RE: Snoderly Annexation & Rezone Application
Dear Commissioners and City Council Members:
A request by Roosevelt Star LLC, for the annexation of parcel R2158200000 totaling 3.19
acres with a proposed zoning designation of R-1 (Low-Density Residential). The subject
property is located north of Homedale Road and east of Farmway Road in Caldwell, Idaho.
The owners are requesting the annexation to bring the entire property within the city
limits of Caldwell with the intent to rezone all 3.19 acres to R-1. Additionally, this
annexation will serve as a pathway to annexing surrounding parcels into the City of
Caldwell.
Comprehensive Plan
The 2040 Caldwell Comprehensive Plan Map designation for the site is Low-Density
Residential, intended to support a gross density of two to five dwelling units per acre. The
application requests annexation into the City of Caldwell with the zone R- 1 `Low-density
Residential District.’ The application is consistent with the following components of the
comprehensive plan:
Goal 1: Establish land-use management policies that protect property rights and the
environment, maintain a high quality of life, provide adequate land for all types of development,
and adequately buffer non-compatible uses.
Policy 1-1: Guide the growth and development of land uses in such a way that the health, safety,
and general welfare of residents will be protected.
Goal 4: Create communities that generate cost-effective public services and infrastructure.
Policy 4-1: Encourage development as a natural outward progression of the City's corporate
boundaries and within areas that can be immediately annexed and provided with public services.
Policy 4-4: Do not extend the City's public water and sewer systems to new development located
outside the municipal boundaries unless annexation can occur, the City Council determines that a
health or safety issue exists, or such extension would be in the City’s best interest.
Sewer & Water Services
A 24-inch sewer main will be extended down Farmway Road from Lonkey Lane to the intersection of
Farmway Road and Homedale Road. At this intersection, an 18-inch main will be extended south along
Farmway Road and west along Homedale Road, where it will be stubbed for future development. Sewer
lines within the development will be 8-inch. A 12-inch water main will be extended west along Homedale

Conclusion
The proposed Annexation and rezone carefully considers all aspects of the Caldwell
Zoning Ordinance and the Caldwell Comprehensive Plan.
