ARTICLE 3, SECTION 10- 03 -07, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS. REPEALING ALL
ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS, ORDERS, AND PARTS THEREOF IN CONFLICT HEREWITH.
BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Council of the City of Caldwell, County of Canyon, State of
Idaho:
Section 1. That Article 3, Section 10- 03 -07, Planned Unit Developments, shall be amended by
deleting and adding certain language as follows:
(1) Purpose: It shall be the purpose of this Section to encourage the unified and planned development
of a site held in individual or corporate ownership at the time of development by the use of a planned
unit development rop cess.
Such developments may be permitted without customary division into individual lots, or without
specific conformance with semplianeeta the zoning district regulations as applicable to individual lots
subject to the regulations as- beFeipa#teFprovided below.
The planned unit development process is intended to provide flexibility, latitude and relief from the
provisions of the zoning ordinance in the following instances: 1) where a land parcel is constrained or
otherwise limited by some obstacle feature , geometry, condition or easement that interferes with
applying standard development processes: 2) where there is a desire to preserve significant amount
of open space: 3 to vromote ima inative or unique concepts, innovations and designs: and 41-to
accommodate creative mixes of residential and commercial development.
The Planned unit development process is not intended to skirt development rules nor create some
detrimental impact on the surrounding community through its employment, rather it is intended to
provide development flexibility, latitude or relief consistent with one of the aforementioned pursuits.
Any latitude, flexibility or relief provided through this land use application, shall be compensated by
the addition of some new amenity-within or outside the development. Such an amenit should provide
equal or greater value to the development as a whole. The determination of whether the
compensation offered is equal to or greater than the relief provided is left, to the Commission and
Council's discretion.
(2) Policy: Following the spirit and purpose of this Section, much greater latitude is permitted than in
conventional and traditional regulations for development. In consideration of the latitude given, and
the abstem-e of many ef4hAe-n-enventional the Commission and Council (on appeal) shall
have wide discretionary powers in judging and approving or disapproving the imaginative or unique
concepts, afld- innovations, and designs which may be incorporated into the plans presented, provided
the planned unit development shall conform to the general purposes and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.
(3) Procedures: The use of the procedure given in this z oning s ection superimposes each approved
specific planned unit development on the underlying zoning district regulations as an exception to
such regulations, to the extent that such planned development shall modify and supersede the
regulations of the underlying use zone. The administrative procedures for a planned unit development
shall be the same as applied to fey special use permits.

(4) Uses Permitted: Planned unit developments shall be allowed by special use permit feruses as
specified in Section 10 -02 -02 of this Chapter. Planned unit development procedures may permit the
inclusion of land uses other than those permitted by the existing zoning district regulations subject to
the requirements of this Section and provided the Commission shall find that:
A. The uses permitted are necessary or desirable and are appropriate with respect to the primary
purpose of the development as specified in the order granting the development; and
B. The uses permitted are not of such a nature or so located as to exercise a detrimental influence on
the surrounding neighborhood.
(5) Requirements: Planned unit developments shall comply in all respects with the specific regulations
and requirements approved and authorized for such specific planned unit development.
(6) Ownership: A planned unit development shall be in one ownership or under a unit control during
the planning and developmental state to ensure that the development can be accomplished. (Ord.
