The subject property is zoned AIR/RD -Agricultural/ Residential/Rural Density. On September 1 7, 2001, the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners granted conditional approval for the Gabossi/Wagner Subdivision Exemption. Once the conditions of approval are satisfied, the approval permits the owners to divide a 61.5 acre parcel of property into four (4) residential lots consisting of2.76, 20.48, 20.85 and 17.37 acres respectively. While most of those conditions have been satisfied, the owners are not proceeding with t~e well imp_ro~ments on three (3) of the lots u~til . this application is ' · . "j__ presented to the Plannmg Commiss10n and Board of County Comm1ss10ners . _ O J;_~..Q ~U::l-f- ,,... ~GO t0 c:;(,~ {--)._ >.i l&Jr The owners are req.uesting appro.val t~ rezone appro~imately 6.561 acres ?f pr?p~rty L~ 'r ' from AIR/RD, Agncultural/ Residential/ Rural Density to C/L, Commercial/Limited. · This p~rtion of property is located a?jacent to Highw~y 6 and County Road 138. The ~ 11 :1 remammg 58.539 acres would remam as AIR/RD zonmg. The owners are concurrently ~J,. ~ requesting approval to amend the lot lines of the conditional approved Gabossi/Wagner ~~ Exemption in order to create two (2) commercial lots consisting of approximately 3.537 WS~ ~ and 3.024 acres eac~ and two (2) residential lots consisting of approximately 20.22 and ~J..-/l'S'lr-- 34.685 acres respectively. ....,, The reason behind the request is to allow the owners to develop commercial uses on the ~ 3£tl.ll,l., ~e parce l$The anticipated commercial uses on the parce ~would consist of · general service uses and a mini-storage facility. -'---ttd:i~&~~ (.,(,Ok<) ) [' \C..«j Conrad and Marsha Wagner own Precision Cut and Design, a metal and stone cutting business. They presently rent shop space south of Glenwood Springs and would like to construct a shop, for their own use, on a portion of the commercially zoned property. 909 Colorado Avenue • Box 2271 • Glen\Nood Springs.CO 81602 (970) 945-1337 e FAX (970) 945-7914 • • They also intend to construct a single family dwelling unit, for their own use , on the adjoining residential lot. Roe and Mary Gabossi intend to construct and operate the mini storage facility . : IQ\ (i'(" The remainder of the commercial uses , with the ex ception of the mini storage facility ~k.Ji-1 would either rented, leased or sold to individual businesses . The demand, in Garfield t{f_ ~ 1 County, for general service facilities is tremendous. The location of this property is ideal 1 ~ for contractors and associated businesses . The property is relatively close to Glenwood ~ Springs and is close to the growth centers of the Colorado River v alley. Having direct access to Highway 6 and being located within one (1 ) mile of the Canyon Creek interchange makes this property desirable in terms o f accessibility to major road networks. \1'{9 The proposed commercial portion of the property is located adjac ent to Highway 6 and 0 County Road 138. During construction ofl-70, this specifi c area was mined for base . material that was used for fill material to construct portions ofl-70. As a result of the J1:J mining activity, an area was carved out of the hills ide thus creating a relatively flat area ~ r.~? that extends from Highway 6 to appro x imately 200 -3 00 feet to the north. The grading c.Y: ('r activity also created an enclave of property that is vi sually and physically separated from adjoining property to the west, east and north. The subject property is barely visible from X? the I-70 corridor. Approximately 10 acres of adjoining property to the east is zoned C/L Commercial Limited. This property has similar attributes to the subject property. The property fronts Highway 6 and County Road 138 and the terrain i s r elatively flat. A portion ofthis commercially zoned property is owned by the New Creation Church. The congregation is presently in the process of constructing a new church facility on the property. The remainder of the commercially zoned property to the east of the church property is undeveloped. _.+-, "r.rurrhrl.l~ / tLCV\ ti.A..~ ' ' - The type of proposed sewage treatment for the commercial uses w~uld be ISDS . The combined daily flow for the commercial uses on each lot woul d not exceed the m aximum flow of 2 ,000 gallons per day. A central collection system would be designed for all uses on each lot and directed to a common disposal system. According to the SCS soil characteristics table, the soils within this commercial area are ideal and pose slight limitations with respect to individual disposal systems. Percolation tests would be performed to determine the most appropriate type of engineered ISDS system. In November 1998, an Augmentation Plan was approved, by District Court, Water Division No. 5, for the entire 61.5 acre parcel. Under the approved Augmentation Plan, the owners are permitted up to 6 wells for a total of 30 single family dwellings of domestic in-house use. Although_!b.e augmentation plan was approv ed and is specific for residential uses, the owners will submit an amende d augmentation plan to District Water ou o me u e commerci al uses. Irrigation water is available for outside irrigation • requ ir ed by the commercial developmero. 2 ·j • •• f<\wik~~ r~~a-L~1'j (Although thi~rty is designated for residential use in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan, Study Areas 2 & 3, a case can be made that this 6.561 acre parcel of land is more suitable to a commercial use designation that residential. The area is topographically separated from adjoining residential land and is more aligned with the neighboring commercially zoned property. Another attribute is that this property is adjacent to Highway 6 and County Road 138 and is in close proximity to the Canyon Creek interchange to I-70 . The property is an enclave that is not visible from adjoining properties and is barely visible from the 1-70 corridor. We believe this property is more suitable for commercial use than residential use. The property is void of vegetation and is directly exposed to Highway 6. Included in this application is a drawing of the proposed Gabossi/Wagner Zone District Amendment that depicts that proposed commercial area as well as the proposed Amended Gabossi/Wagner Exemption Plat. Also included is a Garfield County Zone District Map showing the subject property and the relationship with adjacent properties. I have also attached an aerial photograph of the area showing the property and adjacent properties. This photograph shows that area proposed for commercial zoning and again, the relationship of this enclave to adjoining properties. We anticipate presenting this application to the Garfield County Planning Commission in the very near future. We appreciate your time in reviewing this land use application. If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Sincerely, John L.

MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A Referrals: This application was referred to the following agencies for review and comment: City of Rifle : Was also contacted by phone. The City did not respond to requests for comments. Garfield County Road & Bridge: See page __ . Notes that future development would necessitate road improvements to CR 210 , CR 221, and CR 223. B. Applicable State Regulations. State statutes establish standards of review for rezoning requests . The standard used to review a rezoning request depends on whether the proposed rezoning is in compliance with the comprehensive plan . If so, the proposed rezoning need only bear a reasonable relationship to the general welfare of the community. If the rezoning would be in confl ·ct with the comprehensive plan, the aQ licant geµerally needs to show either 1) that an error was made in establishingthe current zoning, or (2) that there has been a change in the conditions of the neighborhood that supports the requested zone change . 1. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan: 5 • • As noted previously, the Comprehensive Plan shows the property in question as Commercial on the Land Use Districts Map of the 2000 Garfield County Comprehensive Plan, Study Area III . Some relevant goals and policies are as follows: Commercial Goal : Garfield County will encourage the retention and expansion of convenient, viable, and compatible commercial development capable of providing a wide variety of goods and services to serve the citizens of the County. Commercial Policies : Policy 4.1 states that Commercial development will be encouraged in areas where existing infrastructure (water and wastewater facilities) are currently available. The applicant has stated (via telephone conversation with J. Barbee on 3/27/01) that they hope that wastewater will be handled by Wastewater Services, Ltd., (Cottonwood system) and that they are currently in the negotiation phase to secure such services. If Cottonwood agrees, they must obtain the proper CDPHE approvals for expansion of their system . The applicant also stated that central water is not currently available, but that future development plans may include a well field or community water system. Although the proposal seems to be in conflict with the above stated policy, it is Staffs' opinion, due to the commercial land use designation, that the rezoning request is generally compatible with the comp plan. 2. Error in Established Zoning: The property is currently zoned A/I, which is primarily an agricultural district. The existing zoning is consistent with the physical attributes of the property as it has historically been used. 3 . Change of Circumstance : No substantial change in land uses has occurred in the general area of the project since the establishment of the A/I zoning . C. Applica ble County Regulations: Little direction is provided by the County Zoning Resolution as to criteria for re-zonings. Historically, the County Commissioners have required that thret: (3) basic findings be met. These include compliance with procedural requirements of Section 10 , that the amendment is in general compliance with surrounding land uses, comp plan, and zoning, and that the amendment is in the general interest of public health, safety and welfare. 1. Procedural Requirements : The applicants have complied with the procedures as laid out in section 10 .00 of the Zoning Resolution. The Board of County 6 • • Commissioners has referred the application to the Planning Commission for review and a recommendation at a public meeting. The Board will ultimately decide whether or not to grant the request to amend the zoning at a publicly noticed hearing. If the re-zoning request is approved, the amendment shall be promptly entered on the appropriate sheet of the Zone District Map. 2. Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses : While the properties to the west and north are agricultural, County Roads 210 and 221 will create a physical barrier to the commercial use of the property and do not seem to be incompatible. Since C/G zoning already exists to the east and south, the rezoning would not seem to constitute "spot zoning". It should be noted that if the re-zoning is approved, the result will be that one of the parcels will lie in two (2) different zone districts . The exemption plat states that no further division by exemption shall be allowed on the property . The owner should be aware that in order to separately convey the 11 +/-acres to the west of CR 210, which is physically separate and would retain a different zoning designation, he must complete a full subdivision process. 3. Public Health, Safety, and Welfare : A Water/Sewer: There is a concern that central water and sewer do not currently serve the area. It should be noted that many of the uses allowed by right in the C/G zone district will be prohibited unless served by central water and/or central sewer, since ISDS can treat only domestic waste . Future development plans must either include central water and/or sewer, or clearly prohibit commercial uses by covenants and plat notes. B. Access: County roads 210 (Mile Pond), 221 (Green Lane), and 223 (Peterson Lane) were never intended or built to handle commercial traffic. To date, the C/G zoning in the area has had direct access onto State Highway 6/24. The Road and Bridge Department has noted that future development plans may be required to make proportionate improvements to these County Roads . Staff would like to clarify that currently the County has no mechanism to collect commercial impact fees . Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners may want to review the Capital Improvement Plan to determine if the road impact fees in the district need to be adjusted accordingly . IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. That all applicable regulations regarding a Zone District Amendment have been complied with including , but not limited to, Section 10 .00 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended . 7 . . • • 2. That the public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts , matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at said meeting. 3. That the proposed zoning is in general compliance with surrounding land uses, comprehensive plan, and zoning in Garfield County. 4. That the proposed zoning is in the best interests of the public health , safety and welfare of citizens of Garfield County . V. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommended the Board of County Commissioners APPROVE the application for a zone district amendment from A/I to C/G, and further recommended the BOCC review and possibl y amend the Capital Improvement Plan, as necessary. 8
