On June 24, 2021, McCall City Council adopted Resolution 21-25 designating certain properties owned by Pine Creek Ranch, LLC as AREAS OF CRITICAL CONCERN. These properties located east of the McCall city boundaries are within the area of city impact now require the preparation of an environmental assessment.

In a memo to McCall City Council background was given regarding vacant parcels located east of the city limits adjacent to the Fox Ridge, West Place, Woodlands No. 1, and Woodlands No. 2 subdivisions, within the Area of City Impact, when combined, total 158 acres in size. The memo noted the owner’s intent to develop the property in single-family residences. Chapter 7 of the Subdivision Code sets Special Subdivision Development Standards with the purpose to identify various types of developments that normally pose special concerns to the city when reviewing and acting upon subdivision requests.

Section 9.7.08 specifically provides for the City Council to designate areas of critical concern, including areas within the area of city impact outside the city boundaries. The code allows for the city to require an environmental assessment prepared by an interdisciplinary team of professionals. After the Resolution was adopted staff began drafting a scope of work outlining the required information that need be contained within the Environmental Assessment.

As of July 22, 2021, the City of McCall is asking for input on the Draft Environmental Assessment Scope of work. This is an effort to assure all aspects of environmental concerns are addressed for the Pine Creek Ranch, LLC-owned properties, and future designated Areas of Critical Concern.
