Recitals:

 

  The subject parcel is currently zoned R-16 (Residential – 16 units per acre). The Lot is approximately 0.4 acres in size. There is potential for more residential development on this lot, but the site has met its maximum density. R-24 zoning (Residential – 24 units per acre) is to provide for high density residential uses. This district allows multifamily development within specified densities, with a minimum density is 16 units per acre and no maximum density. This district is intended to allow high density residential unit types and densities to provide a balance of housing opportunities in the community.

 

 It has been determined that there is an inadequate supply of R-24 zoned lands within the City limits, with a total of 196 acres zoned R-24 and only 45 acres vacant citywide.

 

 In public hearings, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed the request for the rezone and determined that the R-24 zone district meets the recommended land use category as shown on the future land use map of the Comprehensive Plan, Residential High Mixed Use, and the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies and/or is generally compatible with appropriate land uses located in the surrounding area and is in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY SHALL BE REZONED R-24 (RESIDENTIAL – 24 UNITS PER ACRE).
