RESOLUTION NO. 51-15

A RESOLUTION RENAMING F ⅛ ROAD BETWEEN 24 ½ ROAD AND DEVILS THUMB DRIVE TO FLAT TOP LANE

Recitals.

Title 21.06.010(b)(6) of the Grand Junction Municipal Code states a street naming system shall be maintained to facilitate the provisions of necessary public services and provide more efficient movement of traffic. For consistency, this system shall be adhered to on all newly platted, dedicated, or named streets and roads. Existing streets and roads not conforming or inconsistent to the addressing system shall be made conforming as the opportunity occurs.

Streets and road names that contain fractions have been identified as an issue throughout the community for a variety of reasons, including visitors to the community being able to navigate to electronic GPS and 911 systems not “understanding” the fraction. There are 19 properties addressed off this section of F 1/8 Road, all under one ownership. The owner is looking at developing the property in the future and agrees that a name that is less confusing would be better for his long term development concepts.

The proposed name change will not negatively impact adjacent land uses or neighborhood stability or character.

The proposal is in conformance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and requirements of the Zoning and Development Code.

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

That F ⅛ Road between 24 ½ Road and Devils Thumb Drive as described in this resolution is hereby changed to Flat Top Lane.

ADOPTED AND APPROVED THIS 2^nd day of December, 2015.

ATTEST:

/s/: Juanita Peterson        /s/: Phyllis Norris
