A federal judge ruled that the Town of Castle Rock cannot enforce a land use code against The Rock evangelical church for providing temporary shelter for unhoused people on its property.

U.S. District Court Judge Daniel D. Domenico handed down the ruling on Friday. The decision granted the church a preliminary injunction.

The church sued Castle Rock earlier this year after it received a “letter of determination” from the zoning manager stating that the church was violating zoning regulations and that it couldn’t park RVs used as residences on site.
