Title
Ordinance Annexing to the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado, Multiple Parcels of Land Totaling 4.696 Acres Located in Douglas County, Colorado, Pursuant to a Petition for Annexation Submitted by ACM Dawson Trails VIII JV LLC and the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado; and Providing for the Emergency Adoption of this Ordinance on First and Final Reading [4.7 acres, located west of Interstate 25 and south and west of Crystal Valley Interchange]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Town of Castle Rock (Town) and ACM Dawson Trails VIII JV LLC (ACM Dawson Trails) propose to annex 4.7 acres consisting of parcels that comprise the Territorial Road right-of-way (ROW) and other parcels acquired by the Town for future right-of-way (Attachment A and Figure 1).
With the alignment and construction of the Crystal Valley Interchange (CVI) and realignment of the west frontage road, most of the Territorial Road right-of-way is no longer needed. In November 2023, the Town exchanged certain Territorial Road parcels with ACM Dawson Trails, for property necessary for the CVI alignment. All the parcels in the annexation area will be zoned Planned Development (PD) within Dawson Trails. The parcels owned by the Town will be designated as public land that allows for public right-of-way (ROW) and public facilities. The parcels owned by ACM Dawson Trails will be incorporated into the adjacent planning area as established in the Dawson Trails PD.
Planning Commission held public hearing on February 12, 2026 at which they voted 6-0 to recommend approval to Town Council. Town Council is being asked to approve the annexation and adopt the ordinance on Emergency (Attachment B).

The annexation of the property will not negatively impact the Town’s budget.
