Welcome to the Town of Castle Rock! Our Town has a stunning natural environment. Castle Rock’s ridges, valleys, natural vegetation, open spaces and spectacular views of the Colorado Rocky Mountains amplify the visual experience into a perfect community backdrop.
The Comprehensive Master Plan then gets more specific. The plan establishes goals to enrich the fabric of our community and help us achieve our Vision: • Achieve a quality-built environment
Incorporated in 1881, Castle Rock is a vibrant and spirited community with a rich history and heritage. Our community theme is “a world-class community with small-Town character.” Today, planners work to
• Protect and enhance the natural environment
ensure this theme remains central to a growing community. In that effort, this Vision and Comprehensive Master Plan you are about to read chart the course for the built environment to enhance Castle Rock’s natural environment and achieve our community theme. Throughout this document you will see a focus on character because we believe character defines a community. First, the Vision outlines the building blocks of our community through use of Four Cornerstones: Distinct Town Identity, Responsible Growth, Community Services and Thriving Economy. Each of the cornerstones provides guidance to the community and its decision-makers.
• Plan for and act to manage the impacts of growth • Focus on quality development and seek out and encourage great projects • Achieve a high level of effective public outreach, notification, and community involvement • Ensure quality community services to support public health, safety and welfare • Maintain a high quality of life for the residents and businesses • Achieve and maintain water conservation and long-term water resource programs • Achieve capable surface transportation systems, and plan for multimodal opportunities • Create a regulatory environment based upon goals, values and fairness; all to assist with economic development These goals and specific action items guide us every day as we make decisions on land use applications, annexation proposals and draft development plans. We believe the policies, programs, goals and themes defined in the Vision and Comprehensive Master Plan ensure success for future generations.

Distinct Town Identity
Castle Rock: The Beginning “At the bend of Plum Creek stands a large, flat-topped, round rock resting on a pyramid-shaped base. It is an isolated part of the original rock formation, the softer part below being worn away. We find a crevice through which we climb to the top, fire off our guns and christen the place “Castle Rock,” thinking we are the first to give it a name.”
The local Denver newspaper described the election: “Douglas County did the right thing in voting to locate her county seat at Castle Rock. It is one of the most picturesque points in the whole territory adding to the charms of natural scenery a property geographical location with all the surroundings necessary to make a thriving, attractive town.”
That journal log, written by David Kellogg on Christmas Eve 1858, is perhaps one of several namings of the prominent geological feature after which the Town of Castle Rock is named. Beyond the signature rock, it was constantly flowing water sources, railroad connections and mining opportunities that kick-started settlement in Castle Rock. Commerce led to pioneer settlement, and settlement lead to governance.
The namesake rock provided the landmark location for the Town. Ranching, the railroad, clay mines, and rhyolite quarries formed the basis for Castle Rock’s early economy. The Town’s physical setting creates a natural shape and identity. Steeply sloping terrain, buttes, and ridgelines surround the Town, rising 300 to 800 feet above the 6,200-foot average elevation. Creeks and gulches meander through the many drainage basins and Ponderosa Pine and scrub oak cover the landscape. Panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains extend from Pike’s Peak north to Long’s Peak. Residents and business owners choose Castle Rock for its community identity, small-town character, and natural scenic beauty.
In 1874, the citizens of Douglas County voted Castle Rock as the newly formed County seat. They recognized that Franktown was no longer the center of the larger Douglas County.

Purpose of the Comprehensive Plan In Castle Rock, our history is part of who we are. That’s why we also look toward the future. This Comprehensive Master Plan update reinforces the long-term vision the community established more than two decades ago to do the following: • Provide a policy framework for creation of corridor studies and area plans reflecting the community character and future growth potential
CRgov.com/CompPlan
• Bring together a series of community-development related policy documents including: Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Water Facilities Master Plans Historic Preservation Plan Water Conservation Master Plan Transportation Master Plan Southwest Quadrant Plan, Downtown Plan of Development and Wolfsenberger Road Area Plan Downtown Overlay Zone and Wolfensberger Overlay Zone Stormwater Master Plan Find all these plans on CRgov.com • Address future challenges and opportunities, along with mobilize assets in a coordinated and comprehensive manner

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
About the 2030 update In March 1999, Town Council appointed a Vision Committee of residents, business owners and community participants to create the Town’s Vision for 2020 and beyond. With assistance from the Community Development Department and an independent planning consultant, the Vision Committee solicited broad input on the Town’s future through an extensive public participation program. The result of this effort, “Our Legacy, Our Future: Vision 2020,” has served as the Town’s collective concept of what it wants to become in the future. It declares Castle Rock’s common goals, which guide Town decisions, unite the community with a common purpose and motivate residents and leaders to meet the Vision’s goals. 16

