Caldwell, ID Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Chapter 10, Article 14 of the Caldwell City Code sets minimum site and open space design standards for multi-family developments, and City Code § 10-14-01(5) adds a menu of amenities every qualifying project must draw from. ' No single item in the list is mandatory on its own; a developer only has to select enough total amenities to satisfy the count set by subsection (5)B. A project with fewer than 20 units must provide two amenities from two separate categories, a project of 20 to 100 units needs three amenities from separate categories, and a project of 100 to 150 units needs four amenities with at least one from each category.

Above 150 units, the decision-making body sets additional amenities scaled to the project's size. Because EV charging sits inside the optional multi-modal category alongside three other choices, a Caldwell multi-family developer can satisfy the entire amenity requirement without installing a single charging station, and Caldwell imposes no number-of-spaces or charging-capacity standard tied specifically to electric vehicles. The decision-making body, under subsection (5)C, can also accept a substitute improvement that provides a similar level of amenity. Ordinance 3672, passed April 21, 2025, adopted this article's current site and open-space design language.
