Maverick Place LLC presently owns the 0.144 acre parcel located at 1032 Belford Avenue. This parcel is currently zoned C-1 (in the Greater Downtown Transitional Overlay). We are pursuing a rezone to R-O (Residential Office). There is an existing single family home on site that is intended to be removed after Site Plan approval with intentions of constructing four attached units potentially platted as townhomes (the Rezone must be secured first). The property is abutting single family residential to the east, commercial development to the north, single family residential to the west and south. The Future Land Use Plan promotes Neighborhood Center on this property.

The applicant, La Plata Communities LLC, and GJ Land Company LLC., has recently submitted an Annexation Plan as well as a Metro District Plan, and is now seeking to incorporate these actions with specific additional entitlements to allow the efficient assembly, planning, and zoning of five properties into a unified +/-600 acre Planned Development. This proposal is for a mixture of Single Family Residential lots (1200 to 1400) and Multi-Family Residential lots (100 to 400 units), providing a total Outline Development Plan (ODP) Density request with a range of 1,300 to 1,800 units, along with the potential of up to 30,000 square feet of Limited Commercial Space. It is worth clarifying: (1) over half of the project area is already annexed into the City, and thus the differing and smaller acreage for annexation; (2) the submitted Metro District is 21 acres larger than the ODP area because it includes Canyon Rim 360 to the south, which will remain zoned as R-1, and is being developed ahead of Redlands-360; and (3) there is purposeful flexibility in the Outline Development Plan request for 1,300 to 1,800 housing units (single family and multi-family), which creates the density range of 2.16 units per acre to 3.0 units per acre.

Discussion of revisions to proposed mini-warehouse performance standards

The applicant will first be submitting an Annexation/Rezone and Right of Way Vacation, followed by a Preliminary/Final Subdivision application to the City of Grand Junction. - Annexation/Rezone: Currently, 2767 C Road is in the county and zoned RSF-4 (4 dwelling units/acre). The parcel below it is also in the county and currently zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development). The applicant is proposing to annex both properties into the City of Grand Junction with a rezone of R-8 (8 units per acre). - Right-of-Way Vacation: Currently there is an un-built, but platted right-of-way on the parcel zoned as PUD. The subdivision plan has since lapsed and the right-of-way needs to be vacated before anything new can be done. In addition, there are a few utility and drainage easements that need to be eliminated and/or relocated per the new subdivision plan. - Preliminary/Final Subdivision: Following the first two steps noted above, the applicant will then submit a preliminary/final subdivision application. If the R-8 zone gets approved, the plan is to subdivide the total 16.9 acres into 116-121 single family lots resulting in a density of 6.3-6.5 units/acre. A visual of this plan will be provided at both the in person and online meetings.
