The owners of the former Safeway site are currently seeking a tenant to fill the vacant site. Safeway previously had a multi-year lease in place for the property. However, that lease was terminated last year. Following that lease termination, the property owner entered into an agreement with a private fitness facility known as Engage: A Total Wellness Community. However, that agreement is no longer in place.

The property owner is actively searching for a new tenant to fill the space. We'll share information on a new tenant when available.

The City does not directly “pick” which businesses come to Castle Pines. Like all municipalities, we use the approved zoning to determine what types of businesses are allowed in certain areas. These zoning decisions are made when a property is incorporated into the city limits.

Every piece of property within city limits has designated zoning conditions. Property owners may choose to develop their land, as long as that development complies with current approved zoning and City code. If a property owner wishes to develop in a way that doesn’t comply with the property’s current zone, the owner may petition the City Council for a rezoning.

To support development, the City works with property and business owners to process land use applications in accordance with the City's codes and Comprehensive Plan. However, while the City may help support the development process, we do not choose or dictate the individual businesses or tenants.

How businesses establish a presence:

• Property owner is willing to have a commercially zoned area developed
• Property owner connects with potential business owner
• Business owner becomes interested in the land
• Business may commence the building process if it meets the requirements of zoning and City code

It’s ultimately up to the property owner to connect with potential businesses to fill commercial zones, as the City cannot force a landowner to develop their property. \

While there are hundreds of acres of dedicated open space throughout the community, not all undeveloped land is designated as open space. When property owners develop land in Castle Pines, they are required to dedicate portions of it for specific uses, such as schools, parks, and open space. However, just because land near your home—or elsewhere in the community—is undeveloped today does not mean it is permanently protected from future development. To find out the zoning designations of land in the City, visit the City's Public Map and select the "Existing and Project Land Use" label to see which areas are truly open space or other designations.

Yes, the City Council approved a renovation contract for the Castle Pines Community Center, located at 7404 Yorkshire Drive, during the February 10 City Council meeting. The Community Center is closed for renovation, with the project expected to be completed by late summer 2026. After the renovations are complete, the Community Center will reopen for room reservations. The renovations will include improvements to lighting, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and interior spaces. The renovations will improve an existing community asset and create an upgraded meeting space for residents, City meetings, and local organizations.

Once the renovations are complete, City Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and Urban Renewal Authority meetings will be held at the Castle Pines Community Center moving forward. Resident and community group rentals will resume following construction.

City staff and plow operators plan for each snowfall. When snow is predicted, snow removal personnel report for duty and are assigned designated snow routes ahead of time. However, every snow event is different, and we regularly make adjustments to our snow removal operations based on the changing weather conditions and any requests for access from emergency or police services. Visit CastlePinesCO.gov/Snow for more information, including a plow tracking map.

Road Priorities

We maintain our public streets in the following order:

• Priority 1 - Arterial roadways: These streets are the City’s primary access roads and provide critical connections throughout the community, including access to school zones, major office areas, or designated emergency routes. Priority 1 streets are the first to be cleared during a snowstorm, and only after they are considered safe and passable will plow operators and equipment move to Priority 2 roads. Examples include Castle Pines Parkway, Monarch Boulevard, Lagae Road, Mira Vista Lane, and Buffalo Trail.
• Priority 2 - Collector roadways: These streets provide primary access into and out of residential areas. Examples include Daniels Gate Road/Grigs Road, Buffalo Trail, Hidden Point Boulevard, Crossing Circle, Yorkshire Drive, Oxford Drive, and Shoreham Drive.
• Priority 3 - Local roadways: When Priority 1 and 2 streets are passable, these smaller residential streets, cul-de-sacs, and all other roads will be plowed.

If you have questions or concerns about snow and ice removal, please email PWRequests@castlepinesco.gov. This inbox is the quickest way to receive a response about snow and ice concerns after a snowstorm.

The City of Castle Pines does not provide drinking water or wastewater services. These services are handled by the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District (residents west of I-25) or the Parker Water and Sanitation District (residents east of I-25). Please contact these entities for concerns or questions about drinking water or wastewater.

Stormwater Management

The City of Castle Pines does provide stormwater management for residents. These services are provided to improve the quality of water runoff entering the storm drain system and receiving streams. The program plays a critical role in controlling flooding, enhancing safety, protecting the environment, and meeting the requirements of federal environmental regulations.

Castle Pines holds an Environmental Protection Agency Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, which requires the City to monitor, maintain, and control its stormwater facilities. Stormwater must be managed for the good of the entire community because water runoff does not follow subdivision or community boundaries. The City is responsible for the repair and maintenance of existing stormwater facilities as well as the construction of needed capital improvement projects related to the stormwater system. More information about stormwater management is available on the Stormwater webpage.

For questions about stormwater, email stormwater@castlepinesco.gov.

Yes, the City invoices property owners each year for the annual stormwater management fee. Visit the City's Stormwater webpage for more information about the fee or to make a payment.

What is the purpose of the stormwater management fee?

To cover the costs of managing and maintaining stormwater infrastructure, residents and commercial property owners pay an annual stormwater utility fee. This annual fee provides dedicated funding for the City's management of stormwater system infrastructure.

Many property owners formerly paid a stormwater fee as a part of their water bill from the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District (CPNMD). However, when the City began operating and maintaining the public stormwater system in early 2023, CPNMD ceased collection of a stormwater fee. The City began collecting a citywide stormwater fee for the second half of 2023. Moving forward, the fee will be collected on an annual basis.

The stormwater utility fee allows the City to provide an upgraded, consistent service across the entire city. Collecting a stormwater utility fee aligns with other Front Range municipalities and enables the City to ensure proper funding levels to meet stormwater system infrastructure needs moving forward.
