CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

 RESOLUTION NO. 91-99

AMENDING THE GROWTH PLAN OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION

Recitals.

    A rezone from Residential Single Family 4 units per acre (RSF-4) to Planned Business (PB) has been requested for 5 parcels of land located on the southeast corner of Redlands Parkway and State Highway 340 for purposes of developing a mixed commercial project to include a garden center, a drive-through bank, a restaurant and additional residential units to be known as the Meadowlark Planned Development.

   The parcels are designated at Residential Low (.5 to 1.9 units per acre) on the Future land Use map of the City’s adopted Growth Plan. The applicant is requesting a Growth Plan amendment to Commercial concurrent with the rezone to permit the proposed development. The City Council finds that the request meets the Growth Plan Amendment criteria as adopted in 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”.

 The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its June 1, 1999 hearing, recommended approval of the Growth Plan Amendment request from residential to commercial and City Council subsequently approved the request at its July 7, 1999 meeting.

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE AREAS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE RECLASSIFIED FROM THE RESIDENTIAL LOW LAND USE CATEGORY ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO COMMERCIAL:

 Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the attached Exhibit A, the approved Preliminary Plat for the Meadowlark Planned Development.

PASSED on this 4th day of August, 1999.
