Page I 1 Planning and Zoning Minutes 2. ACTION ITEM: Case Number OA-20-02: A request by the City of Caldwell Planning and Zoning Department to make changes to Chapter 10, Article 02, Section 10-02-02 of the Caldwell City Code, making changes to certain uses in the land use schedule. Testimony: Mr.Jerome Mapp,Director, 621 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, Idaho,stated that our current ordinance, multi-family units are allowed in industrial zones without any formal review. We found this out earlier this year when a PUD came forward with a request for multi-family units on a residential lot. Right after that,they noticed there were a number of multi-family units being built in commercial zones. We are losing prime commercial area to residential. Not that they are opposed to it but rather we need a landscaping plan,we don't know what kind of materials are being placed on the structure,and is it compatible to the existing commercial around it.We felt,as a team,there were conflicts outright allowing the multi-family. Planning and Zoning suggests we amend our ordinance to require a special use permit for any 4-plex or above. We found in the R-3 zone for triplexes that they were being permitted as well. A lot of the developers were also trying to put more units on the site and had setbacks at a minimum but there was a lack of open space,and landscaping wasn't being provided. These uses are also being allowed in Industrial areas. Industrial uses generally have major truck traffic and/or assembly and manufacturing that sometimes can be an issue. We propose the attached land use schedule. Regarding manufacture home parks- current parks would be able to replace units,but no new manufactured home parks or PUD's would be allowed in an industrial zone. Commissioner Zamora asked for clarification on why a manufactured home was a special use permit in industrial if a manufactured home park was not allowed. Deb Root,Senior Planner,replied that we can't discriminate against someone living in a manufactured home,we would consider that the same as single family residential. Comp Plan Analysis: The Caldwell Planning and Zoning Commission accepts the Conclusions of Law components as listed. MOTION: Commissioner Zamora. SECOND: Commissioner Page. Passed: Unanimous voice vote. RECOMMENDATION FOR OA-20-02 (Ordinance Amendment) MOTION: Commissioner Zamora that Case Number OA-20-02 be approved with the modification: R-3 for 4, 5 and 6 family dwellings and multi-family dwellings go from permitted to special use permit and in regards to manufactured home parks and PUD (residential) those will go from a special use permit to not permitted.

Testimony: Mr. Jerome Mapp, 621 Cleveland Blvd, Caldwell, Idaho stated the Planning Director has the task to prepare and present cases before the Design Review Commission. The Design Review Commission hears cases in the City core. The process has been that they review all land use applications; signs, canopies,landscaping issues, design of buildings no matter how small that may be. All those go through the Design Review Commission. The main design issues that usually come into effect is dealing with new structures. At this time, we don't have new structures. Staff does not have the authority to approve these cases. With staff level design review it gives the planning director the discretion to decide if it should go to commission or if it can just go to the director.
