was built in 1965 and rehabbed in 2004.
1 Browning Plaza Subdivision
• Ruddy Drive is a local street currently unproved as a standard 36-foot street section with curb,
gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk inside a 50-foot right-of-way where it stubs into
the site from the west.
• Meridian Road is a principal arterial currently improved with 6 lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on the west side to the east of the site.
4. Existing Access: The site currently has several unimproved access points onto Waltman Lane.
5. Site History: The District previously approved the annexation and rezone of this property into the
Meridian C-G zoning district (MAZ-06-063) on January 10, 2007. The Meridian City Planning and
Zoning Commission tabled that application pending the preliminary platting of the site.
6. Adjacent Development: There is no development currently taking place adjacent to or near the
site.
Development Impacts
7. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate approximately 10,300 vehicle trips per
day (VTD) and 975 vehicles in the PM peak hour at buildout, according to the submitted traffic
impact study.
8. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time.
9. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was required with this application.

11. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/Five Year Work Plan (FYWP): Meridian Road and Main Street
are currently scheduled in the FYWP to be reconfigured as a split corridor (Meridian Road running
northbound and Main Street running southbound) from Waltman Lane to Franklin Road in 2009.
12. Corporate Drive: Corporate Drive is a collector street that currently extends to the west side of
Meridian Road. ACHD and Meridian City plan to extend Corporate Drive to the west and south to
connect with Waltman Lane where it abuts the site through future development.
B. Findings for Consideration
Traffic Impact Study
Brief Project Description: The proposed Waltman Commercial Center is a mixed-use
development located south of Waltman Lane and west of Meridian Road in Meridian, Idaho. The
development program evaluated in this study assumes the following land use mix:
Retail/Commercial 200,000 SF
Office Park 150,000 SF
2 Browning Plaza Subdivision
Summary of Findings and Recommendations
• At full buildout the site development will produce a total driveway volume of approximately
10.,300 vehicles per day with a PM peak hour loading of 975 vehicles per hour.
• The proposed site access plan includes the extension of Waltman Lane from Meridian Road.
A portion of the site traffic is also assigned to the future Corporate Drive extension to the
north.
• The arterial intersection of Meridian and Main now operates with moderate traffic congestion.
Extensive modifications to the existing roadways and arterial intersections are needed to
accommodate projected regional traffic growth.
• Prior to buildout of the Waltman Commercial Center, the Meridian/Main intersection will be
reconstructed and Phase 1 of the Split Corridor program will be in operation according to the
ACRD Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
• After completion, the new Meridian/Main intersection and traffic operations will provide
sufficient capacity and traffic operations will provide sufficient capacity to handle both regional
traffic growth plus new site-generated traffic from the Waltman Commercial Center.
• The Waltman Lane/Corporate Drive intersection within the site should be designed with two-
way stop control on the east and west approaches. Left turn lanes should be constructed on
all approaches.
• The site accesses to Waltman Lane should be stop-controlled with single-lane approaches. A
continuous two-way left turn lane should be constructed on Waltman Lane across the site
frontage.
Staff Comments
• No analysis was done at buildout of the development with the existing lane geometry.
However, the LOS of the existing traffic conditions is LOS F. Therefore, it is highly likely that
the LOS at buildout of the development would also be LOS F under the existing lane
geometry. In light of this condition, the development should not proceed until Phase 1 of the
Split Corridor program is completed, as suggested in the TIS.
2. Reclassification of Waltman Lane
Functional Street Classification: District policy 7201.2 states that the District will, "upgrade
existing streets as conditions and projections warrant."
Staff Recommendation: Currently, Waltman Lane is a local roadway abutting the site carrying
approximately 500 vehicle trips per day. This development alone is projected to add an
additional 10,300 vehicle trips per day, the majority of which will take access on Waltman Lane,
even after the extension of Corporate Drive. Based on the fact that the .projected traffic volumes
generated will exceed what is allowable for local streets (2,000 VTD), and that the existing
function of Waltman Lane is to collect and carry traffic to Meridian Road, District staff
recommends that Waltman Lane be re-classified with this Commission action as a collector
roadway from the proposed intersection of Corporate Drive to Meridian Road.
3. Waltman Lane (east of Corporate Drive)
Exceptions to Usual Pertormance Requirements: If a proposed development involves a land
use of scale or nature that exceeds the traffic capacity of the adjacent system, development
standards may be increased.
Right-of-Way: District policy requires 70-feet of right-of-way on collector roadways (Figure 72-
F1 B). This right-of-way width allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb, gutter,
5-foot wide detached sidewalks and bike lanes. Attached 7-foot sidewalks inside a 64-foot right-
of-way may be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
3 Browning Plaza Subdivision
Traffic Impact Study: The submitted traffic impact study recommends installation of a
continuous two-way left turn lane on Waltman Lane across the site frontage.
Meridian Road-Main Street Split Corridor Plan: Phase 1 of this project will calls for Waltman
Lane to be constructed as a 46-foot street section.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed a vacation and exchange to shift
approximately 800-feet of Waltman Lane 25-feet to the south for purposes of noise and light
abatement for properties to the north. Additionally, the applicant has proposed either to enter
into an agreement with the District to split the cost of reconstructing Waltman Lane as a full
collector, or to pay for the entire cost of the reconstruction and recover a portion of this cost in
the future through alate-comers fee agreement in the event of development on the north side of
Waltman.
