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

KB Homes wants to rearrange lots and open space in the unbuilt part of the Reflections Edge subdivision along Indian Creek, off E Railroad St in Nampa, because protected wetlands can't be built on. The amended plan has 160 single-family homes on 52.3 acres, 14 fewer than previously approved, with more open space and pathways.

Amended Preliminary Plat for Phases 5 and 6 of Reflections Edge subdivision due to road layout changes and wetlands boundaries. The subject parcels were previously approved as Reflections Edge Subdivision under applications. ZMA-165-21 and SPP-102-21 which included a Zoning Map Amendment to RS 4, RS 6, RS 7, RP and BC zoning designations (shown in the exhibits below) and a preliminary plat for 362 residential, 1 commercial and 25 non-buildable lots on 97.80 acres. The subject area was previously approved within Phase 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (shown in red below). Phases 1, 2, 3, and 5 as shown on the original Preliminary Plat have been final platted and recorded under Reflections Edge Subdivisions No. 1-4. KB Home now desires to amend the previously approved preliminary plat to better accommodate the wetlands along Indian Creek within the subject area. The revisions include layout updates, revised amenities, 11 fewer residential lots, and roadway realignments as further described below. The subject area will also be developed in only two phases now, Phase 5 will include the 80 lots south of Big Wood River Drive and Phase 6 will include 83 lots north of Big Wood River Drive.
