Compass began operating within the City of Meridian in 2005. Compass's initial facility, which currently houses their elementary students, is located on Cherry Lane between Ten Mile and Linder. In August of 2019, Compass moved the secondary (6-12) students to the current school building on the Black Cat Campus. The ownership contact for the property is: Compass Public Charter School Inc. 4667 W. Aviator Street Meridian, ID 83642 Phone: (208) 888-5847 Contact: Kelly Trudeau Compass Charter Schools is seeking Certificate of Zoning Compliance of property located near the intersection of North Black Cat Road and Aviation Street in the City of Meridian zoned R-15. The property consists of a single parcel which has been annexed into the City of Meridian jurisdictional limits. This property will have an 8-inch water line within Aviator Street which will be extended across this parcel's northern frontage. An existing 12-inch water main and a 36-inch sewer line are in Franklin Road along the property frontage. In March 2020, Compass Public Charter School began constructing their next phase to house their elementary school and combine their campuses. The proposed expansion will build out the overall school site, as originally planned. At the time the original 68,134 sf building was approved, 167 parking spaces were provided, 30 more than what was required by the ordinance in place at the time (1 space per 500 square feet of gross floor area). With the elementary school addition, the square footage of the building will total 101,377 sf, requiring 253 parking spaces (1 space per 400 square feet of gross floor area), which would require the addition of 86 spaces to the campus. The construction of the parking on this project will replace the Alternative of Compliance requirements granted as part of the Compass Expansion project (A-2020-0008). The City Council allowed a reduction in the east buffer distance by waiver. The original master plan which was included in the Development Agreement intended to provide additional parking on the property the school owns on the north side of Aviator Street. There were concerns with pedestrians crossing a public street (Aviator) to access the school site. The amended Development Agreement was revised to relocate the proposed parking to this parcel and approved at City Council on xxxxxxxx , 2020, recorded at the Ada County Recorder's office on xxxxxx, 2020 as Instrument No. 2020-xxxxxxxx. Summary of Applications/Requests The Compass Charter School East Parcel site plan design will provide 88 parking spaces and future play fields. The applicant is requesting the following approvals: • Certificate of Zoning Compliance Summary With continued growth of our campus, we look forward to working with the City of Meridian on this next step. We are respectfully asking for approval of this application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance.

C. Findings for Consideration 1. Franklin Road 2 COMPASS Charter School East Expansion/ MER20-0048/ H-2020-0042 a. Existing Conditions: Franklin Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk abutting the site. There is 110-feet of right-of-way for Franklin Road (35-feet from centerline). b. Policy: Arterial Roadway Policy: District Policy 7205.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typology Policy: District Policy 7205.5 states that the design of improvements for arterials shall be in accordance with District standards, including the Master Street Map and Livable Streets Design Guide. The developer or engineer should contact the District before starting any design. Street Section and Right -of -Way Width Policy: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.2 state that the standard 5-lane street section shall be 72-feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb) within 96- feet of right-of-way. This width typically accommodates two travel lanes in each direction, a continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes on a minor arterial and a safety shoulder on a principal arterial. Minor Improvements Policy: District Policy 7203.3 states that minor improvements to existing streets adjacent to a proposed development may be required. These improvements are to correct deficiencies or replace deteriorated facilities. Included are sidewalk construction or replacement; curb and gutter construction or replacement; replacement of unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk; installation or reconstruction of pedestrian ramps; pavement repairs; signs; traffic control devices; and other similar items. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, arterial street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Franklin Road is designated in the MSM as a Planned Commercial Arterial with 5-lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 72-foot street section within 96-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any street improvements to Franklin Road abutting the site. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Franklin Road is fully improved; therefore, no additional right-of-way dedication or street improvements are required as part of this application. Consistent with ACHD's Minor Improvement policy, the applicant should be required to replace or repair any damaged or deficient facilities on Franklin Road abutting the site. 2. Aviator Street a. Existing Conditions: Aviator Street is improved with 2-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and 7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 55-feet of right-of-way for Aviator Street (28- feet from centerline). b. Policy: Collector Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for improving all collector frontages adjacent to the site or internal to the development as required below, regardless of whether access is taken to all of the adjacent streets. Master Street Map and Typologies Policy: District policy 7206.5 states that if the collector street is designated with a typology on the Master Street Map, that typology shall be considered for the required street improvements. If there is no typology listed in the Master Street Map, then standard street sections shall serve as the default. 