A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Board for August 10, 2021, beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The Planning Board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The request is based on a desire to add approximately 2 feet in depth to seven existing city sublots in Glacier Village Greens Phase 19 which were created in 2020. The added depth would allow for more typical floor plans used throughout the other lots in the development. The lots back up to the Village Greens Golf Course. Since the golf course is in the county, while the existing residential lots are in the city, annexation is necessary to expand the lots due to a city policy which would not allow lots to be split between city and county jurisdictions. The subject property is currently within the county and zoned county R-5, which is similar to the city R-4 zone requested by the applicant. This report evaluates the application in accordance with state and local regulations. The annexation request and initial city zoning classification will be reviewed in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. This property will be annexed under the provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2-4610, M.C.A., Annexation by Petition. The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by Section 27.29.020 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and 76-2-303 M.C.A. Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A. A. Petitioner / Owner: Go Development, LLC 115 Taelor Road Kalispell, MT 59901 B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property is located at 199-211 Palmer Drive in Glacier Village Greens and can be described as a portion of Assessors Tract 1 in the Southeast quarter of the Northwest Quarter and in the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 32, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. 1 C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: Glacier Village Greens is a residential community and related golf course. The residential area is zoned R-4 and is in the city, while the golf course is zoned county R-5. D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning is city R-4 (Residenital). The Kalispell Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the R-4 zoning district is a district “comprised of primarily single-family and duplex dwellings. Development within the district will require all public utilities, and all community facilities. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designated as urban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map.” E. Size: The subject property is approximately 0.02 acres. F. Adjacent Zoning: North: City R-4/ County R-5 East: City R-4/County R-5 West: City R-4/County R-5 South: City R-4/County R-5 G. Adjacent Land Uses: North: Single-family/golf course East: Single-family/golf course West: Single-family/golf course South: Single-family/golf course 2 H. General Land Use Character: The general land use of the area a single-family residential area located on a golf course. The development of the area has occurred over the course of thirty years and is an established residential neighborhood that is still seeing the final phases of home construction. The bluffs overlooking the property also are developed with single- family homes. I. Utilities and Public Services: Water and sewer service are available in the immediate vicinity. The mains were recently installed as part of the development of this phase of the project. If any extensions were necessary to provide service, they would need to be designed and installed by the property owner subject to review and approval by the Kalispell Public Works Department under the City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. Sewer: City of Kalispell Water: Evergreen Water Refuse: Evergreen Disposal Electricity: Flathead Electric Cooperative Natural Gas: Northwestern Energy Telephone: CenturyLink Schools: School District 5 – Edgerton Elementary/Glacier High School Fire: Evergreen Rural Fire/City of Kalispell upon annexation Police: Flathead County Sheriff/City of Kalispell upon annexation 3  I. ANNEXATION EVALUATION A. Compliance with the growth policy: Two primary means for managing growth in the City of Kalispell are redevelopment/infill within the current city limits or annexation of outlying areas. A goal of the growth policy is to provide a comprehensive, effective growth management plan that provides for all the needs of the community, is adaptable to changing trends and is attuned to the overall public welfare. Chapter 9, Public Infrastructure and Services, includes a goal to “make public water and sewer available to areas that are in close proximity to services,” and annexation allows for such extensions to happen. In addition, the city council adopted an annexation policy in 2011, with a corresponding map, as an addendum to the city’s growth policy document. The purpose of the annexation policy is to give the Planning Board, the Council, and the development community direction when property owners outside of the city limits are requesting annexation. The property proposed for annexation falls inside the city’s direct annexation boundary. B. Municipal Services: The City of Kalispell has an extension of services plan that details how services would be extended to the annexed property and services were recently extended to the existing lots pursuant to that policy. Both sanitary sewer and water service are available within the right-of-way adjacent to the property, although the water service is provided by Evergreen Water. Any additional extensions necessary to provide service will need to be designed and installed by the property owner subject to review and approval by the Kalispell Public Works Department under the City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. The existing lots being expanded are currently within the city and are protected by the City of Kalispell Fire and Police Departments, although the 2-foot area being annexed is currently under the jurisdiction of the Evergreen Rural Fire District and the Flathead County Sheriff’s office. The applicant has submitted a Notice of Withdrawal from Rural Fire District. At the time of annexation, the property will be served by the Kalispell Police and Fire Departments. The site lies approximately 1.7 miles from Fire Station 62 and 2.7 miles from Fire Station 61, and is readily serviceable by the city fire, police, and ambulance services. Given the level of existing services available to the property, annexation will not overburden the municipal services in place. C. Distance from current city limits: The subject property is immediately adjacent to the existing city limits line. D. Cost of services: The typical cost of service analysis used by the City does not work well within this situation. The seven sublots that are expanding are already within the city limits with all necessary infrastructure in place. The added two feet in depth does not change the number of dwelling units or the likely use of the property. The potential 2-foot increase in home size would have no discernable impact on the cost of services, but would generate a slight increase in home value and tax revenue to the city. The increase in revenue would more than offset any increase in cost of services. 