SUBJECT: H-2022-0013
PROJECT NAME: Promenade Cottages Development
POLICE DEPARTMENT SUMMARY OF REPORT:
1. Police Response Time-
The proposed CentrePointe Mixed Use development application is approximately 2.1 miles from the
Meridian Police Department. The expected response time to this area in an emergency is 3:30 minutes.
The average emergency response time in the City of Meridian is 3:45 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 5/01/2020 - 4/30/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 7,199 calls for service
within a mile of the proposed development. The crime count on the calls for service was 734. See
attached documents for details.
Between 5/01/2020- 5/30/2022, the Meridian Police Department responded to 238 crashes within a mile
of the proposed development. See attached documents for details.
2. Accessibility –
If this Multi-family portion of this project is one with climate-controlled hallways, the Meridian
Police Department request further discussions with the developer on plans for emergency police
access into each building entry point using a multi-technology keypad. This will allow police access,
if there is an emergency, into the building if someone isn’t able to come to the door to allow police
entrance. Otherwise, police would have to breach the door to gain access which isn’t ideal for anyone and
delays our response.
Several previous projects use a product police recommend for this purpose. Police can work with the
applicant on placement of the access. Police will have their own access code (same for each building) to
use in an emergency.
3. Resource needs –
The Meridian Police Department can service this development if approved. The Meridian Police
Department already serves this geographic area.
4. Other comments –
All townhomes and or multi-family units shall be clearly marked with addresses and unit numbers visible
day or night for emergency response. The applicant shall place a way-finding map at each entrance to the
development.
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.
