Ordinance No. 18-02 (First Reading) - Amending Section 27 of the City's Zoning Ordinance to Adopt and Incorporate Mixed Use Design Guidelines

The City desires to adopt formal design guidelines that will apply to all Mixed Use Districts as designated in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan. The Design Guidelines will convey an acceptable level of design principals and standards that will apply to all existing and future commercial (nonresidential) development in Castle Pines. The intent of Design Guidelines is to enhance the quality of life and character within the City's commercial areas through unified building and site design. 

Design Guidelines have long been a priority of the Planning Commission and were furthered by the findings of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan where the City desired a higher quality of design in commercial areas. The City is at point in time where the adoption of Design Guidelines is critical for the future development and redevelopment of the City's commercial areas.

As this was a first reading, City Council did not take action on the agenda item. Second reading of the ordinance has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 24
