CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION
ORDINANCE NO. 4543
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SUMMER HILL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING ORDINANCE NOS. 3136 AND 3647 AND THE ADOPTED PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE SUMMER HILL SUBDIVISION PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO MODIFY BULK STANDARDS IN FILING 6 AND FUTURE FILINGS AND PROVIDING A REVISED DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
Recitals:
Summer Hill was zoned PD, (Planned Development) in 1999 and amended in 2009 for a maximum of 201 dwelling units in eight filings. Filings one through six have been approved and recorded. The developer is now requesting an amendment to the Plan to modify the bulk standards for lots under 14,000 square feet (small lots) as identified below for Filing 6 and future filings, to allow either/both attached and detached dwellings in any given filing, and to establish a development schedule. The underlying default zoning district standards of R-4, (Residential – 4 du/ac) are not being modified and will still apply to the large lots. The amendments affect Filing 6 and the future filings for small lots.
This Ordinance amends Ordinance Nos. 3136 and 3647 for Summer Hill. It reduces the minimum side yard setback for principal structures for the small lots from 7’ to 5’ and increases the maximum lot coverage from 50% to 70%. These changes are consistent with the current R-8 zone district standards. This Ordinance also expressly allows detached and/or attached units on the small lots.
The plan amendment will allow a broader mix of housing types in the community and allow additional flexibility in the design of the residential dwelling units, while working within a side yard setback and maximum lot coverage that is consistent with the current R-8 zoning district.
The Planning Commission and City Council find that the amendments are in compliance with the Zoning and Development Code and Comprehensive Plan.
