RESOLUTION NO. 59-99

A RESOLUTION

AMENDING THE GROWTH PLAN

OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO,

Recitals:

 The owner of property located NE of 26 ½ Road and Catalina Drive has requested a rezone and approval of a preliminary plan for 201 residential units, including 31 detached single family units and 170 attached units on approxi- mately 80.5 acres, known as Summer Hill.

 The property is designated as Residential Medium (4-7.9 units/acre) on the adopted Growth Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The applicant is requesting a Growth Plan amendment to Residential Medium-Low Density (2-3.9 units /acre) concurrent with the rezone to permit the proposed development density. Staff recommends that the Land Use Map also be amended for the existing Paradise Hills development which, while designated as Residential Medium, is actually developed at a density within the Residential Medium-Low Density category.

The City has executed the “Agreement between Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction providing for an interim joint Plan consistency review and Plan amendment process for the joint Urban Area Plan” which provides criteria to evaluate Growth Plan Amendment requests and the City Council having considered the Growth Plan Amendment criteria and finds that the request for the subject area is consistent with said criteria for the reasons contained in the staff report for the Summer Hill project,

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