Castle Pines Seeks Residents for Boards and Commissions Openings

The City of Castle Pines opened its application process on December 10, 2025 for multiple vacancies on advisory boards and commissions that advise elected officials and shape municipal policy. Openings include seats on the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Board of Adjustments and Appeals, and the Urban Renewal Authority. The city posted descriptions of each body and its responsibilities to help residents understand where applicants can have the greatest impact.

Applicants must be Castle Pines residents, and the announcement outlines expected term lengths, the volunteer nature of the positions, and the use of staggered terms for continuity. The city directed prospective members to its online application portal linked from the City website, and asked applicants to submit a short statement of interest along with background information and contact details. The announcement sets a deadline for submissions and explains that applications will be reviewed by the City Council or the City Clerk's office ahead of a public appointment process.

Contact information for questions and alternative application formats is provided through the City Clerk or Communications Office by the email address and phone number listed in the announcement. Residents are encouraged to read the board descriptions on the City website, confirm application deadlines, and submit completed applications according to the instructions on the boards and commissions page.

These advisory bodies play a direct role in decisions that affect everyday life in Castle Pines. Planning and zoning recommendations influence development patterns and property use. Parks and recreation guidance steers investments in public space and programming. The Board of Adjustments and Appeals adjudicates requests that can alter individual property outcomes, and the Urban Renewal Authority addresses projects tied to economic development and public investment. Because appointments are made through a public process, the composition of these boards can shift policy priorities and affect fiscal choices that shape the city for years.

For residents, serving offers a way to engage directly with local governance, provide oversight, and advocate for neighborhood priorities. Broad participation helps ensure the advisory bodies reflect the community they serve, and that decisions on land use, public safety, recreation, and city finances receive informed and representative input.
