REQUIRED FINDINGS & APPROVAL STANDARDS –
Final Plat:
Caldwell City Code Section 11-02-03 (1) F outlines the Conclusions of Law for approving a Time Extension. Before the council approves a final plat, the council must find and conclude
the following:
1. Time Extension is compliant with city codes.
2. The preliminary plat, as previously approved, is still in the best interests of the safety, health and general welfare of the city.
3. There have been no significant changes to city code between the date of preliminary plat approval and the application date of the time extension request that would require substantial
modifications to the lot layout.
4. Any modification to the layout and design of the originally approved preliminary plat are minimal.
5. The preliminary plat still conforms with new or amended development master plans, including, but not limited to: public facilities plans, pathways and bike routes plans, parks and
recreation master plans.
STAFF REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:
The time extension application requests a 12-month time extension due to valley wide material and labor constraints as well as weather related delays, however, the applicant anticipates

an allowed land use within the zone and complies with the intent and purpose of the zoning district.
