34.04.010 Introduction.
The Redlands Planning Area is located south and west of the Colorado River from the Highway 340 Colorado River Bridge at Fruita on the Northwest, the Colorado National Monument on the south and the Gunnison River on the east (Figure 1).
The Redlands is named for the area’s red soils and spectacular red cliffs and canyons of the Colorado National Monument, which rise as much as 2,000 feet from the floor of the Grand Valley.
In concert with the Redlands Area Transportation Study (RATS), Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction conducted a process to update the 1986 Redlands Goals and Policies Plan to reflect the specific needs of the Redlands. The Mesa Countywide Land Use Plan, the City of Grand Junction Growth Plan, adopted in 1996, and the Fruita Community Plan 2020 provide the basis for this more detailed neighborhood plan.
The purpose for updating the plan is to identify and articulate detailed needs of the area as they have changed over the last several years. The plan will help achieve community goals by providing specific policies and implementation strategies.
