 Ordinance No. 2692

 VACATING A PORTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AT 372 RIDGES BOULEVARD

RECITALS

 The City is in the process of subdividing a portion of designated Open Space within the Ridges subdivision in order to dispose of the property located at 372 Ridges Boulevard (vacant former office of Ridges Metropolitan District). In doing so, it was discovered that a portion of the existing parking lot for the office building encroaches into the Ridges Boulevard right-of-way. Vacation of this portion of the right-of-way is requested in order to rectify the situation.

 The Grand Junction Planning Commission at their June 1, 1993 hearing recommended approval that a portion of the right-of-way at 372 Ridges Boulevard be vacated and approved the Ridges Minor Subdivision which includes dedication of the vacated portion as utility easement.

 The City Council has duly considered the matter and the recommendation of the Planning Commission and finds that the requirements for vacation of a right-of way, as set forth in section 8-3 of the Zoning and Development Code, have been satisfied.
