Castle Rock Town Council to weigh multiple annexation ordinances March 3

Castle Rock Town Council on March 3 weighed a slate of annexation and rezoning items, most prominently the Territorial Road annexation covering multiple parcels totaling 4.7 acres and a first reading for Dawson Trails Planned Development, Amendment No. 3. The Territorial Road parcels lie within the Territorial Road right-of-way and are described in town records as adjacent to the Dawson Trails Planned Development and the Twin Oaks subdivision in Douglas County.

The Territorial Road petition appears in Legistar as RES 2025-070, a resolution that was created May 2, 2025 and approved June 3, 2025. RES 2025-070 found the petition submitted by ACM Dawson Trails VIII JV, LLC and the Town of Castle Rock to be in substantial compliance with Article II, Section 30(1)(B) of the Colorado Constitution and Section 31-12-107(1), C.R.S., and set a hearing date of July 15, 2025. Castle Rock’s public hearing calendar, however, lists the Territorial Road proposed annexation as a March 3, 2026 Town Council public hearing (Crgov ID 70); the materials provided do not state whether the July 15, 2025 hearing occurred or was continued.

Dawson Trails-related items also appeared across town records. Granicus and Legistar materials include a separate site development plan resolution (RES 2025-062) for Dawson Trails Filing No. 2, Tracts O and H covering 53.27 acres, described as located south of Territorial Road and west of [truncated text in source]. RES 2025-070 notes that some parcels owned by ACM Dawson Trails were excluded from the 2022 Dawson Trails rezoning and are implicated in current annexation efforts; the March 3 docket lists “Dawson Trails Planned Development, Amendment No. 3” as a public hearing entry (Crgov ID 70).

Other items on the March 3 hearing list included Meadows Medical Planned Development (ID 53) as a proposed rezoning and an eligibility public hearing for St. Francis of Assisi proposed annexation (ID 59). Crgov also shows a Bella Mesa South Townhomes proposed site development plan scheduled March 24, 2026 (ID 69). Separate Granicus records from 2025 contain a large-scale annexation ordinance (ORD 2025-016) that references 533.445 acres; that ordinance appeared on a May 20, 2025 Council agenda and is part of the broader set of annexation actions referenced in town materials.

The Original Report that accompanied the March 3 “Agenda - Final” also listed a wildfire resiliency code and a new fire station contract on the council docket. The Granicus and Crgov extracts supplied here do not include file numbers, staff memos, ordinance or resolution numbers, contract amounts, or vendor names for those two items, so those specifics remain absent from the posted extracts.

Town staff and officials tied to the annexation records include Town Manager David L. Corliss and Development Services staff Tara Vargish, PE, Director, and Sandy Vossler, Senior Planner. Castle Rock’s website notes agenda packets are updated approximately five days prior to each meeting; the town’s municipal offices are at 100 N. Wilcox St., Castle Rock, CO 80104, and the town phone is 720-896-8696. The March 3 docket grouped small, 4.7-acre Territorial Road parcels with larger Dawson Trails filings and earlier 533.445-acre annexation material, underscoring the range of annexation scales facing Council this season.
