ATTACHMENT NO. 7
deteriorated area or deteriorating area, or a combination
thereof, and has designated such area as appropriate for an urban
renewal project;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Mayor and Council of
the City of McCall as follows:
1. That the urban renewal project area and revenue
allocation area identified in Attachments No. 1 and No. 2 to the
Plan (hereinafter the "area") has the following characteristics:
(a) There are a substantial number of deteriorated
or deteriorating structures within the area.
(b) There is a predominance of defective or inadequate
street layout in the area. There is no direct and adequate
route from downtown McCall and Third Street northeasterly
through the area and, in particular, to the substantial
parcels of undeveloped, commercially zoned property within
the area.
(c) Various sections of the project area streets,
including Railroad Avenue, Roosevelt, Fir, Spruce, Hemlock,
and Davis, are in a deteriorated condition. Virtually none
of the project area streets, except Third Street, have
sidewalks that are needed to assure safe pedestrian traffic.
In addition, the lack of a curb and gutter system in the
project area results in unsafe conditions for vehicular
traffic because of uncontrolled street access.
(d) The sanitary sewer system and water delivery
systems in the project area are currently inadequate and,
hence, result in unsanitary and unsafe conditions.
(e) There is a diversity of property ownership and
lot layout in the area, exemplified by commercially -zoned
property in areas that were previously subdivided into
thirty-foot (30') lots, multiple ownership of lots in a
single block or half -block area, making it difficult to
assemble suitable development parcels.
ATTACHMENT NO. 7
(f) Lot layout in the project area is inadequate in
relation to size, accessibility and usefulness.
Particularly in the area of the former Union Pacific
Railroad property, there is a wide variety of lot sizes and
shapes and parcels of property without no adequate street
access.
(g) The area lacks adequate on -street or off-street
parking facilities for the public and private development
which has occurred and which would be contemplated under
current zoning.
2. That, as a result of these conditions, there are large
parcels of property within the area which are vacant,
under-utilized, and under -developed. Additionally, such
conditions arrest the sound growth of the community and
constitute an economic liability. Downtown expansion has been
hampered by the area's inadequate public infrastructure. The
area generates more demands for municipal services than it can
pay for through property and other taxes; and, the conditions
create a menace or danger to the public welfare, in terms of fire
protection, safety of pedestrians and vehicular traffic, and
impact on users of the sewer and water systems.
3. That the area is determined to be a deteriorated area
as defined in Idaho Code Section 50-2903(6)(b) and (c), and a
deteriorating area as defined in Idaho Code Section 50-2018(i).
4. That, based on the conditions described above, and
pursuant to Idaho Code Section 50-2008(a), the area is determined
to be appropriate for an urban renewal project containing revenue
allocation financing provisions.
5. That, upon its preparation and receipt, the Railroad
Avenue Urban Renewal Plan shall be submitted to the McCall
Planning and Zoning Commission for its review and recommendation
as to the conformity of the Plan with the Comprehensive Plan of
the City of McCall, which recommendations shall be submitted to
the McCall City Council within thirty (30) days after the
Commission's receipt thereof.
ATTACHMENT NO. 7
6. That the McCall Urban Renewal Agency is renamed the
McCall Redevelopment Agency.
7. That this Resolution shall be in full force and effect
immediately upon its adoption and approal.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 25th day of October, 1990.
