Explorer # 200 Boise, ID 83713 Subject: MER15-0109/H-2015-0017 2215 W. Franklin Road Annexation, Rezone, and Future Land Use Map Amendment This application is for annexation, rezone, and Future Land Use Map Amendment only. Listed below are some of the findings for consideration that the District may identify when it reviews a future development application. The District may add additional findings for consideration when it reviews a specific redevelopment application. 1. Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan a. This site is located within the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan planning area. The proposed land uses are different from those adopted in the plan; because of this the applicant has provided an abbreviated traffic impact study (TIS). The TIS provides a trip generation analysis comparing the proposed development to the approved uses in the plan and a trip distribution analysis. b. The site is currently planned for Medium, Medium-High, and High Density Residential land uses. As part of this application the applicant is requesting to change the future land use map to Mixed Use Commercial, Mixed Use Residential, and High Density Residential land uses. Based on the proposed changes in the land use, the TIS estimates that the average daily trips would increase from 9,262 (current zoning) to 17,745 trips per day. In the AM peak hour the trips would decrease from 711 to 551 trips, in the PM peak hour the trips are estimated to increase from 870 to 1,188 peak hour trips. c. The Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan shows a north/south collector roadway and an east/west local street connection between the collector and Cobalt Street, an existing stub street located east of the site. The applicant should incorporate the north/south collector roadway and the local street connection to Cobalt Street as part of any future development application on the site. d. The north/south collector/Franklin Road intersection is anticipated to be signalized in the future when warrants are met. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH 208-387-6100 • FX 345-7650 • www.achdidaho.org Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan 2. Franklin Road a. Franklin Road was recently reconstructed as a 5-lane roadway in conjunction with the Franklin Road Ten Mile to Linder Road project and is fully-improved. Therefore, no additional roadway improvements or right-of-way dedication on Franklin Road would be required as part of a future development application. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH 208-387-6100 • FX 345-7650 • www.achdidaho.org 3. Access a. Franklin Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway; as such direct lot access is prohibited. Because of this the site should be designed with access off of the north/south collector, local street connections, and cross access opportunities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (208) 387-6178.