Staff Recommendation: The forecast trip generation from this development is well beyond the
acceptable planning threshold for a local street. If left as a 2-lane collector pending
improvements to the north and east, Waltman Lane would function at LOS E or F at buildout. In
light of these capacity considerations, and the uncertainty of future improvements to either
Corporate Drive or Waltman Lane, District staff recommends that the applicant reconstruct
Waltman Lane as a standard as a collector street section (two travel lanes and a center turn
lane) abutting the site from the intersection of Corporate Drive to Ten Mile Creek. On the south
side of this section of Waltman, the applicant should also construct a bike lane, vertical curb,
gutter, and 7-foot attached concrete sidewalk. On the north side, the applicant should construct
a minimum 3-foot shoulder and adequately sized drainage swale.
The applicant should dedicate sufficient right-of-way along this portion of Waltman Lane to
accommodate all required improvements and 2-foot utility strips on both sides.
The bridge spanning Waltman Lane over Ten Mile Creek is in such a condition as to preclude
widening. The applicant should replace this bridge with a bridge wide enough to accommodate
two travel lanes, center left turn lane, one bike lane and attached concrete sidewalk on the
south side. This will require a bridge approximately 50-feet in width. The final width of the
bridge will be determined by ACHD through design review of the structure. The bridge should
be constructed in a manner to allow for widening to the north in the future.
4. Waltman Lane (west of Corporate Drive)
Right-of-Way: District policy 7204.4.1 states that right-of-way widths for all streets and
highways shall not 6e less than 50-feet wide except in unusual cases. Any request to the
District to approve a street with aright-of--way width less than 50 must prove by clear convincing
evidence that the facts and circumstances of the development warrant a finding of an
exceptional case. The applicant must show that the roadway will be used for residential
purposes, there will be no possibility that the street will be extended in the near future and the
traffic volumes on the street are not forecast to exceed 200 vehicle trips per day.
District policy7240.4.3 allows a developer to construct a local urban residential street with a
reduced width of 29-feet from back-of-curb to back-of-curb with curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Policy requires Fire Department approval from use of reduced street sections and restricts
parking on reduced street sections.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct the portion of Waltman Lane
west of the proposed Corporate Drive intersection as a 29-foot local residential street section
with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
Staff Recommendation: This portion of Waltman Lane services 5single-family dwellings and
the proposed development will take no access to it. Additionally, the development to the west
makes future extension of Waltman Lane highly unlikely. Due to the continuing low-volume,
residential nature of this segment of Waltman Lane, District staff recommends approval of the
applicant's proposal.
4 Browning Plaza Subdivision
5. Corporate Drive
Right-of-Way: District policy requires 54-feet of right-of-way on industrial/commercial roadways
(Figure 72-F1 B). This right-of-way allows for the construction of a 3-lane roadway with curb,
gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks. .
Raised Medians: If approved, raised medians and traffic islands shall be in accordance with
District policy 7202.7 and 7207.5. The roadway on either side of the traffic island should
maintain a minimum of a 21-foot street section.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct Corporate Drive as a 40-foot
commercial street section with vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot attached concrete sidewalks on
both sides, all inside 54-feet of right-of-way through the site, connecting with the existing stub of
Ruddy Drive to the west and intersecting Waltman Lane approximately 700-feet west of the
site's northeast corner. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to construct a raised median
approximately 20-feet wide and 100-feet long as a traffic calming measure where Corporate
Drive connects with Ruddy Drive.
Staff Recommendation: The District has approved construction of Corporate Drive as a
commercial street section consistent with the applicant's proposal with previous developments
to the north. Staff recommends that the applicant construct Corporate Drive as proposed.
6. Driveways
Access Policy: District policy 7207.8 states that direct access to arterials and collectors is
normally restricted. The developer shall try to use combined access points. If the developer
can show that the use of a combined access point to a collector or arterial street is impractical,
the District may consider direct access points. Access points for proposed developments at
intersections should be located as far from the intersection as practical, and in no case closer
than as illustrated on Figure 72-F4, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by
the District Commission.
Commercial Driveways: District policy 7207.9.3 restricts commercial driveways with daily
traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles to a maximum width of 36-feet. Most commercial driveways
will be constructed as curb-cut type facilities if located on local streets. Curb return type
driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for driveways accessing collector and arterial
roadways.
Residential Driveways: District Policy 7207.9.3 restricts residential driveways to a maximum
width of 20-feet.
Successive Driveways: District policy 72-F5, requires driveways located on collector or arterial
roadways with a speed limit of 35 to align or offset a minimum of 150-feet from any existing or
proposed driveway.
Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed take access with seven 30-foot wide, curb
return driveways, five on Corporate Drive and two on Waltman Lane. On Corporate Drive, two
driveways will align across from each other approximately 240-feet east of the west property
line, one will offset these by approximately 220-feet to the northeast (near-edge to near-edge)
and two more will align across from each other and offset this one by approximately 300-feet to
the northeast (near-edge to near-edge). On Waltman Lane, the driveways will be located 190-
feet and 370-feet east of the Corporate Drive intersection (near-edge to near-edge),
respectively.
Additionally, the applicant has proposed to construct three curb-cut driveways on the north side
of Waltman Lane to provide access to the residences at480, 520, and 650 Waltman Lane.
Staff Recommendation: All proposed commercial driveways offset each other by at least 150-
feet and controlled intersections by 175-feet. Staff recommends approval of the applicant's
proposed driveways.
5 Browning Plaza Subdivision
7. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Width Interim Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width. The policy also requires Class I and Class III trees to provide
a minimum planter width of 10-feet.
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. Dedicate a minimum 35-feet of right-of-way from center along Waltman Lane. Additional right-
of-way will be required along the portion of be realigned to the south. Dedicate sufficient right-
