 Ordinance No. 3061

 REZONING PROPERTY TO BE KNOWN AS

LOTS 1-4, SEQUOIA SUBDIVISION

LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER

 FROM RSF-8 TO PR 5.0

Recitals.

 A rezone request from RSF-8 to PR 5.0 (Planned Residential with a density not to exceed 5 dwellings per acre) has been requested for lots 1-4 of the proposed Sequoia Subdivision located at the southeast corner of 27 1/2 Road and Redwood Court on Orchard Mesa. Currently the lot contains a nonconforming use consisting of four duplexes located on the east half of the lot in a RSF-8 zone, with the west half vacant. The Sequoia Subdivision will subdivide the duplex complex into four lots for refinancing purposes and to eliminate the nonconformity. A rezone from RSF-8 to PR 5.0 is necessary to accomplish this end. The west half of the property will remain vacant and zoned RSF-8.

 The City of Grand Junction Growth Plan/Mesa Countywide Land Use Plan shows this area developing as Residential Medium (4-7.9 dwellings per acre). This proposal is in conformance with the Growth Plan Map.

 The City Planning Commission found that the zoning conforms with Section 4-4-4 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and recommended approval of this rezone request at their June 9, 1998 hearing.

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 City Council finds that the requested rezone meets the criteria as set forth in Section 4-4-4 of the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and in accordance therewith the following described parcel is hereby rezoned from RSF-8 to PR 5.0:
