The Subarea Plan was developed with involvement primarily by
the 24 Road Steering Committee, property owners in the corridor, representatives
of Grand Junction and Mesa County departments, and members of the
Grand Junction Planning Commission. The process for developing the
Plan began in September, 1999, when the City of Grand Junction retained
a team of consultants comprised of BRW, Inc., in association with
Leland Consulting Group to organize and direct the public process
to develop and evaluate various alternative development patterns or
options.
The project focused on investigating economic, financial, and
market conditions in Grand Junction and the project area, as well
as the physical conditions of the site related to utilities, land
use, transportation and environmental features.
During the planning process, which lasted approximately four
months, the consultant team led a series of seven workshops with the
24 Road Corridor Steering Committee, to review assembled data, prepare
and review alternative land use schemes, determine a preferred land
use plan, and review actions required to implement the preferred plan
for the corridor.
The findings, conclusions and recommendations for the Plan are
presented in this report, which will be presented to the Grand Junction
Planning Commission and City Council during the early part of the
year 2000.
