Title
Ordinance Vacating Certain Right-Of-Way Located within the Northwest 1/4 of Section 11, Township 8 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Town of Castle Rock, County of Douglas, State of Colorado (Second Reading - Approved on First Reading on October 21, 2025, by a vote 7-0) (0.42 acres located west of Prairie Hawk Drive and south of Topeka Way]
Body

Executive Summary
Confluence Companies is proposing construction of the Brickyard mixed-use development located west of Prairie Hawk Drive and south of Topeka Way (Figure 1 and Attachment A). Town Council approved the Brickyard Planned Development and Zoning Regulations in February, 2025 and the Site Development Plan on October 7, 2025.
Upon the completion of the property line survey for the project, it was determined that the Prairie Hawk Drive right-of-way (ROW) was not uniform along the Brickyard frontage. In order to construct the building, parking garage and detention pond in Planning Area 3, as designed, Confluence Companies is requesting vacation of a portion of Prairie Hawk Drive ROW (Figure 2 and Attachment D).
Staff recommends approval of the Right-Of-Way Vacation request (Attachments B and C).
Findings
Staff finds that the proposed vacation of the 0.42 acre subject parcel meets the guidelines and requirements of:
• Colorado Revised Statute 43.2.303
• Castle Rock Municipal Code Section 16.12.010
• Town Vision and Comprehensive Master Plan
• Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
• The Brickyard Development Agreement
Budget Impact
Right-of-way does not generate impact fees and revenue. If vacated, and zoned mixed-use within the Brickyard PD, the proposed ROW vacation has the potential to generate impact fee and sales tax revenues in the future as part of the overall Brickyard development.
Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings outlined in this report, staff recommends that the Town Council approve this ROW vacation.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve the Ordinance as introduce by title.”
