From the filing
The application's description as it appears in Canyon County's record. See the official record
The property owner wants a county permit to use about 1 acre of a 5.95-acre agricultural parcel at 17665 Upper Pleasant Ridge Road near Caldwell as a staging area and contractor shop for a fencing and landscaping business. The plan includes a new metal shop and a 6-foot sight-obscuring fence around equipment storage, with 10 employees and no customers on site. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the permit in December 2025, and the owner is appealing that denial to the county commissioners.
