SUBJECT: Ordinance 1817 Second Reading — Westside Parking Management Zone
Amendment
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2018
BACKGROUND: This is the second reading of Ordinance 1817, an ordinance amending Ordinance
1759 to include the 700 Block of 6th Avenue West within the Westside Parking Management Zone.
Ordinance 1759 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.
The Kalispell City Council, at their meeting on December 5, 2018, approved the first reading of
Ordinance 1817, unanimously upon roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the second
reading of Ordinance 1817, amending Ordinance 1759 to include the 700 Block of 6th Avenue West
within the Westside Parking Management Zone. The area to be included 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.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal impact to the City.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.
