PROJECT HISTORY & DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on the north side of Broadway approximately 1,000 feet
east of Mirador Ct. The property currently has split zoning; it is 52% AFT (Agricultural,
Forestry, Transitional) and 48% RSF-4 (Residential Single Family, 4 units per acre) with
a future land use designation of CPA (Cooperative Planning Area), which relates to the
AF-35 (Agricultural and Forestry) and AFT (Agricultural, Forestry, Transitional) zoning
11districts. Therefore, the 48% of the property with the RSF-4 zoning district is not
compatible with the CPA future land use designation.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the portion of property currently zoned RSF-4 to
the AFT zoning district so that the entire parcel will be zoned AFT, which does align with
the CPA future land use designation and will eliminate the split zoning.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE MESA COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
Section 4.15.C Approval Criteria
In acting on a Rezoning application, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider
the General Approval Criteria in Section 3.09, consider the stated purpose of the
proposed zoning district, and may approve the Rezoning application only after
considering the following:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the Mesa County Master Plan;
The property under consideration is designated in the Future Land Use Map as
CPA, intended as a community separator and buffer zone with very low density
single-family residential development of 1 dwelling unit per 5-35 acres. The request
for AFT is consistent with the Mesa County Master Plan.
This criterion has been met.
2. The land to be rezoned was previously zoned in error or conditions have
changed so that the rezoning is consistent with the Master Plan;
This property has split zoning of AFT (52%) and RSF-4 (48%), and was not
previously zoned in error. The Future Land Use Map designates the property as
12CPA, therefore rezoning so that the entire property is zoned AFT is consistent with
the Master Plan.
This criterion has been met.
3. Public facilities and services are or can be made adequate to serve the types
and scope of land uses allowed in the proposed zoning district.
Public facilities and services are adequate to serve this property. The property is
located within the Ute Water District and would require on-site wastewater treatment
system (OWTS) due to no sewer service available. Lower Valley Fire Department,
Xcel Energy, and Mesa County Sherriff’s Department also serve this property.
This criterion has been met.
4. 3.09 GENERAL APPROVAL CRITERIA:
In addition to specific approval criteria listed for each type of development review
process, the Decision-Making Body shall consider if the proposal:
A. Complies with all applicable standards, provisions, and purposes of this
Land Development Code.
The intent of the AFT zoning district is primarily intended to accommodate
agricultural operations and very low density single family development. This
application meets the rezone criteria for provision of rural services, and it meets
the future Land Use designation in the Master Plan.
This criterion has been met.
B. Is consistent with review agency comments.
The proposal is consistent with review agency comments.
This criterion has been met.
C. Is consistent with applicable intergovernmental agreements between the
County and other entities.
This property is located within the Grand Junction/Fruita buffer area and the
Redlands planning area.
This criterion has been met.
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
As of the date of this project review, no public comments have been received.
6. REVIEW AGENCY COMMENTS:
All review agency comments received are a part of the hearing packet and the file.
7. PROJECT RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends Approval of
the rezone from RSF-4 to AFT and adoption of the resolution on the basis that:
the proposed rezone can comply with the approval criteria for rezones in Section
4.15.C of the 2020 Mesa County Land Development Code, as amended June 28,
2022;
13 the proposed rezone can comply with the general approval criteria in Section
3.09 of the 2020 Mesa County Land Development Code, as amended; and
the proposed rezone is consistent with the Future Land Use Map that designates
the area for CPA.

PRE 2022-0084
Petitioner(s): Alan Squier, Property Owner
Representative: Courtney Patch – River City Consultants, Inc.
Tax Parcel #(s): 2697-331-00-298
Location: 1900 Broadway. Grand Junction, CO 81507
Zoning: AFT 52.00% (Agricultural, Forestry, Transitional District) & RSF-4
48.00% (Residential Single Family – 4 District)
Acreage: ~173.8 acres (83.4 acres RSF-4 & 90.4 acres AFT)
Planner: Sarah Caskie, Associate Planner
Application: To rezone from RSF-4 to AFT (Agricultural, Forestry, Transitional
District)
Location Map:
24Project Description:
The project proposes to rezone approximately 83.4 acres of the parcel from RSF-4 to AFT. Currently
the parcel has split zoning consisting of ~83.4 acres zoned RSF-4 and ~90.4 acres zoned AFT. The
future land use of the parcels is CPA (Cooperative Planning Area). The parcel is located on the north
side of Broadway (Highway 340) and south of the Colorado River. The parcel is currently vacant land
that is being used for agricultural purposes. The property owners are farming lavender in the
northwest corner of the site. The reason for requesting to rezone the property to AFT is due to the
future plans of the property owner to apply for a Conditional Use Permit to improve the property
with a campground, small agricultural retail shop for selling the lavender products grown on site,
and potentially one residential home. The AFT zoning district would also allow residential
construction with an average density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres on septic if the property owner
ever wishes to subdivide in the future.
Approval Criteria:
Section 3.09 General Approval Criteria:
A. Complies with all applicable standards, provisions, and the Purpose (Section 1.05) of this LDC:
The requested rezone is consistent with the Mesa County Land Development Code and the Master Plan.
AFT zoning with an average density of 5 acres supports the Future Land Use designation of CPA which is
an average of 5 acres. The existing RSF-4 zoning does not support the Master Plan for this area.
B. Is consistent with review agency comments; and
All review agency comments will be addressed once the review process has been begun and review
comments have been received.
C. Is consistent with applicable intergovernmental agreements between the County and other
entities.
The property lies within the CPA (Cooperative Planning Area) and rezoning to AFT from RSF-4 in this area
implements the Mesa County Master Plan.
Section 4.15 Rezonings (Zoning Map Amendments):
In evaluating the proposed request, the General Approval Criteria under Section 3.09, the stated
purpose of the proposed zoning district and the following shall be considered:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the Mesa County Master Plan;
The request to rezone the portion of property that is currently zoned RSF-4 to AFT is consistent with the
Mesa County Master Plan. According to Section 5.04 AFT is an appropriate zoning district to implement
in the Cooperative Planning Area.
2. The land to be rezoned was previously zoned in error or conditions have changed so that the
rezoning is consistent with the Mesa County Master Plan; and
25The land was not rezoned in error to the knowledge of the property owner. Conditions have not
changed on site, as the property remains vacant other than minor agricultural activities. The property
owner’s future plans could be properly implemented with the Rezone approval for AFT on the entire
parcel.
3. Public facilities and services are or can be made adequate to serve the types and scope of land
uses allowed in the proposed zoning district.
All public facilities and services are available to the site currently or can be extended/improved if
required to serve the proposed uses on the property.
