PROJECT NAME: Oaks North Rezone - RZ
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time-
The proposed Oaks North (phase 12) development application is approximately 7.4 miles from the
Meridian Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is (not enough data
to collect) minutes. The average emergency response time in the City of Meridian is 3:43 minutes.
Emergency calls are defined as an emergency response with lights and sirens and driving as authorized
for an emergency vehicle. The Meridian Police Department response time goal for emergencies is
within 3-5 minutes.
Between 02/01/2020 – 1/31/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 689 calls for service
within a mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 29. See attached
documents for details.
Between 02/01/2020 – 1/31/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 5 crashes within a mile
of the proposed development. See attached documents for details.
2. Accessibility –
The Meridian Police Department has no concerns with access into the proposed development. All shared
driveways shall have address signs at each entrance and the roadways shall be maintained for police
response as well as addressing on both sides of the building if they are alley loaded structures. The
applicant can contact the addressing clerk for examples of approved signs.
3. Resource needs
This proposed development is located in the northwest part of the city which the Meridian Police
Department can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police Department already serves
this area but response times could be extended depending on the day and time and response distance. In
2023 Meridian PD will have a police precinct in the general area which with drastically improve response
times.
4. Other comments-
The Meridian Police Department has no outstanding issues concerning this development application.
All qualified open space provided in the development, to include all amenities, must be in an open area in
order to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should not create hiding
spots or blind spots that would promote criminal opportunities.
The Meridian Police Department will support all Community Development Staff recommendations,
Traffic Impact Studies from ITD and or ACHD to improve access, roadways, intersections, pathways and
sidewalks before the project if fully completed.
