Capitol Boulevard P. O. Box 500 Boise, Idaho 83701 12081384-4310 MEMORANDUM T0: Mayor Storey and City. Council, Meridian FROM: Robert Hilgenberg, Executive Director, APA /~~rr~/Yv"~ DATE: August 8, 1977 RE: Transportation Planning Boundaries At their August 4, 1977 meeting, the Ada Planning Association Board has agreed to expand the transportation planning boundaries to include all of northern Ada County, subject to the concurrence of Eagle and Meridian. If objections are raised by either of these communities, the APA Board has agreed to expand the Transportation boundaries to the area shown on the attached map. I have requested time at your August 10,1977 meeting to discuss with you the implications of including the City of Meridian in the boundaries established for the Transportation Planning process in Ada County. There are several factors related to defining the boundaries for transportation planning in Ada County. The first factor involves the issue of funding both for transportation improvements and for transportation planning. The Urban Area, within and surrounding Boise, requires a comprehensive transportation planning process to qualify for the expenditure of federal funds for transpor- tation improvements. These Urban "D" funds amount to $1,000,000 annually and are earmarked for the Boise Urban Area only. Federal planning funds on an 80-20 matching ratio are also available to conduct transportation planning within the urban and urbanizing areas of Ada County. These funds are generally confined to the transportation planning boundaries as determined by the local governments participating in the Ada Planning Association. The recent designation of Meridian as an urban area over 5,000 population would also include the expenditure of Urban "D" Funds. If the transportation planning boundaries were extended to include Meridian, the expenditure of these Urban "D" funds would require a comprehensive transportation planning process. Another factor involves the benefits of receiving transportation planning support by the small communities. The Federal Guidelines require that the transportation planning process: a) Develop a data base; b) Include alternatives analysis; c) Develop short and long range plans to be reviewed annually; d) Consider the land use and development goals of the area; , e) Consider Social, Environment and Economic goals. f) Consider air quality impacts; g) Consider energy conservation measures. • i MEMORANDUM Page 2. In addition, transportation planning must include a Citizen's participatation effort, involve the technical staffs of implementing agencies, and consider the special transportation needs of the elderly and handicapped. An added benefit would be the involvement of elected officials from Meridian in the .transportation decision making process of APA and improved coordination on transportation matters. Further, Meridian would receive transportation planning support in the development of the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Not all of the issues related to expanding the Transportation Planning boundaries for Ada County are positive. Applying the Urban Transportation Planning process to the City of Meridian will involve a more cumbersome '(and thorough) process and requires more lead time to react. Transportation Planning support to Meridian would give the APA and its staff a greater role in transportation matters within Meridian. In the past, this support. has been the responsibility of the Ada County Highway District and the State. The final authority for approving transportation improvements lies with these implementing entities anyway. The expansion of Transportation Planning to Meridian will carry with it the Federal Certification review process, thereby requiring additional staff effort and funding.

MaYoe S;oa.~~ J . :_at V U ~r ~' 545 URBAN AR1iA PLANNING SERVICIiS ' ~Y ~i kn ii °~% Opportunity, Needs, Problems The "Land lJse Ylmining~ Act of 1975" requires each city and county to revise or adopt a comprehensive plan and ordinances to enforce the plan. After adoption period, revisions to the plan and ordinances will be necessary to keep current with changing conditions and attitudes. Concurrently, other implementation techniques- capital improvement program, neighborhood plans, impact area negotaitions, etc. -may be necessary to "flesh out" the comprehensive plans. The "fleshing out" efforts may also include filling out. grant applications for Federal and/or State financial assistance. The cities. of Nagle, Garden City, I{una, and )Vlericlian are not staffed to perform these tasks. Today, I{una is the only Ada County. city which has completed its comprehensive plan and may need all of these services in 1977-78. Nevertheless, the capacity to provide the impact area negotiations and grant application services may be needed by each city, as a part of its planning and development program. Goal Provide assistance, on request, to member cities for the maintenance of adopted plans and/or implementation elements. Objectives: 1. Assist in the review and updating of comprehensive plans, as required. 2. Upon request assist in the development of work programs for implementation tasks. 3. Assist in area of city impact negotiations. 4. Assist in the preparation of grant applications 14 July 1977 • I d w o a ~ I Q Z W O d ^ ~ Z m o O ~ R w d ° m a >• ;~ ° o a ~ ~ z ~ ~ cd z i U a w c~ u a J ~ ~ W Q a F W w G a I ¢ _ O F ` W U O w Y z rt O w I 0 Z m O F rv ~ ~ I Z O W ~ Q 4 LL U I _ W °a a a U cD O N N N .--I d' CO N O O .--I M OD IA N O p J vl N T C' M O ti .--I 00 d~ O M M N V' d' N OD N ~ Q F m e-1 M m to C- ~ N O M O N l~ M r-I d' cM N O p .~ t- ~ O ~ N N 00 N p M IID tD M O O) O N N Q~ O M CO (p rV r-I .--I N O' p [~ W O d' M ~ N .--1 • U O d o ~ .~ ~ m M er N o ~n ~ ..
