ORDINANCE NO. 4602

AN ORDINANCE ZONING THE CRISPELL PROPERTY,

ALSO KNOWN AS THE CUNNINGHAM INVESTMENT COMPANY ANNEXATION, TO THE R-E (RESIDENTIAL – ESTATE) ZONE DISTRICT

LOCATED AT 2098 E 1/2 ROAD

Recitals:

The property was annexed by the City on January 16, 2008 but was unzoned pending the previous property owner’s request to amend the Growth Plan Future Land Use Map from Estate to Residential Medium Low (2 - 4 du/ac) to allow for more residential density on the property. The request to amend the Growth Plan was ultimately denied by the City Council on February 4, 2008.

The property is annexed but not zoned to a City zone district and has gone through two changes of ownership since it was annexed in 2008. In order to zone the property in accordance with the Zoning and Development Code and State Statutes, the City of Grand Junction has been working with the current property owner, LL Crispell LLC, who is requesting that the property be zoned R-E (Residential – Estate, 1 dwelling unit/acre) to be consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation of Estate. The R-E zone district requires a minimum of a 1 acre lot size and a residential density not to exceed 1 dwelling unit per acre. No development at this time is being proposed with this zoning request.

After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of zoning the Crispell property to the R-E (Residential - Estate) zone district for the following reasons:

The R-E zone district implements the Estate future land use designation shown on the Future Land Use map of the Comprehensive Plan, and meets the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies and is generally compatible with appropriate land uses located in the surrounding area.

After the public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the R-E (Residential – Estate) zone district to be established.

The Planning Commission and City Council find that the R-E (Residential – Estate) zoning is in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.
