2019-09-17 COMPASSCommunities in Motion 2040 2.0 Development Review The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for Ada and Canyon Counties. COMPASS has developed this review as a tool for local governments to evaluate whether land developments are consistent with the goals of Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 (CIM 2040), the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather a guidance document based on CIM 2040 2.0 goals. Recommendations Eagle Road is identified in the COMPASS Transportation Improvement Program as a project to commence in 2020 (Key #RD207-33). This project will widen Eagle Road from Amity Road to Victory Road to five lanes with curb- gutter, sidewalk, and bike lanes. Eagle Road is planned as a regional bicycle corridor in Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 plan. The proposal requests additional vehicle access to Eagle Road and Victory Road, both arterials. Consider reducing access locations on Eagle Road and/or requiring right in/right out access only. Additional access locations can reduce efficiency and decrease safety on the corridor. The proposal is a mix of residential and retail, which can mitigate congestion by encouraging non-motorized travel. Public, stub roads to the north are critical to provide future connectivity. The site is not currently served by public transportation. ValleyConnect 2.0 plans for routes in south Meridian however, bus stops would be one mile or more from the site, so the Senior Living Community will not be able to be served by ACCESS paratransit services.

Development in farm areas decreases the productivity and sustainability of farmland. Farmland consumed: No Farmland within 1 mile: 223 acres Housing within 1 mile: 3,150 Jobs within 1 mile: 4,090 Jobs/Housing Ratio: 1.3 Nearest bus stop: 3.1 miles Nearest public school: 0.6 miles Nearest public park: 0.4 miles Nearest grocery store: 2.9 miles CIM Corridor: Victory Road Pedestrian level of stress: PG-13 Bicycle level of stress: R A good jobs/housing balance – a ratio between 1 and 1.5 – reduces traffic congestion. Higher numbers indicate the need for more housing and lower numbers indicate an employment need. Residents who live or work less than ½ mile from critical services have more transportation choices. Walking and biking reduces congestion by taking cars off the road, while supporting a healthy and active lifestyle. Level of Stress considers facility type, number of vehicle lanes, and speed. Roads with G or PG ratings better support bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and comfort levels. Nearest police station: 2.9 miles Nearest fire station: 0.5 miles Developments within 1.5 miles of police and fire stations ensure that emergency services are more efficient and reduce the cost of these important public services.
