Planning Commission forwards 7.37-acre annexation at 2716 B And A Quarter Road to city council
Summary
The Grand Junction Planning Commission voted 6–0 to forward ANX2024-16, a request to annex 7.37 acres at 2716 B And A Quarter Road from Mesa County RSF-4 to City RM-8, after staff concluded the proposal meets comprehensive-plan consistency, development-pattern, and community-benefit criteria. No public comment was received.
The Grand Junction Planning Commission on an evening in 2024 voted to forward a recommendation of approval to city council for ANX2024-16, a request by Highway 50 Self Storage Parking LLC to annex 7.37 acres at 2716 B And A Quarter Road from Mesa County RSF-4 to City RM-8 (residential medium).
City zoning supervisor Jessica Johnson told commissioners the proposed RM-8 zone is consistent with the city's 2020 comprehensive plan and that staff found the three required rezoning criteria—consistency with the comprehensive plan, logical development patterns, and community benefit—have been met. Johnson entered the draft ordinance, annexation plat, and related exhibits into the record and summarized that the parcel is adjacent to existing urban services and development.
The commission asked for clarification on site configuration and public-notice records; Commissioner 2 confirmed the property is not a complete enclave and Commissioner 8 noted a discrepancy in reported neighborhood-meeting attendance (12 versus 3), which staff attributed to the application having been dormant and relying on previous planner notes. No members of the public offered comment on this item.
Commissioner 4 moved to forward a recommendation of approval with the findings listed in the staff report; the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed 6 to 0. The recommendation to annex the property and apply RM-8 zoning will proceed to city council for final action.
Next steps: the city council will consider the annexation and, if accepted, the city will apply the RM-8 zone and subsequent permitting and site development processes will follow.
