Comments:
The area is currently served by Valley Regional Transit bus route 42 which runs from Happy Day
Transit Center to Boise Towne Square Mall.
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.

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: N/A
Primary Use:
Secondary Use:
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
Site pathways and sidewalks as directly as conditions allow or provide wayfinding signs
Provide sufficient and covered bike parking near destinations
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
Provide annual bus passes to employees or residents through the Valley Regional Transit Regional
✓ Pass Program: https://www.vaIleyregionaItransit.orq/group-pass-programs
Access Management
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
Provide stub roads to help enable future connections between properties and reduce the need for✓
access to high-speed, high-volume roadways
More information is available in the COMPASS Access Mana_aement 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
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.
Net Fiscal Impact by Agency
City County
Highway District School District
Breakeven point across all agencies: 1 Year
Disclaimer: This tool only looks out 20 years and does not include replacement costs for
infrastructure, public utilities, or unfunded transportation needs in the project area. More