3 COMPASS Charter School East Expansion/ MER20-0048/ H-2020-0042 Street Section and Right -of -Way Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard right-of-way width for collector streets shall typically be 50 to 70-feet, depending on the location and width of the sidewalk and the location and use of the roadway. The right-of-way width may be reduced, with District approval, if the sidewalk is located within an easement; in which case the District will require a minimum right-of-way width that extends 2-feet behind the back -of - curb on each side. The standard street section shall be 46-feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb). This width typically accommodates a single travel lane in each direction, a continuous center left -turn lane, and bike lanes. Residential Collector Policy: District policy 7206.5.2 states that the standard street section for a collector in a residential area shall be 36-feet (back -of -curb to back -of -curb). The District will consider a 33-foot or 29-foot street section with written fire department approval and taking into consideration the needs of the adjacent land use, the projected volumes, the need for bicycle lanes, and on -street parking. Sidewalk Policy: District policy 7206.5.6 requires a concrete sidewalk at least 5-feet wide to be constructed on both sides of all collector streets. A parkway strip at least 6-feet wide between the back -of -curb and street edge of the sidewalk is required to provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians. Consult the District's planter width policy if trees are to be placed within the parkway strip. Sidewalks constructed next to the back -of -curb shall be a minimum of 7-feet wide. Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway. Meandering sidewalks are discouraged. A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right- of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement. ACHD Master Street Map: ACHD Policy Section 3111.1 requires the Master Street Map (MSM) guide the right-of-way acquisition, collector street requirements, and specific roadway features required through development. This segment of Aviator Street is designated in the MSM as a Town Center Collector with 2-lanes and on -street bike lanes, a 36-foot street section within 54-feet of right-of-way. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend Aviator Street into the site as '/2 of a 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 7-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 55- feet of right-of-way abutting the site. The applicant has proposed to construct an offset temporary turnaround at the terminus of Aviator Street at the site's east property line. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant should extend Aviator Street into the site as a complete 36-foot street section with vertical curb, gutter and 7-foot wide concrete sidewalk on both sides of the roadway because they control both sides of the roadway and dedicate right- of-way to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk. The applicant should be required to construct the offset temporary turnaround at the terminus of Aviator Street at the site's east property line with a minimum turning radius of 45-feet. 3. Stub Streets a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing stub street, Aviator Street, at the site's west property line that is proposed to be extended into the site as a collector roadway. 4 COMPASS Charter School East Expansion/ MER20-0048/ H-2020-0042 b. Policy: Stub Street Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.3 states that stub streets will be required to provide circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the requirements described in Section 7206.2.4, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions: • A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection; unless an alternative storm drain system is approved by the District. • The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will remain free of obstructions. Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7206.2.4.4 requires that the design and construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead-end streets. The temporary cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac. The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the easement and identified on the plat as a non -buildable lot until the street is extended. c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct 1 stub street to the east, Aviator Street, located approximately 1,100-feet north of Franklin Road. The applicant has proposed to terminate the stub street in an offset temporary turnaround. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District policy and should be approved, as proposed. The right-of-way for the stub street should extend to the east property line. The applicant should be required to install a sign at the terminus of the stub street stating that, "THIS IS A DESIGNATED COLLECTOR ROADWAY. THIS STREET WILL BE EXTENDED AND WIDENDED IN THE FUTURE." The temporary turnaround should be paved and constructed to meet the same dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac. The applicant should grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. 