Title
Ordinance Amending the Town of Castle Rock’s Zone District Map by Approving the 826 Park Street and 200 Wolfensberger Road Planned Development Plan and Zoning Regulations (First Reading)
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Castle Oaks Evangelical Covenant Church, Wellspring Community, and Unity on Wolfensberger are proposing to rezone the Castle Oaks Evangelical Covenant Church and existing Quality Inn site to a new Planned Development Plan Zoning. The applicant proposes to zone the property as a planned development (PD), and is seeking approval of the 826 Park Street Expansion & 200 Wolfensberger Road Planned Development Plan and Zoning Regulations (Attachment B).
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission voted 7 - 0 to recommend approval to Town Council of the 826 Park Street Expansion & 200 Wolfensberger Road Planned Development Plan at a public hearing held on April 24, 2025.
Budget Impact
The proposed Planned Development Plan on it’s own does not have a budget impact on the Town. Wellspring Community has submitted a separate request for a fee waiver for the conversion of the Quality Inn to an I/DD/multi-family facility. Town code provides for development impact fee (§3.16.050) and system development fee (§13.12.080J) reductions of up to 100 percent for attainable housing projects. Per code, “A qualifying attainable housing project and unit shall be defined as a housing project or unit participating in an attainable or affordable housing program through the Douglas County Housing Partnership, Colorado Housing Finance Authority or other certified local, state or federal attainable housing program.” Waivers of this type require Town Council approval, which is scheduled to be heard the same night as the rezoning.
Staff Recommendation
