAMPHLET

 

RECITALS:

 

The City of Grand Junction's Submittal Standards for Improvements and Development ("SSID") were last revised by City Council in April 2004. When SSID was first included as part of the Zoning and Development Code ("Code"), Council requested Staff perform annual update of the Code to determine whether any changes are needed.

 

Staff has met with and worked with the public, developers, engineers, architects, land planners and surveyors in the community to improve SSID. The proposed amendments come from the input of Staff and these members of the community. The major goals of this revision are to: a. Streamline the document; b. Create a more understandable document; and c. Incorporate the public's input.

 

Approval of this ordinance will replace the previous SSID manual adopted with Ordinance No. 3623. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendments at the March 28, 2006 hearing.

 

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

 

The City’s Submittal Standards for Improvements and Development as presented and approved by the City Council at the April 19, 2006, hearing, are hereby adopted and replace the SSID manual previously adopted by way of ordinance.

 

Due to the length of this document, and because it is available in a readily used bound pamphlet the City Clerk is authorized to publish the Submittal Standards for Improvements and Development adopted with this Ordinance by pamphlet. The pamphlet may be reviewed in the City's Community Development Department and the Clerk's office at 250 N. 5th Street, Grand Junction, between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, except holidays.

 

The bound pamphlet containing the approved Submittal Standards for Improvements and Development ("SSID") was introduced on first reading this 5th day of April, 2006.

 

Passed and adopted on second reading this 19th day of April, 2006.
