Title: A Resolution Approving the Plum Creek Ridge at Castle Rock Site Development Plan, Amendment No. 1
Executive Summary
On July 14, 2016 the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval to Town Council of the Plum Creek Ridge at Castle Rock Site Development Plan, Amendment No.1.
Plum Creek Ridge at Castle Rock is a small residential subdivision cupped between E. Plum Creek Parkway and S. Gilbert Street and adjacent to Sellers Gulch. The neighborhood was originally conceptualized in 2013 with plans to bring single-family and multi-family residential housing options to the Town of Castle Rock while protecting the gulch and the natural landscape of the area. In 2015 plans for the single-family housing portion of the neighborhood were approved and now plans for the multi-family housing portion are coming to fruition.
Plum Creek Associates LLC is proposing a Site Development Plan (SDP) for 45 townhome units and 1.98 acres of open space which represents Phase II of the Plum Creek Ridge at Castle Rock residential development. The proposed townhomes, if approved, will continue to provide a myriad of housing choices for the residents of Castle Rock. SDPs for residential use must be reviewed and approved by Town Council.
Budget Impact
The proposed Site Development Plan will generate review and impact fees, along with property taxes.
