Comments:
This proposal exceeds new job growth forecasted for this area. However, it is below the forecasted
number of households for the area. Jobs plus households are generally consistent with Communities in
Motion 2050 Vision.
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.
Complete Network Appendix
Checkmarks (✓) below indicate suggested changes to a site plan, based on the COMPASS
Complete Network Policy (No. 2022-01). Both the Complete Network Policy and site-specific
suggestions are intended to better align land use with identified transportation uses in the
corridor. Please see the Complete Network map for primary and secondary uses for roadways
(minor arterial and above) in Ada and Canyon Counties.
Corridor Name: Midland Boulevard
Primary Use: Public Transportation
Secondary Use: N/A
Access Management
✓ Provide stub roads to help enable future connections between properties and reduce the need for
access to high-speed, high-volume roadways

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.
