Re: zone change and CUP request at 2282 Highway 93 South, Kalispell, MT
Dear Sirs:
The City Council for the City of Kalispell reviewed and considered your request for a
zone change of the property located at 2282 Highway 93 South, Kalispell, Montana from B-2
General Business to P-1 Public and for a conditional use permit to operate the Northwest
Montana Transition Center. .After considering all of the evidence before it the City Council
determined that it is appropriate to change the zoning for this parcel to P- 1 Public and to grant
your request for a conditional use permit for the purposes of operating a residential pre-release
center for the State of Montana.
Your application materials represented to the City Council that you conducted
considerable due diligence in selecting this particular site. That investigation revealed, among
other things, that the site is located 1) on Highway 93, a well traveled thoroughfare with the
normal noises associated with a busy highway, and 2) near the City Airport and within the
Airport Affected Area, also subject to the noises associated with air traffic, and 3) next to a
business that sells and maintains motorized vehicles that emit the usual sounds associated with
that activity. All of these legitimate activities will continue as you operate the residential pre-
release center. It is implicit in your application that you do not consider these preexisting
activities as incompatible with your use of the parcel and the City Council, by its action, did not
consider these uses as incompatible.
The City anticipates your success in the operations of the facility as well becoming an
integral and beneficial part of the community. It is with great interest that we will follow your
progress and will look forward to receiving reports of your endeavors.
Sincerely,
7

Interim City Manager
