CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

ORDINANCE NO. 4592

AN ORDINANCE ZONING THE

HERITAGE CHURCH ANNEXATION

TO R-O (RESIDENTIAL OFFICE)

LOCATED AT 2935 PATTERSON ROAD

Recitals

The Heritage Church Annexation consists of one parcel of 0.68 acres at 2935 Patterson Road and 0.16 acres (6940 square feet) of the 29 3/8 Road right-of-way.

The property owner, Heritage Church of Grand Junction, has relocated and has requested annexation into the City and a zoning of R-O (Residential Office) to facilitate the sale, reuse, and/or redevelopment of the property.

Under the 1998 Persigo Agreement between the City and Mesa County, any proposed development within the Persigo 201 Boundary that requires a change in zoning is considered annexable. Since the church is attempting to market the property for a use other than a church, a rezoning is necessary and, therefore, the property must be annexed by the City of Grand Junction. The consideration of the rezoning is concurrent with the annexation of the property.

The proposed zoning of R-O (Residential Office) implements the Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Medium (RM) Density (4-8 du/ac) of the Comprehensive Plan.

After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Municipal Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of zoning the Heritage Church Annexation to the R-O (Residential Office) zone district finding that it conforms with the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan, furthers the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies, is generally compatible with land uses located in the surrounding area and meets the zoning criteria found in Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code.

After public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the R-O (Residential Office) zone district is in conformance with the applicable criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, implements and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
