Convenience store chain Kum & Go has withdrawn its application to rezone property at the southwest corner of Crystal Valley Parkway and Plum Creek Boulevard to allow them to construct a fueling station and convenience store there .
   “Over the past several months , we have carefully reviewed and taken into consideration feedback from the surrounding community , ” a representative of the chain wrote last week in a letter to the Town . “While we believe we could have mitigated many of the concerns expressed by residents , we felt it was important to respect their strong desire not to have a fueling station at this location . ”
   Kum & Go had submitted the application and held two Town - required neighborhood meetings in 2021 . Dozens of residents participated in the meetings to share their concerns regarding the proposed rezoning .
   “We’re thankful that the residents in this area so actively participated in the Town’s development process , ” said Mayor Jason Gray . “The Town heard you , and more importantly , Kum & Go heard you and has abandoned its efforts to pursue a store on Crystal Valley Parkway . ”
   A Colorado - based company owns the property in question , for which the currently permitted uses include retail sales and service , grocery , drugstore , convenience goods , personal service shops , restaurants fast food with a drive - thru , banks , offices , medical/dental , insurance and related services . The current permitted uses do not include a gas station , which is why Kum & Go had proposed a rezoning .
   “I’m proud to have helped many residents of District 6 achieve what they think is the best outcome for their neighborhood on this item , ” said Town Councilmember Tim Dietz , who represents the area .
   Kum & Go stated in its letter that it is eager to serve Castle Rock and will be seeking “more appropriate locations” from which to do so . The chain presently has a store under construction at the northwest corner of Meadows Parkway and Lombard Street , which will be its first location in Town . The Iowa - based company operates more than 400 locations , primarily in the Midwest .
