C. Findings for Consideration
This application is for a rezone application 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. Ustick Road
a. Existing Conditions: Ustick Road is improved with 5-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 92 feet of right-of-way for Ustick Road (46 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: District Policies 7205.2.1 & 7205.5.1 state that the
standard 5-lane street section shall be 72 feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) within 96 feet of
3 MAZ-12-001
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.
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 Ustick Road is designated in the
MSM as a Residential Arterial with 5-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 70-foot street section
within 96 feet of right-of-way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Ustick Road.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: This portion of Ustick Road was recently rebuilt as part
of an ACHD roadway project; therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of--way
dedication should be required as a part of this application.
2. Allys Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: Allys Avenue is improved with 3-travel lanes, vertical curb, gutter, and
7-foot wide sidewalk abutting the site. There is 56 feet of right-of-way for Allys Avenue (32
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.
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.
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.
ACRD 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 Allys AVenue is designated in the
MSM as a Commercial Collector with 3-lanes and on-street bike lanes, a 60-foot street section
within 84 feet of right-of--way.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Allys Avenue.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Allys Avenue was recently constructed as a 3-lane
roadway with vertical curb, gutter and 7-foot wide detached sidewalks and meets the
4 MAZ-12-001
intentions of a Commercial Collector. Therefore, no additional street improvements or right-of-
way dedication should be required as part of this application.
The applicant should be required to replace any deteriorated or deficient sidewalk, curb, gutter
or pedestrian facilities along Allys Avenue abutting the site, consistent with ACHD's Minor
Improvement Policy 7203.3.
3. Duane Drive
a. Existing Conditions: Duane Drive is improved with 2-travel lanes, and no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50 feet of right-of--way for Duane Drive (25 feet from
centerline).
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of--way
widths for all local streets shall generally not be less than 50 feet wide and that the standard
street section shall be 36 feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The District will consider the
utilization of a street width less than 36 feet with written fire department approval.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some
local jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8 feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the
parkway strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce
the width of the parkway strip.
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any improvements to Duane Drive.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District Local
Roadway Policy and should not be approved, as proposed. The applicant should be required
to construct Duane Drive as one-half of a 36-foot street section with curb, gutter, and 5-foot
wide sidewalk abutting the site.
The applicant should provide a permanent right-of-way easement for any portion of sidewalk
located outside of the right-of-way.
4. Driveways
4.1 Ustick Road
a. Existing Conditions: There is one 28-foot wide driveway onto Ustick Road from the site.
The driveway is located approximately 410 feet east of the intersection of Ustick Road and
Allys Avenue (measured centerline-to-centerline).
5 MAZ-12-001
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 7205.4.6 states that direct access to minor 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 a under District policy 7205.4.6, unless a waiver for the access point has been
approved by the District Commission.
Driveway Location Policy: District Policy 7205.4.5 requires driveways located on minor
arterial roadways from a signalized intersection with a single left turn lane shall be located a
minimum of 330 feet from the nearest intersection for aright-in/right-out only driveway and a
minimum of 660 feet from the intersection for afull-movement driveway.
Successive Driveways Policy: District Policy 7205.4.6 Table 1a, requires driveways located
on minor arterial roadways with a speed limit of 40 MPH to align or offset a minimum of 330
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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing 28-foot
wide driveway located 410 feet east of the intersection of Ustick Road and Allys Avenue.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Access Management, Successive Driveway, or Driveway Location Policies and should not be
approved as proposed. District Policy requires driveways on a minor arterial near a signalized
intersection to be located a minimum distance of 660 feet from the intersection for afull-
movement driveway. The existing driveway is located 410 feet east of the signalized
intersection of Ustick Road and Allys Avenue. Additionally, the site has access onto Allys
Avenue, a collector roadway, and Duane Drive, a local roadway. These roadways provide
sufficient access points to the site, thus negating any need for a driveway onto Ustick Road.
The applicant should be required to close the existing 28-foot wide driveway onto Ustick Road
and replace it with vertical curb, gutter, and sidewalk to match the existing improvements on
either side.
4.2 Allys Avenue
a. Existing Conditions: There is one 20-foot wide driveway onto Allys Avenue from the site.
The driveway is located 600 feet south of the intersection of Allys Avenue and Ustick Road
and 75 feet north of the closest existing driveway (measured centerline-to-centerline).
6 MAZ-12-001
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.
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7206.4.5 Table 1, requires driveways located on
collector roadways with a speed limit of 30 MPH and daily traffic volumes less than 100 VTD
to align or offset a minimum of 150 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 not proposing any changes to the existing 20-foot
wide driveway.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District
Successive Driveway Policy; however, staff recommends a modification of policy to allow the
driveway to remain due to the fact that there is limited traffic that currently utilizes Allys
Avenue and the driveway is infrequently used to access the backfield of an existing softball
field.
It should be noted that as traffic in the area increases and/or when the site redevelops future
restrictions may be required regarding the existing driveway.
4.3 Duane Drive
a. Existing Conditions: There are 4 driveways onto Duane Drive from the site. They are located
as follows:
• 20-foot wide driveway located approximately 100 feet south of the intersection of Duane
Drive and Ustick Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
• 20-foot wide driveway located approximately 375 feet south of the intersection of Duane
Drive and Ustick Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
• 20-foot wide driveway located approximately 435 feet south of the intersection of Duane
Drive and Ustick Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
• 20-foot wide driveway located approximately 570 feet south of the intersection of Duane
Drive and Ustick Road (measured centerline-to-centerline).
b. Policy:
Driveway Location Policy: District Policy 7207.4.1 requires driveways located near
intersections to be located a minimum of 75 feet (measured centerline-to-centerline) from the
nearest street intersection.
7 MAZ-12-001
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from
an intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local
street, but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District Policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20 feet and may be constructed
as curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District Policy,
7207.4.3, 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.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing driveways.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal meets District Driveway Policy
and should be approved, as proposed.
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. Other Access

Re: AZ 12-001 LDS Stake Center 3775 Ustick Road
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has reviewed the referenced annexation
application for the proposed LDS Stake Center at 3775 Ustick Road. ITD has the following
comments:
1) ITD has no objection to the proposed project and requires no mitigation. The new project
will generate traffic volumes similar to those anticipated under the City's Comprehensive
Plan and no new access is requested to Eagle Road.
2) ITD has no planned improvements for the Ustick Road intersection with SH-55 (Eagle
Road).
If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
Sincerely,
