Recitals:

 

The Grand Valley Circulation Plan, formerly known as the Major Street Plan (referred to as “the Plan” hereinafter) identifies both major and minor transportation, circulation and connectivity routes and opportunities.

 

The Plan is made and adopted pursuant to and in accordance with the Colorado Revised Statues and the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code.

 

This modification to the Grand Valley Circulation Plan was recommended for approval by the City of Grand Junction Planning Commission on March 27, 2007.

 

This amendment to the Grand Valley Circulation Plan reflects changes in the Persigo 201 (sewer service) Boundary and Urban Growth Boundary as well as the H Road/ Northwest Area Plan boundary. Circulation, capacity and connectivity needs are all evaluated when looking at the transportation needs of an area.

 

The character and/or condition of the area have changed enough that the amendment is appropriate. The amendment will facilitate safe and efficient access for all modes of transportation. The community will derive benefits from the proposed amendment.

 

In accordance with Section 1.11B.3 of the Zoning and Development Code, the City Council shall, as it deems appropriate, decide, adopt and/or amend the City’s street plans and components of it. For the reasons stated in the foregoing recitals, the Grand Junction Planning Commission and the staff recommend that the City Council adopt the amendment to the Grand Valley Circulation Plan as proposed in the Exhibit A “Recommended District Map Amendment to the Grand Valley Circulation Plan.

 

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

 

The Grand Valley Circulation Plan is hereby amended to include the attached district map.

 

 

Adopted on this 18th day of April, 2007.
