Title: Resolution: Approving the Site Development Plan for the Proposed Terrain Filing No. 2
NOTE: Please refer to the staff report for graphics and photos.
Executive Summary
The proposed SDP includes approximately 60 acres and is located within the Terrain community. The application proposes 155 single family detached homes within approximately 21 acres while leaving about 55% of the site for open space. This residential development is the implementation of the next planned phase within the Terrain community.
The Planning Commission recommends 6-0-0 to approve the Terrain filing 1 SDP with the recommended variances requested by the developer at the meeting. Thus, the Planning Commission recommendation is to approve staff recommendation for approval with the developer request to have no walkways on either side of Rocky View Road and no lighting along this more rural section of the road.
Budget Impact
The proposed SPD Plan will generate review and impact fees, along with use taxes. Other ongoing costs to serve neighborhood in terms of public infrastructure and amenities, as well as police and fire, will be comparable to other residential developments in Castle Rock.
Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings outlined in this report, the Planning Commission recommends approval of the proposed SDP.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve A Resolution Approving the Site Development Plan for the Proposed Terrain Filing No. 2.