The Town’s 2020 Vision and Comprehensive Master Plan were adopted in 2000 and amended in 2002. While the plans have served the Town well – and much of the policy framework established in 2000 and 2002 remains valid – it’s time to strategically look further, to 2030 and beyond. The Town initiated the process of updating the 2020 Comprehensive Master Plan with key objectives in mind: • Adopting a plan that clearly defines the Town Vision and Community Planning policies, goals and themes for 2030 and beyond • Adopting a plan that clearly defines a three-mile area plan in accordance with State Statute that protects the Town’s boundary • Preparing a plan that provides Townwide goals and policies, followed by implementation of a series of area plans to reflect the diversity of our community and the variety of environmental, topographical and unique neighborhood characteristics • Building on input provided by the community as part of the Vision 2030 update process • Creating a plan that is user-friendly and relevant to a variety of audiences • Preparing a plan that represents the culmination of numerous community outreach efforts conducted by the Town between 2013 and 2017, including the 2013 and 2015 Community Surveys, Vision Report Card and Vision 2030 update

Four Cornerstones confirmed
Similar to the original process, the Town established a strategic effort to update the Vision and provide guidance for development of the 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan update. The Town created a community participant team to provide input on the Town’s progress toward the implementation of the Vision 2020 and to identify updated goals for consideration in the 2030 Vision and Comprehensive Plan. Through this process, community members confirmed that, while most of the vision’s goals were still valid, refinements were needed to update and align the document with the community’s vision going forward. The Vision 2030 and Four Cornerstones noted herein represent what is most important to the Castle Rock community. The Four Cornerstones draw heavily upon earlier Town visioning efforts, yet reflect the perspective of a community that is rapidly growing and evolving over time. Together, the Four Cornerstones are intended to serve as resources for all Castle Rock leaders, residents and businesses and to guide the Town’s day-to-day planning and decision-making.
How is this draft different from the 2020 Comprehensive Master Plan? Public input and community surveys confirm the Vision 2020 and existing Comprehensive Master Plan goals and themes remain viable and should be carried forward with minor adjustments. Based upon work completed by the working group, Board and Commission input, staff input and advice from the professional consultant team, proposed adjustments include: • Updating the 2030 Vision and Four Cornerstones to reflect community input received as part of the public process • Reorganizing existing plan policies to align with the updated Four Cornerstones: Distinct Town Identity, Responsible Growth, Community Services and Thriving Economy • Creating corridor and area plans to support future growth • Consolidating repetitive policies in the existing plan • Updating technical language to remove outdated policies and reflect Town plans and priorities • Implementating goals aligned with the Four Cornerstones • Incorporating a three-mile area plan into this document • Requiring renewable water resources to be secured that are not enclaves or minor infills

Who was involved in the update process? The plan update draws heavily on input received as part of the Vision 2030 update process conducted through a series of online surveys and community meetings, as well as the results of the 2013 and 2015 Community Survey conducted by the Town. The Plan includes input from the Community Review Team, which consists of representatives from the Planning Commission, various Town Boards and Commissions, residents and representatives from the development community.
Legislative Authority The Colorado Revised Statutes give the authority and responsibility to municipalities to “make and adopt a master plan for the physical development of the municipality” (C.R.S. §31-23-206). The statute further states, “the plan shall be made with the general purpose of guiding and accomplishing a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development of the municipality and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs, best promote health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare” (C.R.S. §31-23-207).

Creation of Area Plans will assist with clearly defining the need for annexation. Annexation requests must take into consideration the following items:
2.1a - Is a logical extension or infill of Town boundaries. The pattern of proposed growth extends outward from the existing Town limits in an appropriately phased manner.
2.1b - Has demonstrated a significant benefit to the Town.
Tangible and intangible benefits may include: sales tax generation, employment base expansion, surplus water rights acquisition, public transportation opportunities, logical infill of properties already surrounded – or partially surrounded – by the Town boundary, unique open space or recreation amenities for the Town, housing opportunities for the elderly or other special populations, and utility or service upgrades of benefit to other areas of the Town.
2.1c - Will be provided with adequate urban services
Services must be capable of being integrated into the Town’s existing or planned utilities, renewable water resources, transportation, public safety, parks and recreation and general services systems in a financially responsible manner. Discourage urban development in areas outside Town boundaries that would require Town-financed capital improvements and/or urban service extensions unless a compelling benefit to the Town can be demonstrated.
2.1d - Is fiscally responsible.
The fiscal impacts of extending and providing Town services over the life of the development should be weighed against the anticipated tax and other revenues generated from the proposed development. Infrastructure improvements should not be planned, constructed or funded in a manner that will impose an unreasonable level of public or private debt, relative to realistic build-out as based upon demographic and growth projections annually approved by the Town, or under terms which exceed the life cycle of the improvement(s).
The proportionate costs of all on- and off-site capital improvements needed to accommodate proposed development should be absorbed by the development. Phasing plans are required to mitigate service impacts to the Town. If necessary to offset service costs until an adequate tax base is in place, the developer is required to provide service fees and/or facility maintenance subsidies.