4 II. INITIAL ZONING AND ZONE CHANGE EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-303, M.C.A. Findings of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A. and Section 27.29.020, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently zoned county R-5 (Two Family Residential). The applicants are requesting city R-4 (Residential). The Kalispell Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the R-4 zoning district is a district “comprised of primarily single-family and duplex dwellings. Development within the district will require all public utilities, and all community facilities. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designated as urban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map.” 1. Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy? The Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as Urban Residential. The zoning ordinance contemplates R-4 as an appropriate zone within that land use designation and the adjoining land within the city limits is also zoned R-4. The requested zone complies with the growth policy. 2. Will the requested zone have an effect on motorized and non-motorized transportation systems? The access for the property is onto Palmer Drive, a public road which then provides common access to West Evergreen Drive. Since the existing lots have already been final platted with infrastructure in place, annexation and zoning of the additional two feet would not change, the impact on the transportation systems and the proposed zone will not have a significant impact on the transportation systems. 5 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers? Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in the case of an emergency. There are no features related to the property which would compromise the safety of the public. All municipal services including police/fire protection and sewer service will be available upon annexation, although solid waste will continue to be private and water is through Evergreen Water. 4. Will the requested zone promote the public health, safety and general welfare? The general health, safety, and welfare of the public will be promoted through general city regulations designed to regulate allowable uses. In this case, the requested zoning classification of R-4 will promote the health and general welfare by restricting land uses to those that would be compatible with the adjoining properties and those in the vicinity. 5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air? Setback, height, and lot coverage standards for any development occurring on this site are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to ensure adequate light and air is provided. 6. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? All public services and facilities are available to the property. 7. Will the requested zone promote compatible urban growth? The requested zoning is consistent with the type of growth projected for this area and is consistent with the current zoning in the county for the properties at this intersection. The proposed district maintains and is compatible with the established land use pattern in this area. 8. Does the requested zone give consideration to the character of the district and its particular suitability for particular uses? The proposed R-4 Zoning District is consistent with the surrounding residential development in the immediate and general area. The proposed zone fits into that overall pattern and gives due consideration of the suitability of this property for the allowed uses in the zoning district, such as proximity of city services. 9. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the R-4 Zoning District will promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other properties in the area. Future development on the property will be reviewed for compliance with the dimensional standards and design review criteria to ensure its appropriateness for the area and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. 6 10. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the municipality? Urban scale development should be encouraged in areas where services and facilities are available. In this case, water and sanitary sewer are located within the public right-of-way adjacent to the property. The proposed zoning is consistent with the growth policy and is compatible with current zoning in the immediate area. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt Staff Report #KA-21-03 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the property be annexed and the zoning for the entire property be city R-4 (Residential). 7  KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 10, 2021 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL The regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning CALL Commission was called to order at 6:00 p.m. Board members present were Chad Graham, Doug Kauffman, Rory Young, Joshua Borgardt, Kurt Vomfell and Ronalee Skees.

Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of August 10, 2021 Page | 1 KCU-21-06 – THE SILOS File #KCU-21-06 - A request from Big Sky Investments Kalispell, LLC (The Silos) for a conditional use permit to allow additional height over 60 feet for buildings on property located within the B-3 (Core Area Business) zone. The property is being redeveloped, but has recently contained various buildings, grain silos, and railroad tracks. The existing silos will remain in place with the addition of a restaurant on top, and new multi-family residential buildings will be constructed. The height of the silos with the restaurant will be approximately 110 ft and the height of the multi-family buildings will be approximately 70 feet. STAFF REPORT PJ Sorensen representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed #KCU-21-06. The staff recommends that the Kalispell Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-21-06 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION Kauffman asked about projected use inside the Silos. Sorensen responded it will be limited to mechanical type of uses such as elevators and water boosters. Vomfell feels that the three crossings seem a little excessive, Sorensen noted that the site review process has not yet begun and that the site review committee will try to reduce the crossings as much as they can. PUBLIC COMMENT Toby McIntosh – Jackola Engineering – representative for the applicant – mentioned that they are still working on the structural analysis of the grain elevators such as scanning to find rebar and concrete thickness. He also offered to answer any questions. LaRae Miller – 62 6th Ave WN – she is concerned with the amount of people that will be housed in the apartments on the NE corner because they are so close to her property. She is also wondering if the alley behind her house will be opened to through traffic, right now it is closed off by a chain link fence. MOTION Vomfell moved and Skees seconded a motion that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report #KCU-21-06 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION Vomfell noted he likes the condition limiting the number of crossings on the property. Kauffman agreed, he would like to see the crossings limited to one. Skees asked staff is the public comment regarding the alley way could be addressed. Sorensen noted that this CUP is for the additional height of the buildings not for the multifamily use, so the board really isn’t looking at density or increased traffic with this CUP. At this point a traffic impact study has not been completed and is not required until the building permit application is turned in.
