June 3, 2019
BACKGROUND: A request from Timothy and Naomi Stutzman to annex the southerly 2.5-acre
portion of a larger 2.8-acre parcel into the city and zone the land R-4 (Residential) upon annexation.
Currently, the northern .3-acre portion of the property is within the city and zoned city R-1. The

consider the annexation and initial zoning request. Staff presented staff report KA-19-01 providing
details of the proposal and evaluation. Staff recommended that the Planning Board adopt the staff
report as findings of fact, and recommend to the Council that the annexation and initial zoning
request be granted.
There being no public testimony, the public hearing was closed and a motion was presented to adopt
staff report KA-19-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the
property be annexed with an initial zoning of R-4. Board discussion concluded that the request was
appropriate, and the motion passed unanimously on roll call vote.

STUTZMAN ANNEXATION
ANNEXATION AND INITIAL ZONING OF R-4 UPON ANNEXATION
STAFF REPORT #KA-19-01
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
MAY 6, 2019
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council
regarding a request from Timothy and Naomi Stutzman to annex land into city
limits with an initial zoning designation of R-4 upon annexation. A public hearing
has been scheduled before the planning board for May 22, 2019, 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
A request from Timothy and Naomi Stutzman to annex the southerly 2.5-acre
portion of a larger 2.8-acre parcel into the city and zone the land R-4 (Residential)
upon annexation. Currently, the northern .3-acre portion of the property is
within the city and zoned city R-1. The southern 2.5-acre portion of the property
is within the county and zoned county R-1. Historically, city policy once allowed
for portions of properties fronting city right-of-ways to be annexed without
annexing the remainder of the parcel. Reasoning for this policy was because if
the owner had no intentions of developing the remaining portion of the property,
they were not required to annex it in for tax purposes. The owners of the parcel
would like to annex the remainder of the parcel into the city for potential
development with city services. In addition to zoning the 2.5-acre portion of the
property R-4 upon annexation, staff also recommends that the northern .3-acre
portion of the property be rezoned from city R-1 to R-4 so that the entire property
shares the same zoning. Water and Sanitary sewer service are in the vicinity of
the property and upon annexation extensions can be constructed to serve the
entire property when development is requested.
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: Timothy and Naomi Stutzman
3520 Lower Valley Road
Kalispell, MT 59901

B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property is located at
724 Sunnyside Drive. The property to be annexed with an initial zoning of
R-4 can be described as the southerly 2.5-acres of Tract 7ABB in Section
19, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
The portion of the property to be rezoned from city R-1 to city R-4 can be
described as the northerly .3-acres of Tract 7ABB in Section 19, Township
28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is currently developed
with accessory structures; however, a majority of the property is
undeveloped grasslands back to Ashley Creek. The zoning on the area to be
annexed is county R-1 (Suburban Residential). This district is defined as "A
district to accommodate estate -type development. These areas would
normally be located in rural areas away from concentrated urban
development, typically not served by water or sewer services, or in areas
where it is desirable to permit only low -density development (e.g. extreme
topography, areas adjacent to floodplains, airport runway alignment
extensions) ."
The northern portion of the property within city limits is zoned city R-1
(Residential). The R-1 Zoning District is defined as "A transitional district
intended to provide for estate -type residential development and for the
performance of limited agriculture activities. This district would normally be
located in transitional area on the fringes of the city and serve as a buffer
between urban and rural/agriculture uses. Lots within this zoning district
may have city municipal water and/or sewer. This zoning district would
typically be found in areas designated as suburban residential on the
Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map."
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zone for the entire 2.8-acre property is city
R-4 (Residential). The R-4 Zoning District is defined as "Comprised of
primarily single-family and duplex dwellings Development within the district
would require all public utilities, and community facilities. This zoning
district would typically be found in areas designated as urban residential on
the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map." The R-4 Zoning District
has a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet and minimum
width of 50 feet.
E. Size: The subject property is 2.8 acres.
F. Adjacent Zoning:
North: City R-4 and County R-1
East: City R-1 and County R-1
West: City R-1 and County R-1
South: City R-4
2
G. Adjacent Land Uses:
North: Single-family
East: Single-family
West: Single-family
South: Vacant land and Ashley Creek
H. General Land Use Character:
The general land use category of the area can be described as a primarily
single-family residential. Much of the area directly to the south of the subject
property is located within FEMA Flood Zone adjacent to Ashley Creek. This
area will likely not be developed.
I. Utilities and Public Services:
City water and sewer mains are both located within Sunnyside Drive
bordering the property to the north. When annexed, the developer will be
required to pay the cost for the utility extensions. The design and sizing of
water and sewer extensions will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell
Public Works Department prior to development of the site.

