Design Review
Documents & Forms
The following activities must be submitted, reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee (DRC) prior to the initiation of any work
- All new construction
- Exterior improvements to an existing property
- New landscaping installations
- Revised landscaping
Some common modifications and additions that require DRC approval include: adding rooms, patios, decks and garages to an existing home (approvals of this type require the submission of an architectural plan, preferably from a licensed architect); hardscape modifications such as fire pits, retaining walls, sports courts, outdoor kitchens and lighting; landscape modifications such as trees, shrubs, water features, boulders and sod; features such as hot tubs, play sets, sculptures, basketball hoops, and invisible dog fences.
The DRC representatives will walk you through the process, come to your home to review the project, and work with your landscapers on the Approved Plant List. To begin the review process, complete the appropriate application and send or drop off the application form, along with the plans, to the Castle Pines Homes Association Office, attention Design Review. For questions please call the DRC Administrator at 303-814-1345 or email at [email protected].

DRC Approval Process & Fees
Special Approval Requirements
Special approval requirements come into play with sub-associations and when golf courses are involved:
Sub-Associations
Requests for approval must be submitted to both the DRC and sub-association as appropriate. They should be submitted to the design review of the sub-association before the Master DRC. The sub-associations are more restrictive than the Master Association and therefore must approve the submittal before the Master Association’s DRC will review the request.
Golf Courses
Residents must solicit golf course approval for any change that encroaches on the golf course set-back or that alters the view from the golf course.
