PROJECT NAME: Pura Vida Ridge Ranch
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time -
The proposed Pura Vida Ridge Ranch development application is approximately 5.5 miles from the
Meridian Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is over 4 1/2
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 6/1/2019- 5/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 13 calls for service within a
mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 1. See attached
documents for details.
Between 4/1/2019- 3/31/2020, the Meridian Police Department responded to 12 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. Any
shared driveways shall have address signs at each entrance and the roadways shall be maintained for
police response. All Townhome/Condos buildings shall be clearly marked with addresses and unit
numbers that are highly visible day or night.
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 geographic
area to the north and to the west. 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.
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.
