Title: Resolution Approving the Meadows Filing 16, Parcel 6 Superblock and Parcel 7 Site Development Plan, Amendment No. 10 [Single-Family Detached Homes; North of Wolfensberger Road / Coachline Road Intersection] (Town of Castle Rock Project SDP18-0057)
Executive Summary
Planning Commission considered this proposal on August 22, 2019 and voted 5-0 to recommend approval (Attachment D).
The Meadows Filing No.16 site plan was approved in 2004 and included Parcels 1 through 8. This proposed Site Development Plan (SDP) amendment applies to a portion of Parcel 6 and all of Parcel 7, which are located east, and west of Coachline Road at the intersection with Wolfensberger Road.
This SDP amendment proposes a new neighborhood of 57 single-family detached dwelling units on 38.6 acres. Approximately 75% of the total site area will be set aside as open space (Attachment B). The area of development in Parcel 7 is reduced leaving additional open space undisturbed.
The Meadows Planned Development (PD) was approved in 1984 and has gone through several rezonings. The current PD zoning was approved in 2003. Per the PD Plan, Parcels 6 and 7 are within Use Area D that allows up to 1,467 dwelling units (Attachment C). To date, 1,309 units have been constructed in Use Area D. If this site plan is approved, the total number of dwelling units in Use Area D will be 1,425; still below the maximum permitted under the current zoning.
Budget Impact
Development of the property will generate review and impact fees, along with use taxes for residential development. Other ongoing costs of serving a new neighborhood, in terms of public infrastructure and services, the project will be comparable to other residential developments in Castle Rock.
Planning Commission Action
Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 22, 2019 to consider the proposed Site Development Plan Amendment. No members of the public addressed the Commission. The Planning Commission asked general questions about the location of the EVA and maintenance responsibilities for the detention pond. The Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the SDP amendment, as proposed (Attachment E).
Planning Commission Findings and Recommendation
Planning Commission found that the proposed site plan amendment
• Supports the objectives of the Town Vision and the Comprehensive Master Plan,
• Complies with the requirements of the Meadows Preliminary PD Site Plan, Amendment No. 4 and PD Zoning Regulations, and
• Complies with the review and approval criteria of the Municipal Code, Chapter 17.38 - Site Development Plan Amendment
Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend to Town Council approval of the Site Development Plan Amendment, as proposed.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve the Resolution, as introduced by title.”
