The applicant proposes a 194-home single-family subdivision called Westbilt Estates on about 66 acres on the west side of Lake Avenue, roughly 1/3 mile south of Karcher in Caldwell. The request would annex one 30.55-acre parcel into the city and rezone a 35.70-acre parcel to R-2 residential zoning. The subdivision would be built in five phases, with a pool, playground, pickleball court and a public pathway along the Phyllis Canal.

Annexation of parcel R3282501200 with a zoning designation of R-2, and a rezone of parcel R3282501100 from RS-2 to R-2, where both parcels are identified as Neighborhood 2 in the Comprehensive Plan and R-2 is a compatible zoning designation. Concurrently, the applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for WestBilt Estates Subdivision, a single-family residential subdivision with 194 buildable lots. The 65.83 acre development is located on the west side of Lake Ave. at the intersection with Cirrus Dr., approximately 1,700 feet south of Karcher Rd, in Caldwell, Idaho. The application was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
