Rezoning for 63‑lot McCall subdivision moved to agenda after drainage, traffic concerns

County planner Josh presented a return rezoning request for a 63‑lot residential subdivision in the McCall area and the commission voted to move the item to the agenda ahead of a scheduled public hearing. The plan would create three lots zoned at a one‑acre minimum and leave the remainder as R‑1 residential with a 12,500‑square‑foot minimum lot size.

Josh said the proposal had been denied previously and that opponents had raised "drainage and traffic impacts," and he told commissioners the issues would be addressed in the site plan and a required traffic study. "There was opposition to the, proposal. Most of the issues were centered around drainage and traffic impacts," Josh said. He added the subdivision is consistent with the county's comprehensive plan and land‑use map.

Planning staff noted the county's PNC recommended approval with a condition that density shall not exceed 1.4 dwelling units per acre. The planner said the applicant met state requirements to reapply after the earlier denial and that the same development plan was resubmitted.

The commission voted to move the rezoning to the agenda so the scheduled public hearing could proceed. The public hearing is the next formal step; site‑plan review and a traffic study were identified as the mechanisms the county will use to evaluate drainage and peak‑hour level‑of‑service impacts.

The commission did not approve the rezoning at this meeting; the transcript records only the vote to place the item on the agenda for a hearing.
