Developer Sabrina Durchey presents Enclave Subdivision plans to Caldwell City Council

A proposed development in Caldwell, Idaho, is set to reshape local traffic patterns and enhance community living. During the City Council meeting on July 8, 2025, the Enclave Subdivision was presented as a thoughtfully planned community that aims to provide a mix of residential and commercial spaces while addressing traffic concerns in the area.

Sabrina Durchey, the applicant, outlined the vision for the Enclave Subdivision, which includes 152 single-family homes and five commercial lots. The project is designed to foster a strong sense of community with ample open spaces and amenities, including parks and pathways. The development will also feature a bridge over a drainage area, which is expected to alleviate traffic congestion by providing residents with multiple access points to the surrounding road network.

City officials noted that while the proposed development will increase traffic, the net increase is estimated to be minimal—only about 13 additional trips per day. This is due to the nature of single-family homes generating more traffic than other residential types. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has indicated that no additional traffic mitigations are required, as existing plans already address potential concerns.

The Enclave Subdivision is strategically located along Highway 55, a vital economic corridor for Caldwell. The proposal includes two access points to the highway, designed to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026 or early 2027, depending on market conditions.

Durchey emphasized the importance of open space in the design, with 6.1 acres dedicated to parks and recreational areas. The development aims to create a welcoming environment for future residents, integrating commercial development with residential living.

As the project moves forward, it promises to not only enhance the local landscape but also improve traffic conditions for existing residents, making it a significant addition to the Caldwell community.
