Message:
Dear Honorable Mayor Simison and Members of the City Council,
I'm contacting you to express my strong objection to the Oasis Nightclub proposed to be built at
the southwest corner of Ustick and Eagle. This location is misaligned with the family-friendly
businesses within the local vicinity, will result in increased fatalities do to alcohol-related traffic
incidents and DUIs, will increase sexual violence and assualt among local female residents, and
doesn't align with Meridian's stated values of being a "premier community in which to live, work,
and raise a family."
Proximity to Residential Neighborhoods and Family-Friendly Businesses
I live as a Boise resident, that frequents this area often. (Every week at least 2 to 3 times per
week) My sons school is near this area as well as close friends. The increased traffic congestion
and certain drunk driving and DUI offenses that will frequent those exact crossroads of these
family-friendly businesses poses potentially fatal risk to residential walkers, particularly the
school-aged children. This type of establishment belongs in an environment made up of
businesses that more commonly serve late-night hours, not in a primarily residential area of
town within a 1 mile radius of multiple churches, 7 elementary schools, and many city parks that
service families with young children. It is alarming that a nightclub would be allowed in this
particular location that poses such a threat to the safety of our most vulnerable demographic.
As a boise resident, I stand with my Meridian neighbors. I have always appreciated your city's
stated values of being a "premier community in which to live, work, and raise a family." I do not
believe the Oasis Nightclub supports that mission. I am asking the City Council to use their
authority to protect the integrity of that mission and the safety of your’s and mine community.
I respectfully ask that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny The Oasis’ Conditional Use Permit
application and subsequently urge the City Council to deny it should a review be
requested.
