Application H-2018-0077 CUP
Project Name ZION BANK DRIVE THROUGH
Project Location 1767 West Island Green Drive, north of US-20/26 milepost 37.16
Project Description
Conditional use permit for a drive-through establishment within 300 feet of a residential
district and existing residences
Applicant Tom Lennon
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) reviewed the conditional use permit application and has the following
comments:
1. This project does not abut the State highway system.
2. No access is requested and none is approved with this application.
3. ITD has completed a corridor study of US-20/26. The corridor study shows the future corridor at this
intersection will have a Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI) that may require expansion on the northern
leg of the intersection. A view of the corridor study plan for this area can be found at:
http://apps.itd.idaho.gov/apps/us2026CorridorStudy/default.html
4. The City is reminded that the US-20/26 corridor is already congested. This project will increase the
number of vehicle trips in the corridor. As the City continues to add additional trips to the corridor
through development, the congestion will worsen until the roadway system is ultimately overloaded and
fails. ITD has no current funding assigned to mitigate traffic congestion in the US-20/26 corridor in this
area.
5. Idaho Code 40-1910 does not allow advertising within the right-of-way of any State highway.
