Recitals

 

The Elementary Enclave Annexation has been initiated by the City of Grand Junction (“City”) pursuant to the 1998 Persigo Agreement with Mesa County (“Agreement”). With the annexation of the property included in the Mesa View Elementary Annexation on October 17, 2008, the area is enclaved. The terms of the Agreement state that an “enclaved” area shall be annexed into the City. (“Enclaved” means that an unincorporated area is completely surrounded by the City.)

 

The City has also agreed to zone newly annexed areas using a zone district that implements the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning of R-4 (Residential 4 du/ac) implements the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, which has designated the enclaved area as Residential Medium (4-8 du/ac).

 

After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Municipal Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of zoning the Elementary Enclave Annexation to the R-4 (Residential 4 du/ac) zone district, finding conformance with the recommended land use category as shown on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan and the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies and is compatible with land uses located in the surrounding area. The zone district meets criteria found in Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.

 

After public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the R-4 (Residential 4 du/ac) zone district is in conformance with criteria found in Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.
