Nampa
Homebuilder Corey Barton seeks to develop two properties in Nampa.
One, Wood Poppy, would be located on Northside Boulevard and include 74 apartments. The other would be the nearby Valente Subdivision, located at the southeast corner of Ustick Road and Northside Boulevard. It would include 116 houses on 37.7 acres.
The Valente Subdivision would “provide homes for Nampa’s growing population,” wrote Jarom Wagoner, representing Barton, in the application. Wagoner is the mayor of Caldwell.
Wood Poppy was denied by the Nampa City Council in February but is scheduled to be reconsidered.
Wagoner wrote in the application that Barton would limit the buildings on the east boundary to be more compatible with the one-family homes next to the project. The eastern buildings would be one-story duplexes.
The Nampa development staff wrote that the annexation of Wood Poppy would create a path to annexation for Valente.
Both proposals are scheduled for the Nampa City Council to consider at 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 4, at City Hall.

Micron Technology Inc. reported sharply stronger sales in its latest quarter than in the same quarter a year ago.
The Boise memory-chip manufacturer reported $7.79 billion in revenue, compared with $6.24 billion a year earlier. Its net income, or profit, rose from $603 million a year ago to $2.26 billion in the latest quarter.
“Micron’s excellent second quarter results exceeded the high end of our guidance for both revenue and margin, reflecting our strong execution,” CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a news release. “We’re leading the industry in technology across DRAM and NAND, and our product portfolio momentum is accelerating.”
DRAM, dynamic random-access memory, provides temporary storage and is Micron’s principal product. NAND, a contraction of the mathematical term not-and, is a type of memory, also called flash memory, that provides permanent storage. Both types of memory are common in phones, computers and other devices.
Micron is the largest U.S. maker of memory chips.
