These improvements would change the "Pedestrian" and "Bicycle level of stress" checkmarks above. See the Idaho Transportation Department's website for updates on the nearby State Highway 16 project. This development is on Valley Regional Transit's bus route 42 from Happy Day Transit Center to Town Square Mall. Consider providing bus passes to employees to encourage public transit use. Who we are: The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan planning organization for Ada and Canyon Counties. This review evaluates whether land developments are consistent with Communities in Motion the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather a guidance document. Past checklists are available online. See the Development Review User Guide for more information on the red, yellow, and green checklist thresholds. ® https://compassidaho.org/ C O M P A S S ® info@compassidaho.org �` GGMN111NITYPLANNINGASSOCIATIGN Sent: 2/8/26 °`s°°h—t id— Complete Network Appendix Checkmarks (J) below indicate suggested changes to a site plan, based on the COMPASS Complete Network Policy (No. 2022-01). Both the Complete Network Policy and site-specific suggestions are intended to better align land use with identified transportation uses in the corridor. Please see the Complete Network map for primary and secondary uses for roadways (minor arterial and above) in Ada and Canyon Counties. Corridor Name: Franklin Road Primary Use: N/A Secondary Use: Freight Land Uses to Support Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Provide sidewalks and pathways between horizontal mixed use areas to promote walking and ✓ biking between areas. ✓ Place residential uses near services such as parks, schools, grocery stores, or employment centers. ✓ Place higher-density residential uses close to employment, bus service, schools, or parks. Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure Provide sidewalks, crosswalks, and micropaths to connect destinations Provide an improved pathway along a canal as a transportation and recreational option Provide an improved pathway along a rail corridor as a transportation and recreational option: https://compassidaho.org/wp- content/uploads/COMPASS FINAL RWT COST STUDY 090419 web.pdf Site pathways and sidewalks as directly as conditions allow or provide wayfinding signs Apply traffic calming measures to discourage speeding on local roads Provide sufficient and covered bike parking near destinations Reduce street lengths to discourage speeding on local roads Land Use to Support Public Transportation Guide new development to areas planned for growth in the long-range plan forecast so that ✓ transportation infrastructure can keep up with new demand ✓ Provide more than 8 housing units per acre; or a combination of 25 total persons (population + jobs) per acre, near future transit stops Orient buildings toward potential transit corridors, with parking on the back side rather than the ✓ street side ✓ Where appropriate, cluster buildings near intersections to consolidate transit stops and street crossings ✓ Incorporate retail and other uses into the development, drawing customers both from the transit- oriented development and nearby areas The COMPASS-compiled catalog of Transit Oriented Developments in the Communities in Motion Implementation Guidebook provides examples of how higher-density development can integrate in existing neighborhoods. Public Transportation Infrastructure Locate bus stop amenities in areas that are expected to generate the most ridership, such as near ✓ employment centers, residential areas, retail centers, education centers, or major medical facilities ✓ Site a park and ride facility or set aside several stalls for park and ride via a memorandum of understanding (MOU) ✓ Provide sidewalks and/or bike paths designed to meet the needs of all users (including elderly, children, and individuals with disabilities) to connect development to transit stops ✓ Provide bicycle parking that includes covered bike racks at transit stops; ensure it does not conflict with vehicular or pedestrian travel Provide shelters, benches, trash receptacles, lighting, and landscaping to enhance the overall ✓ comfort and attractiveness of transit; ensure amenities do not block pathways, sidewalks, or bike lanes Include doors with 32 inches of clear passage space, and at least one zero-step entrance and ✓ accessible bathroom on the main floor to support those with limited mobility Provide annual bus passes to employees or residents through the Valley Regional Transit Regional ✓ Pass Program: https://www.vaIleyreaionaItransit.org/croup-pass-programs ✓ Use Valley Regional Transit's Bus Stop Location and Transit Amenities Development Guidelines to site new bus stops ✓ Use Valley Regional Transit's Bus Stop Typology: Kit of Parts to review current bus stops Access Management ✓ Space access points (driveways or cross streets) to increase the distance between potential conflict points Provide more access on lower functionally classified roads, such as collectors, and less on arterials, ✓ to facilitate efficient and safe through movement ✓ Provide cross or shared access to reduce the need for excessive access on major roads ✓ Ensure access points are designed with a turning radius that accommodates freight access where appropriate ✓ Separate freight movement from customer movement by locating loading bays on the back side rather than the street side ✓ Provide stub roads to help enable future connections between properties and reduce the need for access to high-speed, high-volume roadways ✓ Provide adequate driveways and drive-through queues to ensure that when a vehicle leaves a roadway it does not affect traffic on the roadway or access to businesses More information is available in the COMPASS Access Management Toolkit and the COMPASS Access Management Business Guide. Parking Management Arrange parking near destinations to limit the amount of circling for nearby parking spaces and ✓ create multiple smaller parking lots rather than large parking lots Provide shared parking between multiple users or destinations that have different peak periods. ✓ For example, office buildings traditionally need day-time parking while restaurants need space later in the evening. Improve walking and cycling infrastructure to make them feasible alternatives to driving and ✓ parking Add landscape islands and designated walking paths to enable safe and comfortable paths to ✓ businesses Ensure parking setbacks at alleys and access points preserve the turning radii required for freight ✓ access to loading docks Promote vigorous enforcement of'no parking' zones in loading bays and near alleys and access ✓ points Fiscal Impact Analysis Below are the expected revenues and costs to local governments from this project. The purpose of this analysis is to help the public, stakeholders, and the decision-makers better manage growth. Capital and operating expenditures are determined based on 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.
