If for whatever reason ACHD reverses decision or the City of Meridian requires a TIS,please let us know and we can pick up where we have left off. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Paige, Thank you for this information.I wanted to confirm with ACHD that a traffic impact study will not be required for this development. Yes,the proposed development is anticipated to generate less than 100 peak hour trips.I noticed in Policy 7106.1 that one of the TIS requirement triggers is dwelling units.The planned number of units for the development exceeds 100,however using the ITE Trip Generation rates the development results in less than 100 peak hour trips. As discussed,the amenity/retail space of the development will be minor(-3,000 sq.ft.).The developer has indicated this use is intended to serve those in the building primarily as opposed to the general public.I imagine a fitness center,gaming area,hair salon,or something along those lines.I attached the concept plan we have for your reference. Below is a trip generation table comparing three different ITE Land Use Codes that could be applied to this development.However,none of the results exceed 1,000 daily or 100 peak hour trips per ITE Trip Generation rates.

Hi Aimee and Paige, We received the request below for an area of influence run.Their closest access point to Overland is at Wells.That is what we are currently assuming for model network access.Will Wells remain full access or should we also add in the Blue Horizon to Bonito to Overland access point?
