Homes on small commercial lot sought through development agreement change

The application's description as it appears in City of Caldwell's record. See the official record

The property owner asks the City of Caldwell to change the development agreement for a vacant 0.4-acre commercial lot at the southwest corner of Ustick Road and Solstice Avenue in the Solstice Subdivision. The change would allow homes (single-family, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and small-scale apartments) on the lot, which is zoned for neighborhood commercial. No site plan was submitted; staff conditioned the lot to 3 to 6 homes if any are built.

Approval of a development agreement modification for the existing Solstice Subdivision Development Agreement, recorded by instrument number 2022-026412. The applicant requests Lot 2, Block 1 (parcel R2495710100) of Solstice Subdivision to allow the following uses: Single family dwelling (detached), single family dwelling (attached), two-plex dwelling, tri-plex dwelling, four-plex dwelling, and Multi-family Apartments (small scale). Residential uses will be limited to no more than 50% of the total land uses on Lot 2, Block 1. The parcel is zoned C-1, neighborhood commercial, and residential uses are currently prohibited in that zone. The 0.39 acre site is located on the south side of E. Ustick Rd., approximately 1,000 feet west of the intersection with Lake Ave.
