Jarom Wagoner, Senior Planner at 621 Cleveland Blvd. acknowledged being sworn in and outlined the contents of the staff report. He reported that the request is for an annexation of three (3) acres more or less, with a C-2 zoning designation. The property is located at Homedale Road and Lake Avenue. The application complies with the Comprehensive Plan for future zoning within the area. He noted that the neighbors have expressed concerns about some of the allowed uses within the designated zone. Staff recommends that a portion of the uses not be allowed and other uses only allowed through an approved Special Use Permit. Non-allowed uses would include dog kennels, mortuary or crematory. Particular uses requiring a special -use permit include a gas station or a drive-in restaurant with a drive through option. In response to questions from Councilman Stadick about changing the intersection to a four-way traffic stop, Brent Orton reported that no consideration has been given to a four-way stop at the intersection due to additional safety factors with that method of traffic co ntrol. In response to question from Councilman Callsen, Mr. Wagoner stated that a development agreement could be required. A development agreement would be recorded and therefore remains with the land. The Mayor read through the names listed on the sign -up list and clarified those who desired to speak. Denise Ard stated that she had not been sworn in. The Mayor directed the Clerk for swear in Ms. Ard. Larry Hayes, applicant’s representative at 6107 Carson Court, Nampa, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in favor of the application. He stated that traffic is increasing daily within the area and is a safety concern at the subject intersection. By allowing development, the intersection would be safer for traffic. He BOOK 59 PAGE 79 stated that the applicant concurs with the proposed uses of the parcels as previously outlined by Mr. Wagoner. The proposed use includes one acre for commercial and the other two acres being developed with residential multi-family apartments. The Mayor stated that the two photographs provided by Mr. Hayes would be labeled as CC-1000. Mayor Nancolas questioned the use of community commercial zoning for high-density residential use as stated by the applicant’s representative. Mr. Wagoner clarified that the high-density residential zoning designation is an allowed use within all commercial zones. In response to questions from Councilman Callsen, Mr. Wagoner clarified that the code allows for 25 housing units per acre, which could be built as four-plex or twelve-plex units as determined by the developer. In response to questions by Councilman Stadick as to how the proposed development would improve the dangerous intersection, Mr. Hayes reported that a traffic signal would improve the intersection. Mr. Wagoner clarified that there is no traffic signal requirement associated with this application. Turn lane requirements has been included within the staff report. Mr. Orton reported that the use of the parcel must be determined before a traffic impact study would be generated for the intersection. Mitigation concerning traffic impact would be based on the determined use. Mr. Wagoner clarified that no specific use has been provided by the developer at this time. Chris Hayes, 348 W. Cub Street, Meridian, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in favor of the application. He addressed other commercial development within the area, which are in agreement within the comprehensive plan. The development will provide the opportunity for neighborhood residents to utilize the services at this location rather than seeking a higher congested area. Tim Graber, 706 E Chole Hills, Meridian, acknowledge being sworn in and spoke in favor of the application. He reported that he is a certified commercial investment broker as well as certified property manager. He commented that the highest and best use for the property would be retail and affordable housing. Apartment vacancies are low within the area. He recommended approval of the request. Alvin Powell 4706 Lake Avenue , acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in favor of the request. He noted that the parcel is too small to farm and therefore a convenience store and apartment complex at the location would be a good use for the area. Wanda O’Dell, 12914 Alexa Street, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in opposition to the request. She expressed concern regarding traffic impact to the area, incompatibility with existing single-family residences, an increase of crime with the possible construction of a mini-market, impact on the water table for the surrounding residences due to a commercial development at the site, and the noise and light pollution associated with a commercial development. Councilman Callsen reported that the development would be required to connect to City water, if approved. Ms. O’Dell inquired as to possible leakage of gas into the existing wells surrounding the site. Councilman Callsen reported that gas tanks are engineered to protect against leakage. Larry O’Dell, 12914 Alexa Street, signed in opposition to the development but did not speak. Richard Hall, 16741 Ardyce Avenue, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in opposition to the request. He presented a packet of information, which the Mayor labeled as CC-1001. He expressed concern with the incompatibility of a commercial development in association with the City of Caldwell’s comprehensive plan map. The parcel is currently zoned agricultural with in Canyon County. He referenced accident reports through Canyon County and the City of Caldwell as provided within the exhibit packet. Since 2008, nine accidents were reported by the City of Caldwell Police Department and 75 accidents reported by the Canyon County Sheriff’s Department, which equates to 7.5 accidents per year. The development does not include any plan to improve the intersection. The developer has stated his desire to construct 36 residential units per acre. The current allowance under medium residential only allows 10 units per acre as a mixed use; therefore, the proposed development does not concur with City standards. In response to questions from Mayor Nancolas, Mr. Hall confirmed that the residences located on the southwest corner of the intersection are all single-family. He noted that Windsor Creek Subdivision will increase from 200 homes to 400 homes upon completion of the next construction phase.

