Planning Commission backlog
Caldwell Planning & Zoning Commission holds frequent meetings into 2026 with agendas including urban renewal plans and annexations, indicating potential delays in approvals. Diligence requires checking latest agendas at cityofcaldwell.org before LOI.
Annexation ordinance uncertainty
City Council considering Ordinance No. 3730 annexing Cedars Subdivision Phase 4 into Municipal Irrigation District as of Dec 2025, risking jurisdiction confusion on pre-annexation parcels. Verify AOI status and permits via city council minutes before land acquisition.
ADU utility hookup cost
Caldwell's 2025 ADU ordinance update removed owner-occupancy requirements but did not address utility hookup cost transparency. Infill projects incorporating ADUs must verify water/sewer capacity and connection fees with Building Safety Division before pro forma finalization.
Idaho SB 1354/1352 transition
Idaho's starter-home density allowance (SB 1352, effective July 1, 2026) and related housing-supply statute (SB 1354) may alter local zoning and impact fees. Monitor Caldwell's implementation timeline and conformity with state preemption before finalizing infill site plans.
