SUBJECT: H-2020-0025
PROJECT NAME: Chukar Ridge
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed Chukar Ridge development application is approximately 8 miles from the Meridian Police
Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is just over 5 minutes. The average
emergency response time in the City of Meridian is just under 4 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 3/1/2019- 2/29/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 14 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was zero. See attached
documents for details.
Between 3/1/2019- 2/29/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 8 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. The applicant can contact the addressing clerk for examples of approved signs.
3. Resource needs
This proposed development is near the edge of the city limits however, the Meridian Police Department
can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police Department already serves this area with
Gander Creek, The Oaks, Owyhee High School and Aegean Estates. With all the growth that is occurring
in the NW Section of the City response times will keep increasing. It will be necessary in the future to
build a police substation to house staff in this growing area to reduce response time to calls as the call
load increases over time.
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.
