CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. 20-00
AMENDING THE GROWTH PLAN OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION
(CROWE ANNEXATION TO RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM LOW)
Recitals:
The Original Future Land Use Map of the Growth Plan designated the Crowe property located at the southeast corner of I Road and 26 ½ Road, as well as the properties to the south, southeast and east, as Residential Medium, 4 to 7.9 units per acre. The properties to the east and southeast were amended to Residential Medium-Low, 2 to 3.9 units per acre on April 21, 1999. The property to the west and northwest is designated as Residential Estate, 2 to 5 acres per unit. The property to the north is designated as Rural with densities ranging between 5 and 35 acres per unit.
The Crowe property was recently annexed to the City of Grand Junction. In accordance with the Persigo Agreement, the City can consider zoning newly annexed property consistent with the previous County zoning or consistent with the Growth Plan. Due to new Growth trends and the re-designation of lands to the south and east to Residential Medium low from Residential Medium, staff recommended that the property be re-designated to the Residential Medium Low density (2 – 3.9 units per acre).
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” in the following ways:
1. There was an error in the original plan in designating this property as Residential Medium.
2. Public and community facilities are adequate to serve the type and scope of land use proposed.
3. The community will derive benefits from the proposed amendment.
The Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of the Growth Plan Amendment from Residential Medium to Residential Medium low and City Council subsequently approved the request at its February 16, 2000 hearing.
NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE AREAS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE RECLASSIFIED FROM THE RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM LAND USE CATEGORY TO RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM LOW (2 – 3.9 UNITS PER ACRE):
