 Ordinance No. 2715

 REZONING A PORTION OF ORCHARD MESA, CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION

 

 

Recitals.

 

 A rezoning has been requested on the subject property from RSF-8 to RSF-5. In evaluating the request in conformance with section 4-4-4 of the Zoning and Development Code the City Council has determined the following:

 1. The change in character in the area has been minimal, but there is concern by the neighborhood that the current zoning would allow additional changes in the area if the existing zoning were allowed to remain. The existing character of the area is closer to that of a RSF-5 zone than a RSF-8 zone.

 2. The neighborhood believes there is a need for the proposed rezone and in fact all property owners except one owner of two parcels have signed the petition requesting the rezone.

 3. The rezone is compatible with the surrounding area. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

 4. The benefit derived by this rezone will be a decrease in the allowed density which the neighborhood is requesting.

 5. This rezone proposal is in conformance with the intent and requirements of the Zoning and Development Code. There is currently no adopted master plan for this area although one is currently being developed.

 6. There are adequate facilities available.

 

 The City Council has duly considered the matter and after recommendation by the Planning Commission which recommended only including those properties within the subject area where owners signed the petition, finds that the requirements for a rezone, as set forth in section 4-4-4 of the Zoning and Development Code, have been satisfied and that all properties within the original proposal should be included in the rezoning.
