The entire premise that this area, in particular from the river to 20/26, should be in any way industrial use is a terrible application to the highest and best use of the land.
If you compare the geographical features of the area- River frontage, wild life, flooded or could be flooded gravel pits, the area closely resembles the Eagle, Idaho areas features.
While I would never aspire to be like Eagle, their similar featured areas are among some of the most valuable lands in the treasure valley. Walking paths, water front property, an abundance of wildlife mixed into the community. Industrial would be a massive disservice to this region and I hope this is taken into consideration.

Just because there's a belief that Sky Ranch was a success doesn't mean we should duplicated it with such a rich resource as this area presents.

Please reconsider the zoning from the river to 20/26 before Urban Renewal ruins this gem of an opportunity for Caldwell's future!

Maybe there is some practical reason behind moving the planning boundaries west of Farmway. From the outside looking in it seems arbitrary though. And I would bet it's an generally unpopular concept to those west of Farmway. Encouraging more development and pushing those planning boundaries west of the freeway, north of the river, and even west of Farmway will impact the lives of folks in rural western Canyon County. The land use decision making in Notus and Parma demonstrates an attempt at measured and cautious change. Consideration of that by the Caldwell decision makers would be greatly appreciated. Don't encourage growth by pushing planing boundaries without there being some sort of necessity.

We would like to request that 12682 Orchard Ave. parcel #R3280500000 receive a designation of Neiborhood # 2 consistent with Peregrine Estates Subdivision that surround the parcel to the north and east.

I disagree with the lands designation of R2 at the area on the intersection of the proposed extension of Laster and Midland Road. To the north of the proposed site there is zoned C2. West of the project is Adams Ridge Subdivision Zoning R2. South of the Project is zoned RP (Nampa, Idaho) proposed residential subdivision Astire Subdivision # 3. East of the Project is Zoned IL – Lite Industrial (Nampa Idaho). Farther south is Costco, St. Lukes and a large retail development. I feel this area would be best designated as a Mixed Use area.

Comment
The classification of this land (South of Ustick, in the vicinity of Kimball and 10th Streets) as 'Community Center' should be further evaluated. While commercial/retail use and community gather space would be beneficial and appropriate to all, the 'Community Center' designation also stresses high and medium density housing that doesn't work for this neighborhood (the issue has already been heard in public meeting by planning and zoning). A more appropriate transitional area between the Cumberland /Sotera homes and any future commercial/community development would include a greenbelt, park space, retirement living center, condominiums or something that will align with and positively affect the existing neighborhoods. Thank you!

How can we ensure that public transportation is being utilized? Is there a way to promote bus use that could be in this plan?

V E Graves & Sons request that parcel R32600 be designated Neighborhood 2 from their eastern boundary to Deer Flat Caldwell Canal as this is a logical division between FLUM designations. A slightly higher density on this property will also assist in paying for the infrastructure improvements scheduled to be constructed on Farmway in the near future. The property to the northeast (and adjacent to R32600 is designated Mixed Use and there is not an appropriate transition from MU to Neighborhood 1. Additionally, the property to the east is designated Neighborhood 2 and there is no street or division between that property and R32600.

The area south of Hwy 55 that is immediately west of Kimball Avenue will no longer have access to Hwy 55 with the plans that ITD. Kimball Avenue access to Hwy 55 has been permanently closed making access for commercial uses south of Hwy 55 between Kimball and Farmway limited and will require traffic to come through the existing neighborhoods. A future land use consistent with the surrounding character on the southside of Hwy 55 between Farmway and Kimball would be more appropriate.

My client, Weitz and Company, requests a change to the proposed zoning designation for the following parcels: R21476, R21478, R35473010, R35473 from "Neighborhood 2" to "Mixed Use Center". Given the expansion of Farmway Road to become a major north-south arterial and key to the westward growth of the city, we would like the land-use to best serve the need for both higher-density residential and commercial retail with light industrial. We believe that the new Mixed Use Center designation fits best with the Owner's objectives. Thank you.

My client requests the following parcels to be included in this zoning designation: R01062, R01063, R01064, R01065, R01066, R01067, R01070. The revised zoning designation is "Urban Neighborhood", which is certainly an improvement over the current "Business" designation. However, we believe that given the context of the surrounding area a zoning designation of "Mixed Use Center" or "Community Center" may be more appropriate. Our preference would be "Community Center".

Technical Edit
It is hard to tell where the western boundary is if you are not already familiar with this map since Wagnor and Farmway are not labeled.

I am curious why you stopped this from Lake to Indiana but allowed it past 10th Ave where there are currently houses on the north side of Karcher which this zone now encompasses? why the space? why not have it run through that section and stop at 10th?

Why do you have this higher density on just one parcel on the south side of Orchard and Indiana?? Orchard and Indiana are already busy enough adding high density dwellings will not add any value to the area and will only bring down our property values!! We also have one of the last pieces of ag ground that we run cattle on in that area and have for 60 years!! we don't want to sell and why did this city allow this development to go in as high density!!! you don't even follow your own designs!! you just hopscotched development all the way out from the city.

To add to my previous comment, the new designation might be "Mixed Use" but I would request that zoning for at least the east half from Farmway Rd to west of Bardsly drain if not the whole 100 acres. There may be commercial/ light industrial uses along Logan St west of the drain compatible with Crookham's across the road.

We have 100 acres + or- contiguous to Farmway Rd between Logan and Linden St's. We would like to annex the land into the city under a Highway Corridor type designation with a density of 40 units per acre. We Invision a rural type Eagle road with professional commercial, commercial, multi family and to the west single family. In the center is Bardsly drain we would propose to make an Indian Creek style green space.

Note: This area in Nampa's AOI is "Industrial". There should be recommendations placed in Caldwell's Comprehensive Plan to ensure compatibility of residential land uses in this area.
replies

Doug Critchfield Sep 9 2024 at 5:42PM on page 8

Suggested Revision
The South Caldwell AOI that borders Nampa's AOI was slated to be "Estate" lots in the prior Caldwell Comprehensive Plan. Nampa's recent AOI addition anticipated that this area would remain estate lots. The "Neighborhood 2" designation in this update is much more dense and would be incompatible with Nampa's Low Density Land Use designation. Suggest changing this area to the Neighborhood 1 designation. Likewise, the east side of Caldwell's AOI south of Joplin and north of 20/26 should be designated Neighborhood 1 for the same compatibility reasons.
