3.3.01: PURPOSE:

The McCall area comprehensive plan details the goals, objectives, actions, and policies for the city's residential areas, including the preservation of the natural resources of the area and enhancement of existing residential neighborhoods. It is the purpose of this chapter to implement the plan's vision through development regulations that allow for a range of residential opportunities for all socioeconomic groups, ensure that new residential development maintains existing and achieves new, quality neighborhoods, and provides holding areas for future urban development.

   (A)   Rural Residential (RR) Zone: The RR land use designation is the least intense residential designation in the city, and is intended to guide development away from unsuitable areas, to preserve ecologically sensitive and important recreation areas. This zone allows for the development of single-family homes on significant acreage at a maximum density of one dwelling unit per ten (10) acres.

   (B)   Residential, Estate (RE) Zone: The RE land use designation permits the development of large lot, single-family residential areas, and is intended to provide for a rural setting and encourage preservation of open space and recreation areas. This zone allows a maximum density of one dwelling unit per five (5) acres.

   (C)   Residential, One Dwelling Unit Per Acre (R1) Zone: The R1 land use designation permits the development of large lot single- family residential areas and is intended to allow larger lot residential subdivisions. The zone allows a maximum density of one dwelling unit per acre.

   (D)   Residential, Four Dwelling Units Per Acre (R4) Zone: The R4 land use designation permits the development of low-density single-family residential neighborhoods. These neighborhoods would consist of larger home sites. The zone allows a maximum density of four (4) dwelling units per acre.

   (E)   Residential, Eight Dwelling Units Per Acre (R8) Zone: The R8 land use designation permits the development of medium density single-family housing and is intended to maintain traditional residential neighborhoods. The zone allows a maximum density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre.

   (F)   Residential, Sixteen Dwelling Units Per Acre (R16) Zone: The R16 land use designation permits the development of neighborhoods with multiple-family dwelling units and is intended to encourage a variety of housing opportunities. The zone allows a maximum density of sixteen (16) dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 821, 2-23-2006, eff. 3-16-2006)
