Hearing examiner approves special-use permit for duplex at 2418 Ellis Ave.
Summary
The hearing examiner approved SUP24-23 permitting a duplex at 2418 Ellis Ave. Staff said utilities and access are in place; the approval is subject to plan adjustments including landscaping and a material break on the south elevation.
The City of Caldwell hearing examiner approved a special-use permit Dec. 3 for a two-family dwelling (duplex) at 2418 Ellis Avenue (case SUP24-23). Joe Dodson, senior planner, reported the site is in an R-1 zone and that the building permit was initially filed in error; staff reviewed the site plan and found utilities, access, and other infrastructure available but recommended conditions related to landscaping, fence location and a material break on the south elevation to add visual interest.
"This is a special use permit, an SUP, to do a 2 family dwelling or a duplex within the R-1 zone," Dodson said, describing required landscape easements and design adjustments. Applicant Enoch Worth said he and the builder had worked with staff to resolve prior lot-split right-of-way issues, that neighbors attended a meeting and were generally receptive, and that required changes (landscape plan and revised rear elevation) will be submitted before final permits are issued. The examiner closed testimony and approved SUP24-23 subject to the conditions discussed and as set out in the staff report.
Next steps: Applicant must resubmit building-permit documents to reflect the plan changes required by staff and obtain final plan approval and permits before starting construction.
