Project Narrative - Revised
May 5, 2023
We are proposing the construction of a new multifamily development on a 1.5-acre lot in
Caldwell, Idaho consisting of (8) duplexes, creating (16) new dwellings. The new development will
have a modern aesthetic in alternating styles between the two proposed options. Two new
driveways accessed from S. Montana Avenue will be constructed for access to the units. Landscaping
at the perimeter of the property and a central open space will enrich the site for the residents. This
project will involve the demolition of an existing single-family residence on the property, as well as
two accessory structures.
The proposed site is an excellent candidate for Annexation and Comprehensive Plan
Amendment given its ample capacity to provide quality multifamily housing for the consistently
growing population of Caldwell. All of the surrounding plots are a part of Caldwell and the site is in
proximity to R-2, medium-density areas to the west and south. The current zoning of the site is
undesignated, and the City of Caldwell 2040 Comprehensive Plan Map designates it as R-1, low-
density residential. We are requesting a comprehensive plan amendment to change this to R-3, high-
density residential for this development, as well as Annexation to become a part of Caldwell.
Thank you,
