22.08.010 Plan adoption.

Amendment to the Joint Urban Area Future Land Use Plan, an element of the Mesa County Master Plan, and a part of the Grand Junction Growth Plan in recognition that the area was added to the Persigo Sewer Service Area in March 2006.

After six months of review, the City Planning Commission and the Mesa County Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 27, 2007, and approved the H Road/Northwest Area Plan. The City Council held a public hearing on April 18, 2007, and approved the plan. The H Road/Northwest Area Plan includes the following elements:

(a)    An amendment to the City and County’s Future Land Use Map from “Rural” to “Commercial/Industrial” (C/I) for all properties located within the plan area that are currently designated as “Rural.”

(b)    Adoption of policies and performance standards that will help mitigate impacts to the adjacent residential neighborhood(s) outside of the plan area.

(c)    An amendment to the Grand Junction Circulation Plan to include the plan area and establish an appropriate street network that will accommodate future growth in the area.

22.08.030 Grand Junction Circulation Plan Map amendment.

Changes to the Grand Junction Circulation plan (formerly Grand Valley Circulation Plan) include adding major collector roads including 21 1/2 Road between U.S. Highway 6 and H 1/2 Road, H 1/4 Road between 21 1/2 Road and 22 Road, 21 3/4 Road between H Road and H 1/2 Road, and H 1/2 Road between 21 Road and 22 Road. The plan also identifies the need for a local street to be constructed between Valley Court and 21 1/2 Road and Bond Street and H 1/2 Road.

Potential intersection improvements were identified through the planning process for the intersections of 21 1/2 Road and U.S. Highway 6 where the potential exists for a proposed traffic control location such as a traffic signal or other traffic control improvements. The two intersections of Valley Court and 22 Road with U.S. Highway 6 where traffic movements may need to be restricted in the future were not included in the final Grand Valley Circulation Plan (now the Grand Junction Circulation Plan) amendment, although they were identified as needing additional study.
