Executive Summary
Planning Commission considered this proposal on September 28th and voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval (Attachment C). There was no public comment.
The Meadows is a master planned community located in the northwest portion of the Town of Castle Rock. The original Meadows Planned Development (PD) was approved in 1984 and allowed a maximum of 14,000 dwelling units. Since that time, the Meadows has gone through several rezonings. The current zoning, approved in 2003 allows a maximum of 10,644 dwelling units. To date approximately 6,007 units have received Certificates of Occupancy.
This property proposed for development is within the Town Center use area, which allows single-family [attached and detached], townhomes and apartment type residential units. The property was originally site planned in 2004 as a single lot allowing a maximum of 24 multi-family dwelling units. Castle Rock Development Company is proposing a Site Development Plan amendment to create 11 lots for single-family detached development (Attachment B, Exhibit 1).
This SDP complies with the Meadows Planned Development (PD) development standards for single-family detached uses, as well as the Town’s review and approval criteria and technical requirements. All staff comments have been addressed through the review process. Staff recommends that Planning Commission recommend approval.
Budget Impact
Development of the property with 11 single-family lots will generate review and impact fees, along with use taxes. Other ongoing costs of serving a new neighborhood, in terms of public infrastructure and amenities, as well as police and fire, will be comparable to other single-family residential developments in Castle Rock.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings summarized in this report, Planning Commission and staff recommend approval.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the resolution as introduced by title.
