2026/10/14 - Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting

The City of Caldwell Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, held October 14, 2026, considered land-use applications and related traffic concerns; no procurement activity, contract awards, or spending approvals were identified. For North Celeste Subdivision (ANN26-08 and SPP26-0009), the commission reviewed a supplemental traffic analysis covering the proposed 104-home subdivision and two nearby developments. The analysis projected Level of Service F at Midway and Moss under future conditions, including without the developments; the city’s transportation plan identifies future improvements at that intersection. The applicant said the developments would contribute traffic impact fees, but no specific allocation or capital project funding was approved. After public testimony raising concerns about traffic, road safety, and irrigation, the commission unanimously recommended approval, conditioned on providing City Council a summary of communications among the developers, the city, and the affected property owner regarding the Moss and Celeste intersection.

The commission also unanimously approved a special use permit (SUP26-05) for first-floor office space at 518 Blaine Street, subject to staff’s conditions. The applicant described the proposal as a conversion of an existing home with no exterior changes and adequate existing parking and utilities; staff noted that design review would be required before a business license is issued. The consent calendar was also approved, with no details provided in the transcript.
