CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

 

ORDINANCE NO. 4496

 

 

AN ORDINANCE REZONING 22 SCHOOL DISTRICT 51 OWNED PROPERTIES

FROM CSR (COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RECREATION) TO R-2, R-4, R-5, R-8, B-2 AND C-1 LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY

 

 

Recitals.

 

 With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan certain land use designations no longer allow CSR zoning, which has prompted the City initiated rezones to ensure that the zoning and land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan are consistent. To encourage appropriate reuse, should the School District decide to sell a school site, the property would already be zoned appropriately for redevelopment.

 

 

 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 22 properties from CSR (Community Service and Recreation) to the R-8 (Residential – 8 units per acre); R-5 (Residential – 5 units per acre); R-4 (Residential – 4 units per acre); - R-2 (Residential – 2 units per acre); B-2 (Downtown Business); and C-1 (Light Commercial) zone districts for the following reasons:

 

 The zone districts meet the recommended land use categories as shown on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies and are 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 aforementioned zone districts be established.

 

 The Planning Commission and City Council find that the zonings are in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.
