A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval of a rezone from WE (Mixed
Employment)to R-15 (Medium-High Density Residential) to allow for the future development of a
preliminary plat on 9.8 acres. This application also includes a comprehensive plan amendment
and a modification to an existing development agreement with the City of Meridian to allow
residential development on the site. The applicant's proposal is not consistent with the City of
Meridian's Comprehensive Plan which designates this area as Mixed Employment (School).
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:

1 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
3. Site History: ACHD previously reviewed this site as MER18-0062 / H-2018-0048 in June 2018.
The requirements of this staff report have been updated to reflect the current proposal for the
site.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
• Compass Charter School, a K-12 charter school, located southwest of the site was approved
by ACHD in June 2018.
• Compass Charter School East Expansion, a parking lot and recreational facilities addition,
located south of the site was approved by ACHD in May 2020.
5. Transit: Transit services are available to serve this site via routes 40 and 42.
6. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use
paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared
use path.
AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection
Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side.
The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the
bottom of the ramp.
7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0 centerline miles of new public
road.
8. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD.
9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Franklin Road to Cherry
Lane between 2031-2035.
• Black Cat Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from Overland Road to Franklin
Road between 2036 to 2040.
• Franklin Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 5-lanes from McDermott Road to Black Cat
Road between 2026-2030.
10. Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan: ACHD's Roadways to Bikeways Master Plan (BMP) was
adopted by the ACHD Commission in May of 2009 and was update in 2018. The plan seeks to
implement the Planned Bicycle Network to support bicycling as a viable transportation option for
Ada County residents with a wide range of ages and abilities, maintain bicycle routes in a state of
good repair in order to ensure they are consistently available for use, promote awareness of existing
bicycle routes and features and support encouragement programs and to facilitate coordination and
cooperation among local jurisdictions in implementing the Roadways to Bikeways Plan
recommendations.
2 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
The BMP identifies Black Cat Road as a Level 3 facility and Franklin Road as a level 2 facility that
will be constructed as part of a future ACHD project. The BMP also identifies level 1 facilities on
the new collector roadways within the site. The applicant will construct the new collectors consistent
with the MSM and the Roadways to Bikeways Master plan.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: Below is a chart with the land use and estimated trip generation rates for the use
that may be included within the site. Trip generation rates are based on the Institute of
Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, loth edition.
Use Avg. Daily Trips Avg. PM Peak Hour
Single Family Detached 9.44 1.00
per unit
Multi-Family Housing Low 7.32 0.56
Rise (per unit)
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)
Roadway Frontage Functional PM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Classification Traffic Count Level of Service
Black Cat Road 0-feet Minor Arterial 446 Better than "E"
Aviator Street 823-feet Collector N/A N/A
•Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is "E" (575 VPH).
* Acceptable level of service for a two-lane collector is "D" (425 VPH).
3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
• The average daily traffic count for Black Cat Road north of Franklin Road was 8,667 on
07/15/20.
• There are no current traffic counts for Aviator Street.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Maximum Traffic on One Access Point
a. Existing Conditions: Aviator Street is classified as a collector roadway.
b. Policy:
Maximum Traffic on One Access Point: District policy 7206.3.2 states that if a proposed
development only has one access to a public street that it a collector street or if it proposed to
extend public street from existing development with only one local street access to the public
street system, the maximum forecast ADT allowed at any point on the collector street access is
3,000 and is subject to fire department requirements for the provision of a secondary access.
This volume maybe reduced or increased based on information received from the lead land use
agency, the applicable fire department, and/or emergency services. The District will also take
into consideration the following items when determining whether or not to reduce or increase
the maximum allowable ATD: railroad crossings, canal crossings, topography (foothills vs. flat
land), pedestrian connectivity, location of schools, etc.
3 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Access to the site is provided via Aviator Street which
is classified as a local roadway. ACHD policy allows up to 3,000 vehicle trips per day on a
collector roadway. This development may be limited based on the existing ADT on Aviator
Street.
2. Aviator Street
a. Existing Conditions: Aviator Street does not exist abutting the site, but stubs to the site's west
property line and is improved with 2-travel lanes and no curb, gutter and sidewalk abutting the
western portion of the site. Aviator Street terminates in an offset temporary turnaround on the
site. . There is 55-feet of right-of-way for Aviator Street(28-feet from centerline)west of the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required
below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector
street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered
for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map,
then standard street sections shall serve as the default.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard
right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location
and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may
be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case
the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back-of-
curb on each side.
