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: Outer Banks (H-2021-0063) Agency: Meridian
CIM Vision Category: Future Neighborhoods
New households: 549 New jobs: ±280 Exceeds CIM forecast: No
CIM Corridor: Franklin 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: 2,220 A good jobs/housing balance - a ratio between 1 and
Jobs within 1 mile: 1,960 1.5 - reduces traffic congestion. Higher numbers
Jobs/Housing Ratio: 0.9 indicate the need for more housing and lower numbers
indicate an employment need.
Nearest police station: 3.2 miles Developments within 1.5 miles of police and fire
ir.
�I Nearest fire station: 1.9 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: 498 acres additional jobs, and provides food security to the region.
•� Development in farm areas decreases the productivity
�and sustainability of farmland.
r- Nearest bus stop: 0.3 miles
Nearest public school: 1.1 miles Residents who live or work less than 1/2 mile from
critical services have more transportation choices.
Nearest public park: 1.3 miles Walking and biking reduces congestion by taking cars off
Nearest grocery store: 1 mile
the road, while supporting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Recommendations
The proposal provides multi-family housing near a bus route, public school, public park, and grocery store. The site
plan shows internal circulation for pedestrians and bicyclists. The mix of uses and location may provide
opportunities for shorter vehicular trips and more non-motorized trips.
The area is currently served by bus route 42 (Happy Day to Boise Town Square). Route 42 has 80-minute
frequencies in the peak hours and 100-minute frequencies in the off-peak. VaiieyConnect 2.0 plans for an express
bus route with 20-minute frequencies running from Downtown Caldwell to Downtown Boise along Ten Mile Road.
Work with Valley Regional Transit to accommodate future services and to improve the existing stops at Franklin &
Umbria Hills (see figure 1).

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:
www.compassidaho.org/prodserv/flscalimpact.htm.
