Recitals:

In May, 2012, a Preliminary Plan was approved to develop 23.03 acres in an R-8 (Residential 8 du/ac) zone district for Heritage Estates Subdivision. The approved Preliminary Plan consists of eight (8) filings with 127 units. Ninety-nine units are planned as single family detached and 28 units are planned for multifamily. The proposed multi-family area requires a rezone to R-12 to allow for more density and unit types to be developed per the approved density for the Heritage Estates Preliminary Plan. The community will benefit from more opportunity for alternative housing types other than single-family detached units in this desirable area close to many amenities such as shopping, employment and Canyon View Park.

The property owner requests a rezone from R-8 to R-12. After public notice and public hearing as required by the Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code, the Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended rezoning the property described below from R-8 (Residential – 8 units per acre) to the R-12 (Residential – 12 units per acre) zone district for the following reasons:

The zone district implements the Residential Medium High (8 to 16 du/ac) land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use map of the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies, and is generally compatible with appropriate land uses located in the surrounding area.

After the public notice and public hearing before the Grand Junction City Council, City Council finds that the R-12 zone district be established.

The Planning Commission and City Council find that the R-12 zoning is in conformance with the stated criteria of Section 21.02.140 of the Grand Junction Municipal Code.

The following property shall be rezoned R-12 (Residential – 12 units per acre).
