2. Streets/Local Roads/Driveways
Streets and local roads within Planning Areas and driveways accessing privately-owned sites shall be designed with careful consideration of existing slopes and proposed grades. All local roads shall be constructed in compliance with the approved Castle Pines North Roadway Standards.
Streets and local roads within Planning Areas shall be designed in such a way that they are consistent with and are aligned with streets and local roads in adjacent development areas.
Lighting, signage, and fencing along all streets shall be in compliance with the prototypes established by the DRC for Castle Pines North.
3. Parking
No on-street parking is allowed on Castle Oaks Avenue (100 ft. R.O.W.) or on any of the collector roads (80 ft. or 60 ft. R.O.W.). On-street parking is allowed only on the local neighborhood roads (50 ft. R.O.W.) where designated.
Off-street parking lots should be screened by landscaping and/or landforms as much as possible without inhibiting views to the parking lot entrances or to buildings. Site planning should avoid buildings which are surrounded on all sides by parking. Grading of parking lots should relate to existing topography. Refer to the Castle Pines North Development Guide for specific off-street parking requirements and standards.
Structured parking associated with multi-family residential projects is allowed in Castle Pines North. If developed, structured parking should be unimposing and integrated into the structure and/or land with which it is to be associated.
4. Pedestrian Circulation/Sidewalks
On-site pedestrian circulation designed and built within each development project must tie into the overall pedestrian network contained in the "Recreational Trails and Open Space Plan" contained in the Castle Pines North Development Guide. Bikeways, walkways and trails should be designed so that they follow the natural contours of the site and, therefore, keep cut and fill areas to a minimum.
It is recommended that sidewalks built along the roadsides in Castle Pines North be separated from the street by a planting/landscape median. Concrete, as opposed to asphalt, is the recommended paving material for sidewalks along roads in Castle Pines North.
