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.
Development Name: Jamestown Ranch (H-2021-0074) Agency: Meridian
CIM Vision Category: Future Neighborhoods
New households: 294 New jobs: 0 Exceeds CIM forecast: No
CIM Corridor: McMillan Road Level of Stress considers facility type, number of vehicle
Pedestrian level of stress: R lanes, and speed. Roads with G or PG ratings better
Bicycle level of stress: R support bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and comfort
levels.
Housing within 1 mile: 1,430 A good jobs/housing balance - a ratio between 1 and
Jobs within 1 mile: 540 1.5 - reduces traffic congestion. Higher numbers
Jobs/Housing Ratio: 0.4 indicate the need for more housing and lower numbers
indicate an employment need.
Developments within 1.5 miles of police and fire
i�. Nearest police station: >4 miles
Nearest fire station: 2.4 miles stations ensure that emergency services are more
efficient and reduce the cost of these important public
services.
Farmland consumed: Yes ,Farmland contributes to the local economy, creates
Farmland within 1 mile: 480 acres additional jobs, and provides food security to the region.
•� Development in farm areas decreases the productivity
and sustainability of farmland.
Nearest bus stop: 3.2 miles Residents who live or work less than 1/2 mile from
Nearest public school: 0.7 miles critical services have more transportation choices.

the road, while supporting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Recommendations
The site is not currently served by public transportation and there are no plans for future transit service within a 1/2
mile of the location. The proposed improved path along the Creason Lateral will help to connect this neighborhood
to Reta Husky Park.

Fiscal Impact Analysis Supplemental for the
Development Review Checklist
The purpose of the fiscal impact analysis is to better estimate expected revenues and costs to local
governments as a result of new development so that the public, stakeholders, and the decision-
makers can better manage growth. Capital and operating expenditures are determined by various
factors that determine service and infrastructure needs, including persons per household, student
generation rates, lot sizes, street frontages, vehicle trip and trip adjustment factors, average trip
lengths, construction values, income, discretionary spending, and employment densities.
The COMPASS Development Checklist considers the level of fiscal benefits, how many public agencies
benefit or are burdened by additional growth, and how long the proposal will take to achieve a fiscal
break-even point, if at all. More information about the COMPASS Fiscal Impact Tool is available at:
