2020-05-18 COMPASS Communities in Motion 2040 2. 0 Development Review
The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan planning organization
(MPO) for Ada and Canyon Counties. COMPASS has developed this review as a tool for local governments to
evaluate whether land developments are consistent with the goals of Communities in Motion 2040 2.0 (CIM 2040),
the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be
prescriptive, but rather a guidance document based on CIM 2040 2.0 goals.

the road, while supporting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Recommendations
The development will use the stub road at Seagrass Avenue and not require additional vehicle access points to
Overland Road. Internal pathways with a connection to Overland Road will encourage non-motorized travel to the
nearby Victory Middle School, Bear Creek Park, and grocery stores. The site is not currently served by public
transportation. ValleyConnect 2.0 proposes regional bus service from downtown Nampa to downtown Boise via
Overland Road with 15 minute frequencies in the peak hour. The closest bus stop would be less than 1/2 mile in
distance when that route is operational.
