2026/8/25 Hearing Examiner Meeting

The City of Caldwell Hearing Examiner held a meeting on August 25, 2026, to review two land development applications involving commercial and residential subdivisions. The first agenda item concerned a commercial subdivision proposal by Tririccon Properties LLC for an 11-lot commercial development on approximately 7.68 acres. Discussions focused on compliance with landscape buffer width requirements, alternative method of compliance requests, and fencing concerns raised by a neighboring property owner. The applicant was directed to work with the neighbor to address fencing and landscaping mitigation prior to council review. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval contingent on these conditions. The second item involved a short plat application for a two-lot residential townhome subdivision by Double Construction LLC. Staff confirmed the project met zoning and development standards, including parking and landscaping requirements, with some conditions related to landscape easements and street widening. The Hearing Examiner recommended approval of this residential subdivision as well. No contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the meeting included planning and zoning decisions that could influence future development contracts and vendor opportunities related to landscaping and construction.
