Staff Report
DR-07-64 (REVISED)
McCall Aviation
300 Deinhard Lane
March 17, 2009
Representative: Dan Scott
Owner/Applicant: McCall Aviation, Inc.
Application: Design Review application to construct a new commercial hangar at 300
Deinhard Lane
Zoning District: AP- Airport Zone
The Application
A revised design review application was submitted to construct a hangar along Deinhard Lane
with lobby and reception area for passengers and crews, additional restroom facilities, paved
surface parking, and sidewalks, curbs and gutters to tie into the Four Corners project.
Background Information
The applicant initially submitted a design review application for a new commercial hangar at 300
Deinhard Lane on September 21, 2007. The McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission
denied the application on December 4, 2007, because the application was not in conformance
with the Airport Zoning Map amendment development agreement (that has since been
determined void.)
The applicant appealed the decision to the McCall City Council. The City Council held a public
hearing and denied the appeal, because at the time the application was filed, the Airport Master
Plan Update had not been approved and therefore the design review was subject to the height
restrictions imposed by the Scenic Route Overlay Zone (35'). The proposed building exceeded
the maximum height allowed at the time the application was filed.
The applicant filed a Petition for Judicial Review in the District Court of the Forth Judicial District.
On December 8, 2009, the parties participated in a mediation session that included Mayor
Kulesza, Council Member Bailey, Community Development Director Michelle Groenevelt, and
City Manager Lindley Kirkpatrick.
The Conditional Settlement Agreement was entered into on January 22, 2009. The Agreement
(see attachment) requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on the revised plans
submitted as part of DR-07-64. The hangar proposed shall be reduced and limited to a height of
forty-two (42) feet.
The applicant submitted revised materials for the material board, material list, elevations, an
artist rendering of the building and landscaping, and a preliminary landscaping plan.
McCall City Council Page 1
Staff Report
DR-07-64 (Revised): McCall Aviation- 300 W. Deinhard Lane March 17, 2009
The proposed landscaping plan that includes plantings along 3rd Street (Highway 55), Deinhard
Lane, the internal parking lot and structures meets the McCall Design Guidelines. Specially, the
plan addresses Design Guideline #38 to screen parking lots: "Use landscaping to mitigate the
visual impact of parking lots. Well placed groups of appropriate trees and shrubs can improve
the appearance of these vast expanses of asphalt. It is recommended that at least one-fourth of
any such parking area larger than 5,000 square feet be shaded by planting trees and shrubs. The
objective is to create a park or architectural form in what is otherwise a waste land."
Application Details
The applicant proposes a 120'x120' ( 14,400 sq. ft.) commercial hangar building, along with a 53'
x 78' (3,452 sq. ft.) lobby/office space. The combined square footage of new buildings would be
approximately 17,800 sq. ft. The existing hangar is 80' x 145' (11,600 sq. ft.).
The height of the proposed hangar is 42' and the height of the proposed lobby building is 32'.
The height of the existing hangar is 28'.
The new hangar will be constructed out of profiled metal with a wainscoat of stone veneer. The
existing hangar will also receive updated finishes. See attached plans (Sheet 01.1— color) for
material samples and color renderings.
The presented color renderings and the presented materials samples differ in color. The final
exterior wall materials is proposed to match the presented samples.
The new sign will be 14 ft. wide and 7 ft. tall for a total of 98 sq. ft. The sign will be attached to
the new hangar without lighting.
The applicant has proposed a landscaping plan (Sheet 01.4). All proposed landscaping will
comply with City of McCall landscaping requirements, specifically MCC 3.8.13 Landscaping,
Screening and Buffering regarding the screening of parking lots.

Parking
McCall City Code Section 3.8.06 does not have a specific parking calculation for hangars or
airport terminals. The Code does contain a generic requirement of 1 parking space for every
300 square feet of "All other types of businesses or commercial uses permitted in any zone", but
it is unclear whether this is intended to capture the square footage of a hangar or of the
associated lobby/office space. Upon review of the proposed plans, and based on the Code's
indeterminacy, the applicant meets the intent of the Code (57 proposed parking spaces)
regarding the number of required parking spaces and this number should be sufficient to serve
the development.
