Castle Rock Town Council approves affordable housing development resolution

The Castle Rock Town Council meeting on May 20, 2025, focused on several key issues, including affordable housing and land dedication for schools.

During the meeting, Council Member Davis expressed gratitude for the recent addition of townhouses in the area, highlighting the need for more affordable housing options for young families. Davis emphasized that many residents do not require large, expensive homes but rather smaller, more affordable units.

The council also discussed the development of Westside, noting the ongoing construction and the gradual transformation of the land. Mayor Pro Tem Katie pointed out that while developers are dedicating land for schools, the actual establishment of schools is determined by the Douglas County School Board, not the town council. This distinction was important as it clarified the council's limited control over school site usage.

The council ultimately approved a resolution related to these discussions with a unanimous vote of 6-0. The meeting underscored the town's commitment to addressing housing needs while navigating the complexities of educational infrastructure planning.
