Long-range planning activities include continually updating and implementing the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision codes, and other policy and regulatory documents to better articulate the community’s vision. In addition to the City Council and P&Z, the Department also staffs the Urban Renewal Agency, the McCall Improvement Committee, the Historic Preservation Commission, and the Housing Advisory Committee. The staff attends meetings for the Central Idaho Historical Museum (CIHM), Big Payette Watershed Advisory Group (WAG), Idaho Smart Growth, and the Payette River National Scenic Byway. The department also staffs working citizen committees trying to solve planning issues (i.e., Downtown Parking Committee and Airport Code Revision Committee).
