Castle Rock requires all vehicles, including boats, trailers and RVs, to be parked on a driveway, parking lot or other improved surface; parking on grass or dirt is not allowed. Douglas County zoning likewise requires paved surfacing for non-residential parking areas.
On private residential property, Castle Rock's property-maintenance standards require every vehicle, boat, trailer and recreational vehicle to sit on a driveway, parking lot or other improved surface, and expressly prohibit parking on grass or dirt. Stored vehicles must also be licensed and operable. For non-residential uses, Douglas County Zoning Resolution Section 2805.06 requires off-street parking areas accessory to any principal use other than a single-family dwelling (on lots over 10,000 sq ft) to be surfaced with bituminous or portland cement concrete or similar approved material.
Parking on grass/dirt or storing an inoperable vehicle is a code-enforcement violation subject to notice and municipal fines; unsurfaced commercial lots fail site-plan approval.
