Executive Summary
PCS Group, on behalf of Hines, is seeking approval of a residential Site Development Plan (SDP) called Canyons Far South (Attachment B). The development site is 409 acres. The general location is southeast of the intersection of Crowfoot Valley Road and Founders Parkway (Figure 1 and Attachment A).
The SDP proposes 439 single-family detached residential units and 76 paired units for a total of 515 residential units. A total of 12.5 acres of commercial and over 220 acres of open space is proposed. The site plan also includes off-site improvements including a long portion of new sidewalk along Founder’s Parkway from the Terrain neighborhood to west of the Core Substation, critical road connections into Macanta to the north and Castle Oaks Drive to the east, and regional stormwater improvements north of the property in unincorporated Douglas County. Trail improvements are proposed throughout the development, including through the 47.7-acre property owned by the Town of Castle Rock.
