SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In the time that McCall Municipal Airport existed, the land immediately south of the airport (located in Valley County, outside of McCall city limits) has been open pastureland. This
open land buffer allowed air traffic operations without incompatible land use such as homes, schools, and businesses. Now, with the McCall Ranch land sales, the 360° Ranch development,
and individual houses (proposed and existing), concerns are that public safety will be compromised, and that undesirable living conditions will result in increasing numbers of property
owner’s complaints.
The City of McCall desires to minimize incompatible land use in this area. To achieve this goal, the Airport has short-term and long-term recommendations for the Valley County Planning
and Zoning Commission. The airport’s short-term recommendations, for all construction within 5,000 feet of the runway end are:
Require additional soundproofing in the new construction,
Require that written notice to homeowners about the airport’s existence, flight paths, and the possibility of noise generation,
Require a Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration be submitted, and require compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) mitigation recommendations,
and
Require an Avigation Easement be negotiated with the City of McCall.
For the long term, McCall Municipal Airport requests that the Commission consider enacting zoning restrictions within Valley County in the area within 5,000 feet south of the Runway
34 end. The FAA has a recommended zoning template to assist local governments avoid incompatible land use near airports. Airport Staff will be available to assist writing zoning regulations
for this area. We urge Valley County to be proactive concerning incompatible land use near the airport, increase safety and decrease noise complaints from future citizens.
