Subject: RE: Support the Oasis club 100%
Stacy,
Thank you for your email regarding the proposed Oasis project. I appreciate your views and copied our
City Clerk to have included your comments and my response for the public record.
To operate a nightclub, also known as a Drinking Establishment per Meridian City Code, a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) must first be obtained. An application from the Oasis Nightclub was submitted to our
Planning Department in January 2021. A public hearing before the City of Meridian Planning & Zoning
Commission will be held on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 6:00pm. Notice of the public hearing will be
sent by postcard by the City to all property owners within 500 feet.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will make the decision on this project unless their ruling is
appealed. If that occurs it would then be heard by the City Council. While I do not have a vote unless
there is a tie, any comments regarding the project should be reserved for that public process.
The City Clerk has the project file available online for review: The Oasis CUP H-2021-0004. Prior to the
public hearing anyone is able to review the application materials at any time as well as submit
testimony. If you have any additional comments you are able to submit testimony in advance in a
number of ways. Please note, all forms of testimony hold the same weight. Written testimony may be
submitted by email to cityclerk@meridiancity.org or by text message by texting “Comment” to 31996.
Video testimony can be recorded in advance and sent by email to cityclerk@meridiancity.org.
Comments can also be left by voicemail. Please call (208) 288-5607 to record your voice testimony. For
additional information associated with this application please contact the City of Meridian Planner
Joseph Dodson at 208-884-5533.
Thank you again for sharing your comments.
Respectfully,
Mayor Robert Simison

As a native Idahoan and resident of Meridian since 1994, I full heartedly support the opening of
the new Oasis night club! A venue like this is lacking in our area and I'm glad we are finally
stepping it up in the entertainment industry! As a business owner and Idahoan I urge you to
please not let the out of towners who chose to build near a state highway and major crossroad
dictate what our city should and should not accommodate.
Thank you for your time and service!
