Council approves rezoning of East Middle School site to P2 and vacates adjacent alleys for District 51 use
Summary
The council unanimously rezoned the former East Middle School site at 830 Gunnison Ave to a public/civic P2 campus zone and approved two right-of-way vacation ordinances that transfer alley space to Mesa County Valley School District 51 subject to a sanitary sewer easement condition.
The Grand Junction City Council on Aug. 6 adopted an ordinance rezoning roughly 3 acres at 830 Gunnison Avenue — the former East Middle School site — from RM-8 (Residential Medium 8) to P2 (Public, Civic and Institutional Campus). The council also approved two related ordinances vacating alley right-of-way adjacent to the site.
Why it matters: Rezoning the site clears the way for Mesa County Valley School District 51 to use the campus for administrative support services and other institutional uses that are permitted in a P2 zone. Vacating the alley will consolidate ownership and ease the district’s long-term facility planning, while the city will retain necessary easements for utilities.