ANN-18-03 [POWELL ANNEXATION] WITH A REQUEST TO WAIVE THE RULES, PASS ON THE FIRST READING, AND APPROVE THE SUMMARY FOR PUBLICATION) No action was taken on Ordinance No. 3144 since the request for annexation (ANN-18-03) due to the denial of the request. (CONSIDER BILL NO. 18 [ORDINANCE NO. 3148] TO AMEND THE CALDWELL CITY CODE 09-07-13(1) REGARDING PARKING LIMITATIONS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, WITH A REQUEST TO WAIVE THE RULES AND PASS ON THE FIRST READING) The Mayor read the ordinance by title only: AN ORDINANCE ENACTED BY THE CALDWELL CITY COUNCIL AMENDING CALDWELL CITY CODE §09-07-13(1) REGARDING PARKING LIMITATIONS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES, RESOLUTIONS, ORDERS, AND PARTS THEREOF IN CONFLICT HEREWITH. Keri Sigman, Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Caldwell at 411 Blaine Street, provided the staff report. The ordinance was drafted after conversations were held with the local business owners within the downtown as well as future downtown development. Ms. Sigman s ummarized previous comments from the workshop held on June 4th. Ms. Sigman provided a copy of the downtown parking map including the recently formulated parking adjacent to the railroad tracks from 5th from 12th Avenue, on-street parking, and the shared public parking allocated for Treasure Valley Community College. Total parking spaces: 366 public lot spaces, 657 street parking spaces, 141 TVCC public parking spaces, and 530 spaces located within private parking lots. She addressed the following concerns:  Allowance of four or more hours for on-street parking spaces: Contact has been made with various business owners explaining the need for employees to possibly utilize the railroad track parking areas thereby allowing for extended parking.  Recommendation for the issuance of parking permits: Time limitations will be posted within the railroad track parking areas. The City Code addresses time limits for public parking area stating that no-overnight parking is allowed. Timed parking and or parking permits could be managed by the Caldwell Traffic Commission if Council desires to exercise such an option. The Mayor expressed concern with enforcement of this potential option.  Specified Drop Zones: There are two specified drop and pick-up zones – one for the theater and one for the Indian Creek Plaza. Brent Orton reported that an ADA survey project was conducted a few years by City staff. Several ADA spots were designated on the street in the downtown area. Research will be conducted to verify that the ADA spaces were restored after the downtown area was repaved after the initial survey was completed. Several street lights were also added at the time to made the ADA spaces useable. Councilman Pollard reported that there are only three (3) ADA spaces on Main Street and only one space on Kimball Avenue. Mr. Orton reported that due to traffic flow on 5 th Avenue and Kimball Avenue, ADA spaces should be minimized. He noted that there is an ADA space in front of the post office as well. Ms. Sigman reported that handicapped parking was added around the movie theatre but not shown on the map exhibit. Possibly other ADA spaces have not been included as well. Councilman Hopper emphasized the need for adequate and accessible parking within the downtown. Mr. Orton reported that the building code stipulates the number of adequate parking spaces for a given use. Discussion followed. Mr. Orton reviewed the duties of the Traffic Commission dealing with the control of parking lots. It is the intention of the Traffic Commission to make recommendations to City Council for regulations that would apply to parking lots and be adopted by resolution. Currently, citizens are parking recreational vehicles and trailers in the City parking areas. This matter needs immediate attention. Overnight parking will be prohibited. BOOK 59 PAGE 83 Councilman Callsen suggested that the Caldwell Police Department monitor overnight parking if it involves leaving a vehicle for safety reasons. Councilman Allgood and Councilman Pollard expressed concern that the Caldwell Police Department lacks manpower to monitor parking violations. He noted that currently there are overnight parking violations within the new railroad parking spaces. Such violations need to be addressed immediately. Councilman Hopper suggested that such enforcement could be addressed through municipal code enforcement, not by a police officer. Councilman Allgood stated that he concurred with Mayor Nancolas to keep the procedure simple allowing three (3) hour parking on the street and no overnight parking. In response to questions from Councilman Pollard regarding parking signage, Mr. Orton responded th at the signage issue is under staff review at this time. Councilman Pollard stated that the signage matter needs to be determined as soon as possible. The Mayor emphasized that downtown signage is a priority dealing with parking, events, and way finding. Discussion followed concerning the designated parking area as outlined within City Code and the need of a joint-use agreement for a designated parking for the proposed downtown development at 7th and Main as well as downtown housing units. The Mayor clarified that the railroad parking is intended for downtown business employees, retail businesses, the movie theater, restaurant patrons, and plaza event attendees. The on -street parking is premium parking since it is located in front of specific businesses . On-street parking must have time limitations (3 hours) so the specific businesses do not suffer due to parking violations. There should be recognition given to some specific uses (residential and the potential hotel) where allowances should be addressed through an agreement dealing with right-of-way usage. It was recommended by City Attorney Aaron Seable that staff be directed to provide two sets of ordinances for Council’s consideration – one with strikeouts and underlines for the purpose of comparison and a clean copy for the purpose of codification. MOVED by Pollard, SECONDED by Callsen to continue this matter to the next Regularly Scheduled City Council Meeting to be held on July 2, 2018 with the understanding that staff will revise the ordinance by clarifying requirements per tonight’s discussion and provide such changes in an underlined/strike-through method in context with the existing City Code.
