ORDINANCE NO. 3303
AMENDING TABLES 3.2 AND 3.5 AND SECTION 3.2.H.4, AND ADDING SECTION 3.4.J
TO THE GRAND JUNCTION ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO CREATE A MIXED-USE ZONE DISTRICT
RECITALS. One of the recommendations of the 24 Road Corridor Subarea Plan was to create a new zone district to accommodate mixed use. The Mixed-Use (M-U) zone district is patterned off the Industrial-Office (I-O) zone district with an added residential component. This zone district is being added to the Zoning and Development Code and will be applied to the area designated as “Mixed-Use” on the Future Land Use Map of the 24 Road Corridor Subarea Plan. The zone district would also be available for other areas of the City if found to be appropriate.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION:
The Zoning and Development Code is hereby amended to add section 3.4.J and amend tables 3.2 and 3.5 as shown on attachment A and amend the first sentence of section 3.2.H.4 to read as follows:
“The maximum height for structures may be increased by up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the allowed height by the Planning Commission, except that in RSF-R, RSF-E, RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-4 and MU, additional height shall only be granted by a variance.”
Introduced on first reading this 18th day of October, 2000.
Passed and adopted on second reading this 15th day of November, 2000.