I. ANNEXATION EVALUATION
1. Compliance with the growth policy:
Two primary mechanisms for managing growth in the City of Kalispell exist
which are to rely on redevelopment and 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, contains the following goal and policy that are relevant to this
particular annexation request:
3
Gnal
1. Make public water and sewer available to areas that are in close
proximity to services.
Policy:
2. Annexation to the City of Kalispell should be required when water
and sewer services are extended to an unincorporated area to
provide services for new development.
In addition, to this cited goals, 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 municipal
services and annexation. The property proposed for annexation falls inside
the city's direct annexation boundary.
2. Municipal Services:
Municipal water and sewer mains are located within Sunnyside Drive
bordering the property on the north and can be readily extended by the
applicant to serve the site.
The site is currently protected by the Smith Valley 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 Fire Department. The site lies
approximately 11/4 miles from fire station 61 and is readily serviceable by
the city fire, police and ambulance services, all of which now respond to
the adjacent neighborhoods within the City of Kalispell.
Given the level of existing services available to and in place, annexation of
the property will not overburden the municipal services in place.
3. Distance from current city limits:
The project site is currently partially within city limits and adjacent city
limits on the north, west, south and east, thus annexation will serve to be
a logical expansion of the existing city limits.
4. Cost of services:
Once annexed to the city, full city services will be made available to the
property owner. Any necessary infrastructure associated with this
development will be required to be constructed in accordance with the City
of Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards and any other
.19
development policies, regulations or ordinances that may apply. If
annexed, the property owner will be extending and connecting to city
sewer.
The analysis is only an estimate based on a variety of assumptions. The
analysis does not take into consideration changes in methods of
assessment and estimated costs associated with services. The information
can only be used as a general estimate of the anticipated cost of services
and revenue.
The cost to serve the land proposed for annexation is shown in the
attached cost of service analysis - Initial Annexation. As the property is
vacant, a portion of the site is already inside the city and paying city special
assessments and taxes and a development plan for the remainder of the
property has not been developed, the total cost of services is estimated to
be $0 at this time. Based on the city's taxation and assessment policies,
the property will generate approximately $3,120 in total annual revenue
to the city ($667 in taxes and $2,453 in assessments). Based on this
analysis, the annexation will be net gain to the city of approximately
$3,120.
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 city R-1 and county
R-1. The applicants are requesting city R-4. The Kalispell Zoning
Regulations state that the R-4 Zoning District is "Comprised of primarily
single-family and duplex dwellings. Development within the district would
require all public utilities, and 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. As stated above, the R-4 Zoning District
would typically be found in areas designated as Urban Residential on the
Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map. Therefore, the requested R-
4 Zoning District complies with the growth policy which anticipates the R-
4 Zoning District within the Urban Residential land use category.
5
2. Will the requested zone have an effect on motorized and non -motorized
transportation systems?
The requested zone will have a small effect on motorized and non -motorized
transportation systems if the property is developed, as the R-4 Zoning
District allows for higher density than the current R-1 Zoning District.
Although a small increase in traffic would be anticipated, it is not anticipated
the development of the site will negatively impact the transportation system.
Any development of the property that creates 300 or more vehicle trip per
day would require a traffic impact study. The traffic study evaluates the
impacts the development has on the traffic system and indicates mitigation
necessary to maintain acceptable levels of service.
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
and fire protection, water, and sewer service are available to the area.
4. Will the requested zone promote the public health, safety and general
welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general
welfare by restricting land uses to those that would be compatible with the
adjoining properties.
S. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and lot coverage standards for development occurring on
this site are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to insure
adequate light and air is provided.
6. Will the requested zone promote compatible urban growth?
The requested R-4 Zoning District allows the property to blend into the
urban development surrounding the property. This zoning district
maintains and is compatible with the established land use pattern in this
area which is a mixture of urban single-family residential development and
larger lot county development that is slowly transitioning to more urban
standards.
7. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation,
water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements?
All public services and facilities are currently available to the property. The
property is currently undeveloped. Upon annexation it will not require any
rol
city additional services. The provision of public services will be defined when
a development proposal is crafted for the property.
8. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of
the property for particular uses?
The proposed R-4 Zoning District is consistent with the surrounding urban
development of the area. The R-4 Zone also gives due consideration of the
suitability of this property for the permitted uses in the zoning district.
9. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of
the district?
The proposed zoning is consistent with the character of the area which has
developed to an urban standard.
10. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of people?
The requested zone is consistent with the growth policy of Urban Residential
and surrounding city zoning district, which is also R-4. The R-4 Zoning
District has a maximum density of 3,000 square feet per unit (for
duplex/townhouse), which is an anticipated amount of density within this
area of the city.
11. 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.
12. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land
throughout the municipality?
Urban scale residential development should be encouraged in areas where
services and facilities are available. In this case water and sewer lines are
located immediately north of the property. The proposed zoning is
consistent with the growth policy future land use designation of Urban
Residential and is compatible with the zoning in the area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission
adopt Staff Report #KA-19-01 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).