The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). This width typically
accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left-turn lane, and bike
lanes.
Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section
for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District
will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking
into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for
bicycle lanes, and on-street parking.
Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to
be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between
the back-of-curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and
protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed
within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back-of-curb shall be a minimum of
7-feet wide.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
4 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7207.2.2 required improvements shall consist of pavement
widening to one-half the required width, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk (minimum
5-feet), plus 12-feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the
street to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate
centerline. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway
storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side.
ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map
(MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway
features required through development. This segment of Aviator Street is designated in the
MSM as a Towncenter Collector with 2-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 36-foot street section
within 54-feet of right-of-way.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of a future development application, the
applicant should be required to removed the existing temporary turnaround and to extend
Aviator Street into the site as half of a 36-foot wide collector street section with vertical curb,
gutter, and 5-foot wide detached (or 7-foot wide attached concrete) sidewalk, plus an additional
12-feet of pavement to total 30-feet of pavement with a 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a barrow
ditch on the south side of the roadway abutting the site to match the existing improvements
west of the site.
The MSM shows that Aviator Street stubs to the east property line. If the roadway is extended
in its current configuration the extension of the roadway would be difficult and expensive due to
the need to cross Purdam Gulch Drain in a few locations. To allow for future extension of Aviator
Street in the future staff recommends that the roadway be moved north into the site and stubbed
to the east property line.

3. Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no local roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths
for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47-feet wide and that the standard street
section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb).
Standard Urban Local Street-33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-
curb)for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section
shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall
typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way.
Continuation of Streets Policy: District Policy 7207.2.4 states that an existing street, or a
street in an approved preliminary plat, which ends at a boundary of a proposed development
shall be extended in that development. The extension shall include provisions for continuation
of storm drainage facilities. Benefits of connectivity include but are not limited to the following:
6 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
• Reduces vehicle miles traveled.
• Increases pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.
• Increases access for emergency services.
• Reduces need for additional access points to the arterial street system.
• Promotes the efficient delivery of services including trash, mail and deliveries.
• Promotes appropriate intra-neighborhood traffic circulation to schools, parks,
neighborhood commercial centers, transit stops, etc.
• Promotes orderly development.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local
jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway
strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of
the parkway strip.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of a future development application, the
applicant should be required to design and construct the internal local streets as 33-foot wide
street sections with curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right of
way.
4. Alleys
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing alleys within the site.
b. Policy:
New Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.3.1 requires the minimum right-of-way width for all new
residential alleys shall be a minimum of 16-feet or a maximum of 20-feet. If the residential alley
is 16-feet in width building setbacks required by the land use agency having jurisdiction shall
provide sufficient space for the safe backing of vehicles into the alley (see Section 7210.3.3).
The minimum right-of-way width for all new commercial or mixed-use alleys shall be 20-feet.
All alleys shall be improved by paving the full width and length of the right-of-way.
Dedication of clear title to the right-of-way and the improvement of the alley, and acceptance of
the improvement by the District as meeting its construction standards, are required for all alleys
contained in a proposed development.
Existing Alley Policy: District Policy 7210.2 states that if a proposed development abuts an
existing alley, the dedication of additional right-of-way to obtain a minimum width from the
centerline of the alley of 8-feet for residential uses and 10-feet for non-residential or commercial
uses may be required. Each development will be reviewed by the District on a case-by-case
7 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
basis. If the proposed development takes access from an alley, the developer will be required
to pave the entire width of the right-of-way from the nearest public street to and abutting the
development.
Alley Length Policy: District Policy 7210.3.2 states that alleys shall be no longer than 700-
feet in length. If the lead land use agency having jurisdiction requires a shorter block length, the
alley shall be no longer than the agency's required block length.
Alley Parking & Setbacks Policy: District Policy 7210.3.3 states that parking within the alley
right-of-way is prohibited. "No Parking" signs are required to be installed by the developer. The
signs should be located at the alley/street intersections. Parking which is entered from the alley
shall be designed so the minimum clear distance from the back of the parking stall to the
opposite side of the alley is 20-feet for all perpendicular parking.
