2023 - CASE NUMBER CPM23-000009, PUD23-000003, SUB23-000026, ZON23-000008:
ARDURRA, ON BEHALF OF FLORIDA-KARCHER LLC, IS REQUESTING A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT FROM HIGHWAY CORRIDOR
AND COMMERCIAL & SERVICE, TO HIGHWAY CORRIDOR AND MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL, TO INCLUDE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 216-23 ASSOCIATED WITH
CPM23-000009. THERE IS A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATION AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO CHANGE THE ZONING FROM R-1 (LOW DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL), C-I (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL), AND C-2 (COMMUNITY
COMMERCIAL) TO 18.38 ACRES OF R-2 (MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) AND 44.15
ACRES OF H-C (HIGHWAY CORRIDOR) AS APPROXIMATELY IDENTIFIED IN THE MAP
BELOW. CONCURRENTLY THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR A
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR PARCELS R3274300000
AND R3274400000 FOR KARCHER COMMONS, AN APPROXIMATELY 62 ACRE MIXED
USE SUBDIVISION, WITH 336 MULTI -FAMILY UNITS, 196 TOWNHOME STYLE MULTI-
PLEX UNITS, AND 16 COMMERCIAL UNITS. THE SUBJECT PARCELS ARE LOCATED ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF KARCHER RD., THE FULL WIDTH OF LAND BETWEEN INDIANA
AVE. AND FLORIDA AVE., IN CALDWELL, IDAHO. (JOE DODSON)
Joe Dodson, (Planner 3), 621 Cleveland Blvd., provided the staff report.
He stated the commercial uses are not yet known but are planned for and have specific layouts for
commercial use. He noted approximately 60% of non -permitted use is proposed through the PUD. Mr.
Dodson said Staff has analyzed this project and it is in compliance. He stated Vallivue responded stating
additional schools are necessary which would require a new bond.
Mr. Dodson noted a late exhibit, PZ 1001, a public comment by ITD, was submitted which was in
response to the latest TIS that was provided by the applicant. He stated in general, staff, engineering, and
ITD agree with the recommendation from the TIS. Mr. Dodson pointed out an opposing public comment
addressing concerns about safety, traffic and additional noise. He added the applicant is requesting
modified setbacks as a part of the PUD. Staff is requesting an updated landscape plan prior to Council
that shows a required pathway along the Phyllis Canal that's within the multifamily area. That will comply
with the master's pathway plan and will connect to some existing pathways.
Mr. Dodson said staff recommended approval of the request subject to the conditions provided in the draft
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law documents attached to the staff report; but with the
modification to allow the zero foot setback for the multiplex lots as depicted on the plat.
In response to Chair Zamora's question about flexibility that is allowed in the PUD application, Mr.
Dodson explained historically the City of Caldwell has allowed non -permitted uses to get up to 30%
through the PUD process and the special permitted there was no review on that. He added Staff will
address that in the future but for now it is requested the Commissioners waive the total 62% of special use
and non -permitted multifamily units in the medium density and highway corridor be permitted. Mr.
Dodson noted the requested density is under maximum allowances.
Commissioner Larson asked how we're preserving and enhancing key areas along the highway. Mr.
Dodson explained the need to preserve and enhance the noise levels for single-family homes. He noted
there isn't a specific distance, but it is within walking distance to commercial and service uses which will
reduce vehicular traffic in the area.
Mr. Dodson said there isn't anything documented about public transportation in this application and
provided examples as to what other cities have done to address the issue. Deputy Director, Morgan
Bessaw stated there has been conversation about public transportation where Karcher will support that but
the numbers of people need to articulate that.
Chair Zamora calls late exhibit PZ1001, the ITD letter, into the record.
Brent Thompson, applicant, 7068 Founder St. Eagle, Idaho, speaks on behalf of the program. He stated he
is working with planning staff and economic development in getting commercial property and multi-
family development brought in.
Becky Yzaguirre, (Representative), 2471 S. Titanium PI., Meridian ID 83642, spoke in favor of the
request by use of a power point presentation. She noted it is a mixed use project offering housing,
commercial and dining. She noted they are requesting to amend the comprehensive plan amendment and
rezone to zoning designations R-2 and H-C.
She described the planned unit development will have 46% residential use and 54% commercial use. She
described the variety of housing and amenities that will be provided, parking, commercial use, traffic and
roadway plans and landscaping.
Ms. Yzaguirre asked for deviations from the R-2 and to exceed the maximum 30% of non -specialty
permitted units to accommodate the townhome and multi family apartments. She pointed out per city
code are specially permitted uses putting them over the 30%. She said they are asking for an adjustment
of 62% to accommodate the proposed development. She explained there are some discrepancies in the
city code and comprehensive plan that helped to justify their request and feel their request is reasonable.
In response to questions from Commissioner Larson, Ms Yzaguirre described they follow ITD plans and
that their development proposal will have a 10-foot pathway on both sides of the road; including
connectivity throughout the development as well. She said because of the recent school bond approval,
they did not offer any donations.
Commissioner Harman's question about traffic was addressed by Robb McDonald, Public Works
Director, stated there will not be any lights to control traffic. Instead, there will a RCUT intersection
which will control the direction of traffic at that intersection.
Ms. Yzaguirre said the 0% setback does not change the 62% deviation when asked by Chair Zamora
Brent Thompson spoke again regarding the housing types were based off of the comprehensive plan and
will be priced according to today's market.
Zane Cradick, (Engineer) 332 N. Broadmore Way, Nampa speaks in favor as the engineer of this project.
He asked the commissioners for questions which they did not have any
There was no public input; therefore, rebuttal was not necessary.
MOVED by Larson SECONDED by Harman to close the testimony portion of the public hearing.

Joe Dodson, (Planner 3), 621 Cleveland Blvd., provided the staff report by outlining its contents by use of
a PowerPoint. Mr. Dodson noted late exhibit, PZ1000, due to late night changes from the night prior. He
identified the three areas of modification:
• Creating of a public zoning district
• Modification to sign height allowances in the C-3 zone within the airport overlay
• Update to the pool barrier code
Mr. Dodson explained the purposes of each of the modifications. He advised the changes within text,
footnote modifications and adding additional codes. He explained the public zoning district is consistent
with the comprehensive plan.
Chair Zamora reads late exhibit PZ1000 into the record.
Sabrina Minshall, (Canyon County Development Services Director), 310 N. I I", Caldwell, ID 83605,
spoke in favor of the request and indicated they are looking to build a new building for the sheriff's
department. She explained that their funding has a short timeline and City Code does not allow them to
work within the required timeline. She spoke of additional parking, tunnelling to the building and
administrative offices being their primary goal of the building. She added that they have a lot of moving
entities that could potentially cause traffic plans that they hope to address throughout their project. Ms.
Minshall pointed out that these are ideas but they have not been submitted; she wanted to be sure the
commissioners knew why she supported the addition of the public zoning district.
Rick Britton, (Canyon County Facilities Director) 21140 Upper Pleasant Ridge Rd., Caldwell, ID 83607
Canyon County Facilities Director spoke in favor of the request. He stated safety is his biggest concern as
well as the partnership between the county and the city. He believes that adding the public zoning district
