Subject:The Oasis CUP H-2021-0004; Opposition letter for Oasis Nightclub
External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments.
Dear Elected Officials,
I'm writing to you as a resident and concerned parent of the Meridian community. I would like to clearly state that I am
in opposition to The Oasis establishment being approved to go in the location at Eagle Rd. and Ustick Rd. I live less than
a quarter mile away from the proposed location for the conditional use permit for a nightclub. The negative measurable
impact that correlates with these types of businesses being located so close to residential areas and bus stops will have a
negative effect upon the community in which I live. With decreased property value, increased traffic, parking issues,
vandalism/crime, noise, and littering that accompany nightclubs, I feel strongly that this would be a great mistake. I
strongly urge the planning commission and the zoning commission reconsider this plan by not issuing a permit for this
type of business.
These businesses do have a right to exist, but not in the current proposed location: nestled up next to thousands of
residential homes that are scattered down Ustick and the supporting streets where our children will be negatively
affected by. This intersection is one of the busiest in Idaho, where heavy traffic commute is encountered daily. This
establishment would only add to the cross traffic nightmare of traveling across Eagle Rd and down Ustick. I am also
concerned that this location does not have the parking capacity for the proposed number of partrons that is
establishment is going to draw. This poses a greater risk to the safety of the local housing community as cars will
overflow into residential streets, and also blocking access for patrons to the other smaller established businesses.
I have lived in Champion Park subdivision for over 13 years and will be directly affected by this decision. I enjoy the close
proximity of the family friendly businesses that are located in this location. I appreciate being able to feel safe to walk to
and from this area. I urge the city to promote family supporting and oriented businesses that would not only be viewed
as an asset, but provide positive welcoming relations where residences and business are appropriately placed to support
the very neighborhoods they will affect for a lifetime.
Thank you for your time,
Shannon Haymore
