Title: Resolution Approving the Crystal Valley Ranch Filing No. 17 Site Development Plan [Single-Family; SE Corner of West Loop Road / Fox Haven Drive] (Town of Castle Rock Project #SDP17-0003)
Executive Summary
Crystal Valley Ranch is a master planned subdivision located in the southeast portion of the Town of Castle Rock. It is planned for a maximum of 3,475 dwelling units. To date, approximately 1,300 lots have been platted. Crystal Valley Development Company is proposing a Site Development Plan (SDP) for 120 single-family detached units and 1.9 acres of open space and landscape tracts (Attachment B). Amenities will include a neighborhood park and trail connections to the Crystal Valley trail systems and the Pinnacle Recreation Center.
The proposed use and density are permitted by the Crystal Valley Ranch Planned Development (PD) zoning. All staff comments have been addressed through the review process.
Staff recommends approval of this SDP. Planning Commission will hear this application on July 27th. Staff will update Town Council on the Planning Commission recommendation at the Council public hearing.
Budget Impact
Development of the property with 120 single-family lots will generate review and impact fees, along with use taxes. Other ongoing costs of serving a new neighborhood, in terms of public infrastructure and amenities, as well as police and fire, will be comparable to other single-family residential developments in Castle Rock.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings summarized in this report, staff recommends approval of the proposed SDP.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the resolution as introduced by title.
