A very important meeting of the Planning Commission will be held tomorrow, April 20th, 2026 at 6pm in Castle Rock. The meeting will take place in the County Commissioners meeting room at 100 Third Street (down the hill from the main Douglas County building on Wilcox Street). Many of your neighbors will be there to oppose the dense “Bellbern” housing development being proposed by KB Home at Pine Drive and Lincoln Avenue.

If you are unable to travel to Castle Rock, you can join the live stream via your computer. Instructions are here:

You will need to visit https://douglascounty.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx and click on the “In Progress” link associated with the Planning Commission meeting once the meeting has started. Reloading the page will likely be necessary in order to view and click on the link around 6pm tomorrow.

The topic we care about is the fourth item on the agenda: “Stroh Exemption, 1st Amendment, Parcels A & B1 – Comprehensive Master Plan Land Use Map Amendment – Project File: DR2025-008.”
