Title
Site Development Plan for Lot 1A, Block 10, The Meadows Filing No. 20, Phase 1, Amendment No. 15 [Multi-Family Apartments; Southeast of North Meadows Drive and Elegant Street]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Site Development Plan (SDP) proposal is for a new 204 unit multi-family, market-rate apartment development with private amenities to include a pet park, car and pet wash, clubhouse and pool (Attachment B). The project is called The Springs at Castle Rock.
The Meadows is a master planned subdivision 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. The Meadows has gone through several rezonings over the years. The current PD zoning, approved in 2003, allows a maximum of 10,644 dwelling units; to date approximately 6,084 units have been approved or constructed in The Meadows. This site plan is proposed on property within the Meadows Town Center use area, where a mix of uses, such as single-family, multi-family, commercial and office, are permitted.
The purpose of this report is to seek Planning Commission recommendation on the proposed Site Development Plan. This proposal is in conformance with the approved zoning and Town criteria. Staff comments have been addressed through the review process. Staff recommends that Planning Commission recommend approval.
Budget Impact
Development of the property will generate review and impact fees, along with use taxes for multi-family developments. Other ongoing cost of serving a new neighborhood, in terms of public infrastructure and services, will be comparable to other residential developments in Castle Rock.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings summarized in this report, staff recommends that Planning Commission recommend to Town Council approval of the proposed SDP.
Proposed Motion
I move to recommend to Town Council approval of the Site Development Plan for Lot 1A, Block 10, Meadows Filing No. 20, Phase 1, Amendment No. 15.
