Castle Rock Publishes Notice Calendar With Sports Center Event, Public Hearings

Castle Rock's official public-notice calendar listed a sports center topping-off ceremony alongside a dense slate of public hearings and legislative action when Town Council convened May 20, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.

The most consequential development item on the agenda was a discussion and overview of the Brickyard and Sports Development Center process, listed as ID 2025-066. That conversation coincided with a first reading of ORD 2025-019, an ordinance that would amend Chapter 3.04, Article I of the Castle Rock Municipal Code to create a town sales tax credit against certain public improvement fees paid at Brickyard. The Brickyard project also drove the council's recess into a Castle Rock Urban Renewal Authority meeting, where members took up three items: approval of the authority's October 15, 2024 minutes, a resolution designating the public place for posting URA meeting notices under Colorado Open Meetings Law, and URA RESO 2025-002, which would approve tax increment revenue agreements between the authority and each taxing entity whose incremental property tax revenues would be allocated under the proposed Brickyard Urban Renewal plan.

Beyond Brickyard, the council's agenda carried a 533.445-acre annexation under ORD 2025-016, covering land in parts of Sections 34, 35, and 36 of Township 8 South, Range 67 West, along with part of Section 1 of the same township and range. A separate resolution, RES 2025-062, sought approval of a site development plan for single-family residential development within the Dawson Trails Planned Development, specifically Filing No. 2, Tracts O and H, covering 53.27 acres south of Territorial Road.

The council also took up RES 2025-060, a resolution in support of Douglas County's Home Rule Initiative, a measure that would give the county greater legislative autonomy under Colorado law.

On the ceremonial side, two proclamations approved by a 6-0 vote on May 6, 2025, were presented at the meeting: PROC 2025-007 designating National Public Works Week and PROC 2025-008 declaring June 2025 as Ducky Derby Month. The council also acted on APPT 2025-003, covering appointments to town boards and commissions.

Town Manager agenda items included ID 2025-061, a calendar reminders update, and ID 2025-063, covering changes to the Castle Rock Water Chase Drain Policy. The full council meeting was available via streaming video through the town's Granicus platform.
