What We Do
Planning: Current planning
improves the quality of life, design,
infrastructure, and economy through
the regulation of land development.
The McCall Area Comprehensive
Plan, the McCall City Code, and
State and Federal regulations, and
staff ensure that development pro-
posals meet applicable codes. Staff
supports the land use decision -
making functions of the McCall Area
Planning and Zoning Commission
within the City and the Impact Area.
Staff also supports the land use deci-
sion -making functions of the City
Council and the Valley County Board
of Commissioners for the City and
the Impact Area, respectively.
Long range planning activities
include the continual update and
implementation of the McCall Area
Comprehensive Plan, zoning and
subdivision codes, and other policy
and regulatory documents to better
articulate the community's vision.

Planning for now and the future
In October, Economic Development was officially added to the Department to
form the Community and Economic Development Department and the depart-
ment employees transitioned into new roles and a Permit Tech was hired.
2017 was a significant year for the Department. Not only did the number of
land use and building permits applications increase from the previous year,
but the Community and Economic Development was buzzing with lots of in-
quiries from potential homebuyers, realtors, developers and builders.
BIG IDEA
Develop low -stress bikeways, crossings, and
sidewalks. Construct sidewalks and pathways
where there are gaps in commercial and
public areas, and connect corridors to parks
and open spaces. Connect and construct new
pathways per the "McCall Area Pathways
Master Plan." Enhance walkobility within.
existing neighborhoods.

to develop these plans and gather input for a code update. The Plans unclude
a vision, goals and policies, data analysis, strategies and projects. GIS as-
sisted the Plans with map creation and other tools to ensure the information
