AN ORDINANCE REZONING PATTERSON PLACE

MXG-3 (MIXED USE GENERAL) AND MXS-3 (MIXED USE SHOPFRONT)

LOCATED AT 2562/2566/2570 PATTERSON ROAD

Recitals:

The properties have been used historically as agricultural land and more recently as single family homes. The properties were annexed into the City in 1979 (zoned R-1-C), 1980 (zoned R-1-C) and 1986 (zoned RSF-4). The properties have since been rezoned through several changes to zone district designations with updates to the Zoning and Development Code. All are currently zoned R-8.

In 2009, the City of Grand Junction City Council adopted the Comprehensive Plan followed in 2010 by an updated Zoning and Development Code. The new Plan and Code created the Mixed Use Opportunity Corridor and Form Based zone districts that could be requested within the Opportunity Corridor in addition to the other zone districts that would implement the Future Land Use Map designation.

   The properties involved in this request are designated Residential Medium High; however, they also have the Opportunity Corridor overlay allowing the request for a Form Based district which allow for both residential and commercial uses.

 After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning the Patterson Place property from R-8 (Residential 8 du/ac) to the MXG-3 (Mixed Use General) and MXS-3 (Mixed Use Shopfront) zone districts for the following reasons:

 The zone district meets the recommended land use category as shown on the future land use map of the Comprehensive Plan, Residential Medium High and the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies and/or is generally compatible with appropriate land uses located in the surrounding area.

 After the public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the MXG-3 (Mixed Use General) and MXS-3 (Mixed Use Shopfront) zone districts to be established.

 The Planning Commission and City Council find that the MXG-3 (Mixed Use General) and MXS-3 (Mixed Use Shopfront) zoning is in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:

The following property shall be rezoned MXG-3 (Mixed Use General) and MXS-3 (Mixed Use Shopfront).