Setbacks for structures taking access from the alley should be closely coordinated with the lead
land use agency. The setbacks shall either discourage parking within the alley (where it may
partially block or occur within the right-of-way) or allow adequate area for one perpendicular
parking pad. In order to discourage parking, building setbacks shall be minimal from the alley
right-of-way line, while still achieving the required 20-feet of back-up space from a garage or
other parking structure to the opposite side of the alley (i.e. 4-foot setback + 16-foot alley= 20-
feet for back-up space).
Alley Intersections and Offsets Policy: District policy 7210.3.7 states that alleys should
intersect public streets at each end. In specific circumstances as outlined in the policies below,
the District may consider allowing an alley to intersect a public street at only one end. A 90-
degree angle of intersection shall be designed where practical. In no case shall the intersecting
angle be less than 75-degrees, as measured from centerline of intersecting street. An access
to an alley shall be located a minimum of 50-feet from the nearest street (measured centerline
to centerline).
Alley/Local Street Intersections Policy: District Policy 7210.3.7.2 states that alleys may
intersect all types of local streets including minor local streets. Alleys shall generally be
designed with a curb cut type approach when intersecting a local street. Alleys shall generally
intersect streets in the middle of the block equally offsetting the intersecting streets. Alleys shall
either align with alley/street intersections or provide a minimum 100-foot offset (measured
centerline to centerline) from other local street intersections. For alley intersections with local
streets, the District may consider a reduced offset if the lead land use agency's required lot size
allows for shorter buildable lots.
Vacations of Alleys Policy: District Policy 7210.3.6 states that vacations of alley right-of-way
are discouraged and shall not result in dead-end alleys.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of a future development application, the
applicant should be required to design and construct future alleys as a 16 to 20-foot wide paved
alley section not to exceed 700-feet. The applicant should be required to install "No Parking"
signs at alley/street intersections.
5. Roadway Offsets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing roadways within the site.
b. Policy:
Collector Offset Policy:
District policy 7206.4.5, states that the preferred spacing for a new local street intersecting a
collector roadway to align or offset a minimum of 330-feet from any other street (measured
centerline to centerline).
8 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
Local Offset Policy: District policy 7207.4.2, requires local roadways to align or provide a
minimum offset of 125-feet from any other street (measured centerline to centerline).
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of a future development application, the
applicant should be required to offset all local street sections intersecting the future collector
street (Aviator Street) at least 330-feet.
6. Driveways
5.1 Internal Local Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing driveways within the site.
b. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways near intersections to be
located a minimum of 75-feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the nearest local street
intersection, and 150-feet from the nearest collector or arterial street intersection.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an
intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street,
but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed
as curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet
into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: As part of a future development application, the applicant
should be required to design and construct driveways to meet ACHD District policies listed above.
7. Bridge for Purdam Gulch Drain Crossing
The District will require that the applicant submit the bridge plans for the crossing of the Purdam
Gulch Drain (Internal Local Streets) for review and approval prior to the pre-construction meeting
and final plat approval. Note: all plan submittals for bridges or pipe crossings of irrigation facilities
should be submitted to ACHD for review no later than December 15th for construction in the following
year prior to irrigation season.
8. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet.
9. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD
right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm
drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle
at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height
restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop
signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District
requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.
9 Aviation Subdivision
MER20-0131 / H-2020-0111
10. Other Access
Aviator Street is classified as collector roadway. Other than the access specifically approved with
this application, direct lot access is prohibited to these roadways and should be noted on the final
plat.
D. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
This application is for a rezone only. Site specific conditions of approval will be established as part of the
future development application.

developer shall notify utilities of the status of right of way/easement acquisition necessary for their
project. At the plan review conference each company shall have the right to appeal, adjust and/or

of review indicating the costs and time required for relocation of its facilities. Said letter of review
is to be provided within thirty calendar days after the date of the plan review conference.
3) Revisions: The developer is responsible to provide utilities with any revisions to preliminary
plans. Utilities may request an updated plan review meeting if revisions are made in the
preliminary plans which affect the utility relocation requirements. Utilities shall have thirty days
after receiving the revisions to review and comment thereon.
4) Final Notification: The developer will provide highway entities, utility owners and the UCC with
final notification of its intent to proceed with right of way improvements and include the anticipated
date work will commence. This notification shall indicate that the work to be performed shall be
pursuant to final approved plans by the highway entity. The developer shall schedule a
preconstruction meeting prior to right of way improvements. Utility relocation activity shall be
completed within the times established during the preconstruction meeting, unless otherwise
agreed upon.
