Council approves annexation of 0.52‑acre outparcel with frontage conditions
Summary
Council approved annexation of a 0.52‑acre outparcel into Caldwell with initial zoning approved as R‑1 and conditions including paving driveway access, frontage improvements and a landscaping requirement to match nearby frontage where practicable.
Councilors approved annexation of an outparcel (0.52 acre, addressed on Piaggio Way) into the city after hearing from the applicant’s representative and staff. The parcel, an ‘‘outparcel’’ left inside a surrounding subdivision, contains an existing single‑family residence; the owner seeks municipal water and sewer connections.
Staff recommended the annexation and found that either R‑1 or R‑2 zoning would be compatible with the City’s Neighborhood 2 place type; the applicant indicated no objection to R‑1. Staff conditioned approval on frontage improvements, including paving the access driveway at least 25 feet into the site, and recommended the applicant work with staff on consistency with neighboring landscaping. Council asked staff and the applicant to return with any necessary clarifications; the council approved the annexation and initial zoning as R‑1 and authorized the ordinance to proceed.
During discussion councilors noted a narrow strip of city right‑of‑way adjacent to the sidewalk that currently appears unlandscaped; staff said city code requires landscaping for subdivisions but not for individual single‑family lots, and council added a condition to provide landscape improvements as close as practicable to existing frontage within 12 months of annexation.
