UFC 902.2.1 RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL OF APPROVAL OF ANNEXATION AND ZONING FOR HAVASU CREEK SUBDIVISION - Page 8 9. The proposed 327 lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household would have a total estimated population of 948 residents at build out. The proposed multi-family lot has an estimated 171 units with a total estimated population of 495 residents at build out. The 11 office lots and 1 commercial lot will have an unknown transient population and will have an unknown impact on Meridian Fire Department call volumes. The Meridian Fire Department has experienced 2,069 responses in the year 2000 and 2,251 calls for service in 2001. According to a report completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting Group in February of 2000 our requests for service are projected to reach 2,800 in the year 2005 and 3,800 by the year 2010. 10.

Achievement of this goal is subject to budgetary constraints and is intended to enhance the probability of a favorable outcome on a request for Basic Life Support. The budget constraints are typically defined as capital outlay for facilities that are located within 1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient operational funds to staff the facilities.
