Executive Summary
Planning Commission considered this proposal on August 24th and voted 6-0 to recommend approval (Attachment C).
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 Ranch Development Company is proposing a Site Development Plan (SDP) for 140 single-family detached units and 2.5 acres of open space and landscape tracts (Attachment B, Exhibit 1). A soft surface trail will connect to the Crystal Valley trail system.
The Crystal Valley Ranch Planned Development (PD) allows this property to be developed as single-family detached, townhome or apartment housing types, with densities of 6, 12 and 24 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), respectively. This SDP complies with the Crystal Valley Ranch PD use and development standards for single-family detached uses. All staff comments have been addressed through the review process.
Budget Impact
Development of the property with 140 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, Planning Commission and staff recommend approval.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the resolution as introduced by title.
