The expected emergency response time to this area is 4:24 minutes,compared to the average emergency response time of 4:06 minutes across the City of Meridian.Emergency calls are defined as those requiring lights and sirens,with driving authorized under emergency vehicle regulations. The Meridian Police Department's response time goal for emergencies is within 3-5 minutes. Between January 1, 2023, and December 31,2024,the Meridian Police Department responded to 1,086 calls for service within one mile of the proposed development,including 70 documented crimes. Refer to the attached Level of Service Report for details. Additionally, during the same period,the department responded to 23 crashes within one mile of the proposed development. Refer to the Level of Service Report for crash details. Accessibility: For any climate-controlled multi-family developments,the Meridian Police Department requires police access to each building's entry point through a multi-technology keypad,per UDC 11-4-3- 27G. This system allows police entry during emergencies when no one is available to open the door, preventing forced entry and reducing response delays.This does not apply to Garden Style(open stairwell)multi-family developments. For vertically integrated buildings within the development, the police department strongly recommends incorporating similar multi-technology keypads, although they are not mandated by the current code. Providing this access would significantly enhance law enforcement capabilities in emergencies. Police will collaborate with the applicant on the placement of these keypads as needed.Emergency access codes will be uniform across buildings and coordinated with the Supervisor of Meridian PD Code Enforcement. Resource Needs: The Meridian Police Department is equipped to service this development if approved, as it already provides coverage for this geographic area. Additional Comments: o All townhomes and multi-family units must be clearly marked with addresses and unit numbers that are visible both day and night to facilitate emergency response. A way- finding map should be installed at each entrance and must always remain visible. o All qualified open spaces within the development,including amenities, should remain open to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should avoid creating hiding spots or blind areas that may encourage criminal activity. o The Meridian Police Department supports all recommendations from Community Development Staff and Traffic Impact Studies conducted by ITD and/or ACHD. These improvements, including enhanced access,roadways,intersections,pathways, and sidewalks, should be completed before the project is finalized.