The designations take into account current land use patterns, current zoning, the availability of public utilities, water use intensity, impacts to water rights, availability of renewable water resources and sur f ace transportation networks. The underlying assumption of the Land Use Plan Map is that most areas of the community can, and should, accommodate a mix of compatible land uses and activities.

Primary Uses: All residential development, including,
Primary Uses: Vary by location, but may include
but not limited to, single family detached; single family attached e.g. duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes; and, multi-family development.
Supporting Uses: Neighborhood commercial
centers, small offices, parks and recreational facilities, open space, schools, fire and police stations, water storage facilities, government offices, hospitals and places of worship.
Characteristics of the Residential Neighborhoods: Intended to create opportunities for a mix of housing options for Castle Rock residents.
Predominantly residential in character; however, a full range of services and amenities such as schools, parks or other recreation facilities, open space and community centers or neighborhood shopping is encouraged to promote vibrant, livable and self-supporting neighborhoods that allow residents to walk or bicycle to meet many of their daily needs. Includes areas planned for future residential development that are currently part of Douglas County but that would likely be annexed at the time of development.
a broad range of land uses with greater intensity than Residential Neighborhood Areas, including, but not limited to: Regional, neighborhood/ community and town centers; freestanding office or industrial, office or industrial parks; and multi-family residential.
Supporting Uses: Single family attached or detached
residential, parks and recreational facilities, open space, schools, fire and police stations, water storage facilities, public works equipment, government offices, hospitals, places of worship and transit facilities.
Neighborhood/ Community Retail Centers: Varies in size depending on location and intended market radius. Typically include a supermarket and drug store, offices, entertainment facilities and some residences.
Town Centers: Typically feature a mix of offices, shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and entertainment in a pedestrian-friendly setting. May also include public open spaces suitable for hosting outdoor events.
Characteristics of Mixed Use Areas:
Mixed use areas should be designed to support walking, bicycling and access to existing/planned transit service and to incorporate opportunities for public gathering spaces.
Intended to accommodate a complementary mix of land uses more intensive than the residential neighborhoods. Includes opportunities for both Greenfield development and infill/redevelopment.
Transitions between two different land use types with differing intensities are encouraged to protect individual properties from a use that could impose adverse impacts. For example, the use of less intensive uses, such as low/ medium density residential, could be used to provide a transition between established residential neighborhoods and more intense mixed use areas.
Generally located at interstate interchanges, along the interstate corridor, or centrally located within the larger master planned communities.
Centrally located in areas with higher levels of public services and vehicular access. Provides opportunities for three types of commercial centers, based on location and access considerations:
Includes areas planned for mixed use that are currently part of Douglas County, but that would likely be annexed at the time of development.
Regional Centers: Typically more than 500,000
square feet in size and include a large retail center, office, services, entertainment and lodging facilities.

Functions as a destination and community gathering place for the Town and surrounding region and is home to many community events. Contains a mixture of historic buildings and newer retail, office and residential uses. The continuation of a mix of moderately intensive residential, retail and office uses is encouraged through the adaptive reuse of existing structures and through targeted infill and redevelopment. The mixture of these uses will support continued vitality. Designated as an Urban Center as part of the Metro Vision 2035 Regional Plan; intended to accommodate future transit.

The 3-Mile Boundary map depicts the three miles in all directions from the Town’s municipal limits that may potentially be annexed. With any future annexations to the Town and other municipalities, this boundary is subject to change. The boundary also includes other incorporated areas, such as the City of Castle Pines and the Town of Parker. Adjacent to the southern boundary along I-25 is the Town of Larkspur. Obviously, these areas cannot be annexed into the Town of Castle Rock. Additionally, the Town of Castle Rock’s three-mile area overlaps with those other municipalities’ three-mile boundaries. Therefore, a property within overlapping three-mile areas that is contiguous to two different municipalities can choose to annex into one of those municipalities.

This Comprehensive Master Plan and associated maps, along with the 3-mile Boundary map (right), serve as the Town of Castle Rock’s compliance with Section 31-12-105 (1)(e) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, Municipal Annexation Act of 1965.

2030 COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN
Because of the natural terrain and historical development of the Town, Castle Rock includes several different character areas. These areas basically developed from the original concept of planned unit developments, creating smaller villages within the Town. For simplicity, the character areas are defined by their general geographical part of Town. Further exploration into these smaller character areas will be examined in future character area plans. The intention of these plans is to better define the essence of that area and identify strategies to help the area grow while still maintaining its identity.

While we desire to remain known not as a suburb of a larger metropolitan area but as our own, distinct town, care needs to be taken to not isolate our commerce and job opportunities within the larger region. Therefore, identifying main corridors and future buffers to add to our existing open spaces will help to maintain our unique character. The corridors not only offer greater connectivity for our residents, but they also encourage economic vitality to the Town. The future potential open space that add to our existing open space on our Town’s edges will further help to maintain the Town’s buffers to adjacent communities.