4. Driveways 4.1 Franklin Road a. Existing Conditions: There are two existing driveways from the site onto Franklin Road. b. Policy: Access Points Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. Access Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 states that direct access to principal arterials is typically prohibited. If a property has frontage on more than one street, access shall be taken from the street having the lesser functional classification. If it is necessary to take access to the higher classified street due to a lack of frontage, the minimum allowable spacing shall be based on Table 1 b under District policy 7205.4.7, unless a waiver for the access point has been approved by the District Commission. Driveways, when approved on a principal arterial shall operate as 5 COMPASS Charter School East Expansion/ MER20-0048/ H-2020-0042 a right-in/right-out only, and the District will require the construction of a raised median to restrict the left turning movements. Driveway Location Policy: District policy 7205.4.7 requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways to be located a minimum of 355-feet from the nearest intersection for a right- in/right-out only driveway. Full -access driveways are not allowed on principal arterial roadways. Successive Driveways: District policy 7205.4.7 Table 1 b, requires driveways located on principal arterial roadways with a speed limit of 50 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 520-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7205.4.8 restricts high -volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low -volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high - volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low -volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7205.4.8, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30- feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7205.4.8. Temporary Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.2 identifies a temporary access as that which "is permitted for use until appropriate alternative access becomes available". Temporary access may be granted through a development agreement or similar method, and the developer shall be responsible for providing a financial guarantee for the future closure of the driveway. Cross Access Easements/Shared Access Policy: District Policy 7202.4.1 states that cross access utilizes a single vehicular connection that serves two or more adjoining lots or parcels so that the driver does not need to re-enter the public street system. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing to close the two existing driveways from the site onto Franklin Road. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Access Management or Successive Driveway policies, as the site has frontage on a lesser classified roadway and the driveways do not meet the minimum offset of 520-feet from an existing driveway west of the site and two driveways east of the site. Therefore, the applicant should be required to close the two existing driveways from the site onto Franklin Road with vertical curb, gutter and 5-foot wide detached concrete sidewalk to match the existing improvements on either side. 4.2 Aviator Street a. Existing Conditions: There are no existing collector roadways within the site. b. Policy: Access Policy: District Policy 7205.4.1 states that all access points associated with development applications shall be determined in accordance with the policies in this section and Section 7202. Access points shall be reviewed only for a development application that is being considered by the lead land use agency. Approved access points may be relocated and/or restricted in the future if the land use intensifies, changes, or the property redevelops. District Policy 7206.1 states that the primary function of a collector is to intercept traffic from the local street system and carry that traffic to the nearest arterial. A secondary function is to service adjacent property. Access will be limited or controlled. Collectors may also be designated at bicycle and bus routes. 6 COMPASS Charter School East Expansion/ MER20-0048/ H-2020-0042 Successive Driveways: District policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on collector roadways with a speed limit of 25 MPH and daily traffic volumes greater than 100 VTD to align or offset a minimum of 245-feet from any existing or proposed driveway. Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7206.4.6 restricts high -volume driveways (100 VTD or more) to a maximum width of 36-feet and low -volume driveways (less than 100 VTD) to a maximum width of 30-feet. Curb return type driveways with 30-foot radii will be required for high - volume driveways with 100 VTD or more. Curb return type driveways with 15-foot radii will be required for low -volume driveways with less than 100 VTD. Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, 7206.4.6, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30- feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway and install pavement tapers in accordance with Table 2 under District Policy 7206.4.6. c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 30-foot wide curb return type driveway from the site onto Aviator Street located 200-feet east of an existing driveway on the adjacent parcel. d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Successive Driveway policy because it does not meet the minimum offset of 245-feet from an existing driveway. However, staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the driveway to be located as proposed due to the fact that there is not enough frontage to meet the minimum offset and it is needed to provide access to the parking lot and recreational fields. 5. Tree Planters Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet. 6. Landscaping Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans. 7.
