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.

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.
