Caldwell council adopts new comprehensive plan after months of revisions, 4-2 vote
Summary
The Caldwell City Council voted 4-2 to repeal and replace the city's comprehensive plan, a multi-year update that changes future land-use designations, reduces some maximum densities and sets new policy direction for growth and infrastructure. The council and staff said code changes will follow and require separate review.
The Caldwell City Council adopted a new comprehensive plan for the city on Feb. 18, 2025, repealing the prior plan and replacing it with the document presented by city planning staff.
The council approved Resolution No. 63-25 by a 4-2 roll-call vote. Councilors Dody, Williams and Dittenburg voted in favor; Councilors Stoddick and Register voted against; the mayor cast the deciding vote in favor, producing the 4-2 result.
The plan rewrites the city's future land-use map, including a staff-change to pull the planning boundary back from Chicken Dinner Road to Wagner Road in one area, and proposes lower maximum densities in many residential place types while keeping modest increases in select zones. Planning staff told council the Simplot corridor had been revised from a mixed-use designation to an employment-center place type to reflect prevailing industrial uses.
