CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
Ordinance No. 2949
REZONING LAND LOCATED SE OF SOUTH CAMP ROAD AND SOUTH BROADWAY
FROM RSF-4 TO PR-2
Recitals:
Redlands Water and Power has requested a rezone from RSF-4 (Residential Single Family, 4 units per acre) to PR-2 (Planned Residential with a density not to exceed 2 units per acre) on their property located south-east of South Camp Road and South Broadway to allow for the location of their office and maintenance facility and to reduce the density on the remainder of the site to bring it more in conformance with the surrounding area. The site currently has an irrigation canal, siphon and a pump station for the Company's First Lift Station. In the application, the petitioner states that in 1961 when Mesa County applied R-2 zoning to the property that Redlands Water and Power had been utilizing the property for the operation and maintenance of its canals and facilities. When the City annexed the site in 1995 the RSF-4 zone was applied.
Section 7-2-1 of the Zoning and Development Code states the uses that can be considered in the PR zoning. Those uses include "public facilities such as, but not limited to, schools, recreational facilities, hospitals, churches, cultural buildings or structures essential to providing the public with electric power, gas, water, sanitation, etc.".
The City Council concurs with the applicants assertion that the increasing urbanization of the Redlands area has changed the character of Redlands Water and Power service needs, requiring that the facility be more centrally located to serve their customers more efficiently. Council finds the reduction of the zoned density to be a general benefit to the community and further finds the rezone to be in compliance with section 4-4-4 of the Zoning and Development Code.
