Comments:
The site is currently served by bus route #45 (Boise State/CWI via Fairview). In the future, Valley
Regional Transit's Transportation Development Program 2023-2027 shows an extension of the bus
route #30 (Pine) to the Boise Towne Square Mall. When operational, the nearest stop would be
about 0.5 miles from the site. The higher density proposed is supportive of current and future
transit. Please note that this proposal exceeds growth forecasted for this area. Consider working
with Valley Regional Transit on strategies to encourage use of public transportation (see Complete
Network Appendix for more). Also consider designing several units to be accessible.
Who we are: The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS) is the metropolitan
planning organization for Ada and Canyon Counties. This review evaluates whether land developments
are consistent with Communities in Motion the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and
Canyon Counties. This checklist is not intended to be prescriptive, but rather a guidance document. Past
checklists are available online. See the Development Review User Guide for more information on the
red, yellow, and green checklist thresholds.

Fiscal Impact Analysis
Below are the expected revenues and costs to local governments from this project. The purpose
of this analysis is to help the public, stakeholders, and the decision-makers better manage
growth.
Capital and operating expenditures are determined based on service and infrastructure needs,
including persons per household, student generation rates, lot sizes, street frontages, vehicle
trip and trip adjustment factors, average trip lengths, construction values, income, discretionary
spending, and employment densities.
