Planning commission votes 4–0 to recommend Bella Mesa South site plan to Town Council
Summary
The Town of Castle Rock Planning Commission recommended approval of the Bella Mesa South site development plan, advancing a 93‑unit townhome proposal to Town Council after questions on parking, lighting and buffering were addressed.
The Town of Castle Rock Planning Commission voted 4–0 on March 12 to recommend that Town Council approve the Bella Mesa South site development plan, moving a 93‑unit townhome proposal forward to a March 24 council hearing.
Staff presented the application and recommended approval, noting the plan meets the municipal code and Bella Mesa plan development requirements. "So staff is recommending that Planning Commission recommend approval of the site development plan to town council as proposed," said Ms. Foster, the staff presenter. Commissioners asked detailed questions about parking, trash handling and exterior lighting before the vote.
The plan covers about 9 acres and proposes 93 townhomes; the zoning would allow up to 186 units, so the applicant described the proposal as a reduction in maximum potential density. The commission recorded a roll call vote of 4 in favor, 0 opposed. The transcript records a motion to recommend approval and a recorded second; the record indicates the speaker who voiced the second is ambiguous in the transcript. The item will advance to Town Council on March 24 for final action.
