Executive Summary
Town Council heard this application at the June 6, 2017, public hearing and approved the annexation and PD zoning on first reading.
When a property is approved for annexation into the Town, it is also necessary to zone the parcel. Zoning may be a straight zone request, representing a permitted use within an existing Town zone designation or a planned development zone designation. Planned Development zoning is an optional negotiated zoning specific to a Planned Development Plan that outlines standards of development and the provisions for public and private infrastructure to support the development.
Originally, in the case of Calvary Chapel Castle Rock, a Business/Commercial (B) zoning designation was requested. Due to neighborhood objections to the B zone Calvary Chapel withdrew the B zone request and resubmitted for a Planned Development Plan (PD) (EXHIBITS 2 - 3). The PD will specifically allow only a church use. Under the existing Douglas County jurisdiction, the site is zoned Rural Residential.
On April 27, 2017, the Planning Commission heard the proposal for PD zoning for the Calvary Chapel. One citizen spoke in favor of the PD zoning. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the PD zoning to Town Council.
The PD zoning will be applicable to the 5.4 ± acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Fifth Street and Woodlands Boulevard. The proposed PD zoning, with the allowable use of a church, is well-suited for the location at the intersection of two arterial streets. The zone district is compatible with existing development on adjacent properties and measures will be taken within the Site Development Review process to mitigate any incompatibility as the parcel is subject to the Residential/Nonresidential Interface regulations.
The Castle Rock 2020 Comprehensive Master Plan land use plan map designates the subject property as Unincorporated Future Residential Neighborhood which includes churches as a general preferred land use category within that plan area.
Budget Impact
The proposed zoning will generate review fees. Other site development impact fees will offset costs to the Town of Castle Rock at a later date.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings outlined in this report, the Planning Commission and staff recommends approval of the proposed Calvary Chapel Castle Rock zoning.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve this Ordinance as introduced by title, second reading.
