McCall Area Pathways Master Plan are required as provided for in title IX of this code.
Section 2: McCall City Code 3.7.032: REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT is amended

(G) Bike Paths: Some or all of the routes listed in section 3.7.031 of this chapter are designated
by the parks and recreation master plan (also see the "McCall Area Bike Pathways Master
Plan;2-005") to have a bike path, walkway or other recreational routing alongside, or as a part
of the scenic route. Where such designation exists, the commission shall assist in the
effectuation of the master plans by the exaction of recreational easements or dedication of
additional right of way or other techniques to ensure a continuous route for such uses. In all
cases, the city must show that such exaction is roughly proportional to the impacts of the
development and that the conditions for implementing portions of the bike paths are to be
based upon an individualized determination for each development that the conditions are
related to both the nature and extent of such impacts.
Section 3: McCall City Code Section 3.8.16: OTHER REQUIREMENTS is amended with the
following changes:
(B) Sidewalk, Curb And Gutter and/or Pathways: Sidewalks or pathways shall be required
improvements for projects requiring design review approval in the commercial zones, or
other districts where existing sidewalk/pathways adjoins the subject property, or where the
commission determines sidewalks/pathways are necessary for public safety or located on the
McCall Area Pathways Master Plan. The requirement for sidewalks/pathways may be waived
if the cost of the proposed construction is less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00).
Sidewalks (and curb and gutter where required) shall meet the standards set forth in the city's
improvement standard drawings, as adopted.
Section 4: McCall City Code Section 9.3.104: STANDARDS is amended with the following
changes:
(J) The following criteria for connections shall be met:
1. The applicant shall define a meaningful pedestrian circulation system for each
development, which connects to the major trail system, parks, schools, shopping areas
and community assets. Subdividers shall install such sidewalks and trails as required by
ordinance and according to city standards. No park dedication credit will be given for
pedestrian improvements required by ordinance.
2. The applicant shall construct and pave all trails through and abutting their developments
identified in the master plan. Such trail improvements shall be undertaken at the same
time as other public improvements are installed within the development, (i.e., grading

timing requirement may be allowed only when deemed beneficial for the project. Park
dedication credit will be given for trails and pedestrian improvements identified in the
McCall Area Pathways Mmaster Pplan.
3. The developer may complete, construct and pave all trails not identified in the master
3. The city may permit easements to be granted by developers for trail corridors identified
in the McCall Area Pathways Mmaster Pplan, thereby allowing the developer to include
the land area in the determination of setbacks and building density on the site In such
cases, park dedication credit will not be given.
Section 5: McCall City Code Section 9.3.07: PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PATHWAYS

Area Pathways McCall bike path Mmaster Pplan. The greenbelt area shall be a minimum of
twenty five feet (25') wide and fully accessible to the public from interior lots and adjacent
public roads or paths. For new developments along the North Fork of the Payette River, a
seventy five foot (75') riparian easement shall be dedicated, as measured from the high water
mark, upon which no permanent structure shall be built, in order to protect the natural
vegetation and prevent river bank erosion. Removal of live vegetation within the riparian
easement is prohibited, except for the removal of hazardous trees, approved by the city
arborist. Pruning of trees within the riparian easement is permitted to alleviate danger from
wildfire. The riparian easement shall be fenced off during any construction on the property.
Section 6: McCall City Code Section 9.6.02: IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS is amended
to read as follows:

most current AASHTO guide for the development of bicycle facilities. Bicycle paths shall be
a minimum of ten feet (10') of paved surface over six inches (6") of three-fourths inch (3/4")
