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 2050 (CIM 2050), 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 2050 goals.

Level of Stress measures how
safe and comfortable a bicyclist
or pedestrian would feel on a
corridor and considers multimodal

economic vitality by growing near

Land Uses to Support Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation
Land use decisions can support the safety and comfort of bicyclists and pedestrians. A robust mix of
nearby housing, jobs, and services can:
Promote safe and comfortable walking and biking by
reducing the number of vehicles on the road
Reduce the distance between housing and services,
especially for vulnerable populations
Reduce the requirement for large and costly parking
facilities
Land use mix can either be horizontal or vertical. A
horizontal mix indicates a variety of uses across a neighborhood, while vertical mix refers to different uses
within the same building or lot. To measure land use mix, consider how many different uses (e.g.,
residential, office, retail, industrial, service, entertainment, education, health, etc.) are within each
community or area. Higher mixes reflect more convenient access to a wide range of jobs and services.
Some steps to take to increase bicycle and pedestrian accommodations are:
Provide sidewalks and pathways between horizontal mixed use areas to promote walking and biking between areas.
✓ Place residential uses near services such as parks, schools, grocery stores, or employment
centers.
✓ Place higher-density residential uses close to employment, bus service, schools, or parks.

Fiscal Impact Analysis Supplemental for the
Development Review Checklist
The purpose of the fiscal impact analysis is to better estimate expected revenues and costs to local
governments as a result of new development so that the public, stakeholders, and the decision-
makers can better manage growth. Capital and operating expenditures are determined by various
factors that determine 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.
The COMPASS Development Checklist considers the level of fiscal benefits, how many public agencies
benefit or are burdened by additional growth, and how long the proposal will take to achieve a fiscal
break-even point, if at all. More information about the COMPASS Fiscal Impact Tool is available at:
