Ordinance No. 2844 (Word Version)

CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

Ordinance No. 2844

AMENDING SECTIONS 4-2-1 THROUGH 4-2-19 OF THE GRAND JUNCTION

ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING ORGANIZATION OF

BULK REQUIREMENTS WITHIN ZONE DISTRICTS

Recitals.

The common planning definition of Bulk Requirements or Bulk Regulations is as follows (The New Illustrated Book of Development Definitions, Center for Urban Policy Research, 1993):

Standards and controls that establish the maximum size of buildings and structures on a lot and the buildable area within which the building can be located, including coverage, setbacks, height, floor area ratio, and yard requirements.

The intent of bulk requirements is to define the three-dimensional space within which a structure may lawfully be built on a lot. Generally, other standards such as minimum lot area, landscaping requirements, and design guidelines are not defined as a part of bulk requirements.

The Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code currently includes minimum lot area and other standards under the general heading of "bulk requirements" for each zone district. The primary concern with the current Code is that the Board of Appeals may "hear and decide appeals for variance of the bulk requirements for the zoning districts in this Code" which includes variances to minimum lot area. Over time, the consideration and granting of variances for minimum lot area could compromise the intent of the density differences among the various zoning districts. Such a variance is, in effect, a rezoning. Density is one of the most basic tenants of zoning. Density should be changed if at all, via a rezoning and public hearing by the Planning Commission and City Council rather than through a variance process.

The Grand Junction Planning Commission, at its March 7, 1995 hearing, recommended approval of this text amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS OF THE GRAND JUNCTION ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT CODE ARE HEREBY AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
