Next steps presented at open house
Town staff intends to recommend that one parking space be required for each residential unit built Downtown and that commercial developments should also require parking, per Town Council direction. Town Code does not currently require parking for Downtown developments.
Before bringing their recommendation to Town Council, staff held an open house to gather feedback on the recommendations, as well as on other items related to Downtown parking.
In addition to proposed parking requirements for Downtown developments, these topics were presented for discussion:
- Parking changes recently implemented to add nearly 20 parking spots to Downtown
- Processes for requesting a loading zone space or a parking space time-limit adjustment
- Parking enforcement efforts being conducted by Castle Rock Police Department’s new Community Service Officer
