CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

ORDINANCE No. 2975

Ordinance Zoning the Airport West Enclave Annexation

Recitals.

The following property has been annexed to the City of Grand Junction as the Airport West Enclave Annexation and requires a City zoning designation be applied to the property.

After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of the RSF-2, HO, PAD, PI, and RSF-R zone districts.

The Planning Commission recommended RSF-2 for the Skyline Drive area south of H Road, east of 27 Road and southeast of the Highline canal. Due to the area’s close proximity to the Walker Field airport, City Council determined that a Planned Residential with a maximum of two units per acre should be applied instead so that future additional residences are not built thereby (other than on existing vacant parcels) limiting conflict between additional residents and the noise and other impacts from the airport.

The Planned Residential (PR-2) zone district was found to be a more appropriate zone since it is intended to thereby limit the number of future lot splits, additional subdividing which would be allowed under the RSF-2 zone district.

After public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the PR-2, HO, PAD, PI, and RSF-R zone districts be established.

The City Council finds that the PR-2, HO, PAD, PI, and RSF-R zoning is in conformance with the stated criteria of section 4-4-4 and section 4-11 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION THAT:
