All plans and documents shall be labeled according to the City of Caldwell Planning and Zoning Document Naming Schematic.

Revised Plans or Document Submissions:  All revised plans shall be re-submitted through the online portal by going to your application and clicking on it, then hitting the "upload documents" button.  NOTE:  The software provider recommends utilizing Google Chrome.  If you have any issues uploading documents on the portal, please contact the support line at 1-800-325-9818.   

All plans and documents shall be labeled according to the City of Caldwell Planning and Zoning Document Naming Schematic.

Application Prescreening:  Once your application and required documents have been submitted, submittals will go through an initial pre-screening process to check to ensure all required documents as listed on the checklists have been completed in their entirety and that all documents and plans are in a high-quality legible format.  An application submission WILL NOT be considered accepted and date stamped until it has completed the pre-screening process.

Scheduling Initial Hearing Dates:  The date of acceptance of an application is the date used to meet hearing deadlines for scheduling the initial TENTATIVE public hearing date.   PLEASE NOTE:  Hearing dates ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR DELAY based on the following:

  • Current application backlog
  • Number of hearings already scheduled for a particular date (only 2-3 hearings are scheduled per meeting)
  • Outstanding redlines or correction items
  • A land use application that was continued to a future hearing date (this may cause your application to get bumped out further)
