REQUEST SUMMARY: The City of Caldwell is requesting a comprehensive plan amendment for the adoption of a
Capital Improvements Plan and Traffic Impact Fee program. The Capital Improvements Plan identifies and prioritizes
transportation projects through 2041 within the service area, which includes the city and parts of Highway District
4’s planning area. The Traffic Impact Fee program identifies eligible roadway projects from the Capital
Improvements Plan to be funded through traffic impact fees and identifies a traffic impact fee schedule. Adoption
of the Capital Improvements Plan and Traffic Impact Fee program will allow the City of Caldwell to collect
development impact fees to fund impact fee eligible roadway projects. The Capital Improvement Plan and Traffic
Impact Fee program were developed in accordance with the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act (Idaho Code 67-82).
Concurrently, the City of Caldwell is requesting an ordinance text amendment to Chapter 10, Article 3, Section 10-
03-01, 10-03-02, 10-03-03, 10-03-13, 10-03-14, 10-03-15, 10-02-01, and Chapter 10, Article 9 of Caldwell City Code.
The ordinance amendments are cleaning up some of the text language for clarity, amending text to include traffic
impact fees, deleting the administrative citation section that was previously relocated to another section, adding a
new section for business licensing and deleting the old section referencing business permits, repealing and replacing
Chapter 10, Article 9 Impact Fee as it has been relocated to Chapter 10, Article 3, and replacing it with a reserved
section for Institutional and Public Zoning Districts.
APPLICATION PACKET: The complete packet is attached to the PAM for your convenience.
