CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION
RESOLUTION NO. 18-12
A RESOLUTION VACATING PORTIONS OF MULTIPURPOSE EASEMENTS RESERVED AND RETAINED BY THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION IN ORDINANCES NO. 4412, 4413, AND 4414
RECITALS:
Staff has brought the application forward on behalf of the City to vacate portions of the multipurpose easements reserved and retained in Ordinances No. 4412, 4413, and 4414. These multipurpose easements were reserved and retained when the rights-of-way in which the easements lie were vacated. Since the vacation, staff has determined that not all of the area reserved and retained is necessary to properly maintain and/or install utilities and the like in the multipurpose easements. As not all of the area is needed staff is recommending the vacation of the excess easement areas to allow more opportunities for use of the land.
At its May 8, 2012 hearing the Grand Junction Planning Commission found that the request to vacate the portions of the multipurpose easements that are unnecessary satisfies the review criteria set forth in Section 21.02.100(c) of the Zoning and Development Code and recommended approval.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:
The City Council finds that the vacation meets the criteria set forth in Section 21.02.100(c) of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and is accordance therewith the following described multipurpose easement area is hereby vacated:
