SUBJECT: Westside Parking Management Zone Amendment
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2018
BACKGROUND: A request has been submitted to include the 700 Block of 6th Avenue West within the
Westside Parking Management Zone. The Westside Parking Management Zone was established by
Ordinance 1759 on August 2015. At that time, it was found that within the vicinity of Flathead High
School the demand for curbside parking far exceeds the curbside space available resulting in limited
availability of curbside parking for residents, congested streets and compromised roadside safety.
Accordingly, residents now get two free parking permits (can purchase unlimited guest passes) and
students/teachers now have to purchase parking permits in order to park on -street within the Parking
Management Zone. Student -teacher -employee parking is limited to one side of each Street or Avenue
within the Parking Management Zone.
Ordinance 1759 allows for the amendment of the Parking Management Zone by increasing or
reducing the boundary after holding a public hearing before the Kalispell City Planning Board.
Requests to be added or removed from the management zone shall be done at the block face level
(both sides) of the avenue or street by petition from at least 75% of the property owners. In this case,
a petition has been submitted by property owners on the 700 Block of 6th Avenue West to be included
in the Westside Parking Management Zone. The petition includes a request to be include within the
Parking Management Zone from 9 of the 12 property owners (75%).
The area proposed to be included within the Westside Parking Management Zone can be described as
Lots 7-12 of Block 187and Lots 1-5 of Block 188 of Kalispell Townsite Company's Addition No. 1
and Lot 2 of Clothier Subdivision in Section 18, Township 28N, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead
County, Montana.
The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing November 13, 2018, to consider the
request. Staff presented the request providing details of the proposal and evaluation. Two residents of
the 700 Block spoke out in favor of the amendment. There being no further public comment, the
public hearing was closed and a motion was presented to amend Ordinance 1759 Exhibit `B" and
Exhibit "A" to include the 700 Block of 6th Avenue West in the Westside Parking Management Zone.
Board discussion concluded that the request was appropriate, and the motion passed unanimously
upon roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the first reading
of Ordinance 1817, amending Ordinance 1759 to include the 700 Block of 6ch Avenue West in the
Westside Parking Management Zone. The area to be included can be described as Lots 7-12 of Block
187 and Lots 1-5 of Block 188 of Kalispell Townsite Company's Addition No. 1 and Lot 2 of
Clothier Subdivision in Section 18, Township 28N, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana. Staff recommends an effective date of first day of school fall 2019, in order to allow Public
Works adequate time to install signage.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal impact to the City.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.
