It is rapidly developing into residential subdivi- <br />sions although several farms continue to operate. The present <br />market value of raw land varies from $1000 to $2500 per acre. <br />Obviously, the value of produce from these remaining farms does <br />not justify such values. New construction shows the highest <br />value, the largest residences and the most rapid rate of expan- <br />sion of and area considered. <br /> <br />Zoning regulations within the most populated areas have <br />been in effect for many years and, being quite restrictive, <br />have influenced the size and value of residential construction. <br />Restrictions have also prevented the construction of business <br />and commercial establishments. <br /> <br />A primary factor which has encouraged residential develop- <br />ment in the northern part of this area has been the construc- <br />tion of the Sunset Terrace and Bookcliff Mutual Pipeline <br />systems. These systems are equipped with booster pumps which <br />permit them to serve these higher lands that are beyond the <br />reach of the older systems. <br /> <br />The fact that residential development has by-passed a <br />relatively large undeveloped area immediately north of Grand <br />Junction is significant and makes the possibility of annexa- <br />tion to the City, in the near future, very remote. Other <br />factors such as elevation, the existence of natural barriers <br />and the large estate type developments make the economics of <br />annexation very poor. Another extremely important factor is <br />that most of the people have moved from the city as a matter <br />of choice. Available building sites of sufficient size and <br />in good residential areas within the city are virtually non- <br />existant. The same conditions also apply to areas contiguous <br />with the city boundaries. <br /> <br />Most of this area is not subject to annexation in the <br />forseeable future. <br /> <br />Area No. II: <br /> <br />Area No. II, classified as the Grand Junction fringe <br />area north and west of Grand Junction by the Mesa Oounty <br /> <br />- 6 - <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />.;;.!,~,:... <br /> <br />,J,- <br /> <br />,.<.... <br />
