REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: PJ Sorensen, Zoning Ad 'm'strator
Chris Kukulski, City tanager
SUBJECT: Buffalo Commons PtTD/KRMC addition
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2001
BACKGROUND: Kalispell Regional Medical Center has been moving forward on a series of
additions to the existing hospital building. One of the most recent building permit applications
includes a surgical center to be located between the old Sunnyview Dane and the new street
location. The surgical center was part of the raster plan CUP approved by the council in June
2000.
Subsequent to the CUP approval, KRMC requested a zoning ordinance amendment to the
height limit in the H- l Health Care) zone, with a particular focus on the new patient tower. The
request was approved and allowed hospitals to be constructed to a height of 60 feet in the H- 1.
The surgical center, however, is not located in the -1; It is located in the Buffalo Commons
PUD and has a height limit of 35 feet. The proposed structure would be approximately 45 feet
tall.
KRMC initiated a request to modify the language contained in the PUD agreement/
covenants for the medical/professional facilities pod. The proposal would allow 60 feet for
hospital structures, including outpatient surgical centers. The Site Development Review
Committee discussed the proposal and deemed it to be a major change, As a major change, the
proposal is then submitted to the Council. No objections to the proposal were raised by Site
Review, and it was noted that the change substantiafly mirrors the height standard 1n the adjacent
H-1 zone,
1n addition to written approval by the City, the covenants also require approval by % o
the landowners in the pod. According to KRMC, they own land in excess of the necessary 7 %.
RECOMMENDATION: The Council move to approve the "Second Amendment t

FISCAL EFFECTS: MhkW

PJ.
As per our discussion this day. I would like Site Plan Review to consider a request to amend the
"MedicaWro essio,nal facilities" covenants of Buffalo Commons as follows;
Amend Articte V!, Sermon 2, second sentence to mod: "Mwdmum builkUng height ill be 35
feet 9=e t a height not exceeding 60 feet shall be permitte for hospital shuctums, including
outpadwt surgical centers."
This aquast is consistent with the 0-foot height allowance for hospitals in the H-1 district. If you view
this as a major change, l would appre ate your earliest considemtion of this request by the City
Council.
Please contact me if you reed any other information concerning this request
