Executive Summary
Planning Commission considered this proposal at a public hearing on October 10, 2019, and voted ____ to recommend ___ (Attachment C).
Crystal Valley Ranch is a master planned subdivision located in the southeast portion of the Town of Castle Rock and is zoned for 3,475 dwelling units. To date, approximately 1,325 single-family residential lots have been platted and received certificates of occupancy. There are no multi-family developments within Crystal Valley Ranch. The subject property is zoned to allow up to four acres of commercial development and a maximum of 171 residential dwelling units, to include multi-family and single-family housing types.
This Site Development Plan (SDP) proposes a new neighborhood of 90 single-family detached homes on approximately 25 acres (Attachment B, Exhibit 1). Approximately three acres are designated as private open space. A four-acre tract is set aside as a future neighborhood commercial site.
