SUBJECT: H-2020-0048
PROJECT NAME: Tara's Landing
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed Tara's Landing development application is approximately 8 miles from the Meridian Police
Department. There is no emergency call data in this area because the proposed development is near the
edge of the City limits. 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 4/1/2019- 3/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 56 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on those calls was 5. See attached documents for
details.
Between 4/1/2019- 3/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 4 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.
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
The Oaks and Gander Creek developments. It is imperative that the City recognize with all the growth
and development applications in this geographic area that a future police substation will be needed to
maintain emergency response times to an acceptable level. As of now, no additional resources are
required at this 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.
