Castle Rock's Planning Commission has two public hearings on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026: a 112-home neighborhood in Crystal Valley Ranch, and RidgeView Town Center, a proposed commercial annexation on North Ridge Road.

If you were looking for a Sept. 24 recap, there isn't one. That meeting was canceled, and Oct. 8 is the next regular meeting.

The Planning Commission reviews each application, takes public comment and sends a recommendation to Town Council. It doesn't make the final call.

Crystal Valley Ranch: 112 Single-Family Homes

The proposed Site Development Plan covers about 21 acres northwest of the Crystal Valley Parkway and Snow Goose Road intersection.

  • 112 single-family detached homes
  • 4.5 acres of public and private open space, including a 0.9-acre tract that serves as a buffer to the existing neighborhood east of the property
  • Two access points, both from Crystal Valley Parkway

The fourth and final neighborhood meeting on this plan is Monday, Oct. 5, in Room C at the Philip & Jerry Miller Library. The plan also needs a Town Council public hearing after Planning Commission.
