As discussed at our roundtable meeting, Peregrine East is a 20.83-acre residential subdivision comprised of 48 single-family residential lots, along with a variety of open spaces and amenities across the site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE MAP & ZONING The City of Caldwell’s recently adopted Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map identifies this parcel as Neighborhood 2 which allows for a density range of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. We are also following the Comprehensive Plan with the zoning designation request of R-1 Low Density Residential, which is one of the compatible zoning districts listed in the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan. Peregrine East is proposing a total of 48 dwelling units with an overall density of 2.36 dwelling units per acre. This is well within the maximum dwelling units per acre ranges outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the project provides a total of 4.53 acres (22.2%) open space, of which 1.89 acres (9.3%) is qualified open space as defined per City Code. This 9.3% qualified open space is nearly double the amount of qualified open space required by code (5%). PROJECT DESIGN Peregrine East is a thoughtfully planned residential subdivision that is designed in accordance with the City of Caldwell’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. Primary access into the project will be from Orchard Avenue with a secondary access point at Ropers Road. There are a variety of housing types and a total of 265 residential units, along with one commercial lot. The variety of lot sizes allows in flexibility and housing choices for residents and provides the possibility for a daycare operator to locate here. PHASING PLAN Peregrine East will be developed in one (1) phase. Development will start in the northwest corner of our site and will include improvements at Ropers Street as well as internal public streets in addition to frontage improvements along Orchard Avenue. A stub street is also planned to connect Peregrine Estates No. 8 at Gladwell Street. Page 2 | 2 BULK ZONING STANDARDS At this time, we are requesting a slight modification to the zoning standards to reduce the side yard setback from six feet (6’) to five (5’). This slight modification is consistent with the newly proposed side yard setbacks being considered by the city and is consistent with what our homebuyer prefer. OPEN SPACES & AMENITIES In accordance with the City of Caldwell’s Landscaping Ordinance1 Peregrine East has been designed to provide for a robust amount of open space. Peregrine East includes 1.86 acres or 9.3% of open qualified open space along with required park amenities such as walking paths, benches, as well as a tot lot and shade structure. Additionally, due to the irrigation easement running north-south along our eastern boundary of the site along with two large drainage lot areas, there is a substantial amount of additional open space connected to the qualified open spaces which is not included in these calculations as restricted by code. PUBLIC SERVICES Water, Wastewater and Pressurized Irrigation will connect into the adjacent Peregrine Estates No. 8 infrastructure. All services will be designed in accordance with City of Caldwell standards. Additionally, any site runoff and drainage will be captured and retained on site. On behalf of Trilogy Development and the entire design team we appreciate your time and effort in reviewing our application and I am happy to answer any questions you might have. I can best be reached at 208-724-2624. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Bonnie Layton Bonnie Layton enclosures 1 See City of Caldwell Code 10-07-05:Common Open Space Standards(1)A.
