Re: Subdivision: Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat Applications
Dear Juli,
I am submitting this letter on behalf of my client, Rental Property Holdings, LLC. Rental
Property Holdings and team are pleased to present the Silver Meadows residential development
project. Included are applications for a Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat.
The location of the project site is 3307 East Ustick Road, Caldwell, Idaho, 83605. The site is
bordered by Caldwell Christian Church, Stone Creek, and Powell Estates subdivisions to the
West, Pioneer Irrigation and Muffin Subdivision to the East, and Ustick Road as well as the
recently approved Solstice Subdivision directly to the North. Wilson Drain borders the project
site to the East, which conveniently creates a buffer from neighboring residents.
The property to be developed consists of two adjoining parcels totaling 28.07 acres: one 5-acre
parcel containing a residential single-family home, along with a 23.07-acre parcel currently
being utilized for agricultural purposes. The Silver Meadows project is a one-phase development
and introduces a mixed-use residential subdivision that offers current and future citizens of
Caldwell a safe, healthy, and appealing living environment.
The project provides several innovative and quality housing options to help combat the housing
shortage that many citizens of the Treasure Valley face. These options include four different
housing products, emphasizing style preference and affordability to maximize the buyer’s
opportunities. The project will offer front-loaded single-family lots, front-loaded townhouse lots
with 4 different elevations to choose from, and 4 multi-family apartment buildings. Furthermore,
the project incorporates many appealing amenities including a playground lot, a community
center, a community park, and a health club with a gym.
The project site is currently zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential. The proposed project is
seeking a PUD for the current zoning of R-2. With a PUD to the existing zoning, the
comprehensive plan allows up to 12.0 units per acre for mixed-use residential uses. The proposed
density for the project is well below the maximum number of units at 9.20 units per acre,
promoting an efficient and comfortable density to a growing part of Caldwell. Maintaining an R-
2 Medium Density Residential zoning with the addition of a PUD will mirror the subdivisions
that border to its west and south, supplementing the transition of residential housing to the
nearby schools within the Caldwell School District. The Silver Meadows density plan seeks to
create its own identity by offering unique and attractive housing while also joining the
community identity with the surrounding subdivisions.
Rental Property Holdings, LLC and team are excited to introduce the Silver Meadows project to
the community of Caldwell. It is our desire to not only provide housing opportunities to the great
city of Caldwell, but to also establish a prosperous working relationship with the citizens and
members of the community to properly continue its growth.
Please contact me if you have any questions or seek any further information. Thank you and we
look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Carl Anderson, Applicant Representative
