governments to evaluate whether land developments are consistent

This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather a guidance ®®
document based on CIM 2050 goals.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure
An individual's trip is the entire journey from beginning to end. In many cases, a trip may combine a
number of modes. While motorized vehicles will provide longer trips, users complete the first and last
portion on their own. For example, almost every vehicle trip includes a walk or bike trip to the parking lot
or transit stop. Good street connectivity increase the number of travel options and reduces the distances
traveled to reach destinations. One way to measure route directness is take the ratio of the route distance
to the straight line-distance. The closer the ratio is to 1, the better for connectivity of the area.
Some steps that can be taken to improve walk/bike infrastructure include:

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.
