AND TO DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell has received a petition from
Robert A. Richardson, owner of the property described above,
requesting that the City of Kalispell annex the territory into
the City, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development office has made a
report on the annexation/ zoning of the territory dated July 7,
1992, and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
commission held a public hearing on the annexation and zoning of
the property, pursuant to Section 27.34.080, Kalispell Zoning
ordinance on July 14, 1992 and recommended that the territory be
annexed into the City of Kalispell and be zoned R-4, Two Family
Residential in accordance with the Kalispell Zoning ordinance and
the Kalispell City -County Master Plan, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kalispell held a
public hearing pursuant to Section 27-34.080, Kalispell Zoning
ordinance on September 8, 1992 to consider the report made by the
Flathead Regional Development Office and the recommendation of
the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission,
and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the R-4, Two Family
Residential zoning classification and determined that
classification would be compatible for the intended use upon the
property, and
WHEREAS, based upon the report of the Flathead Regional
Development office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is in accordance with the
Kalispell City -County Master Plan and the Kalispell Zoning
ordinance based upon the following criterion:
E
454
Does the reguested zone -comply with the Master Plan?
The property is designated by the Kalispell City -County
Master Plan as "Urban Residential". The requested R-4
-zoning classification is in conformance with that
designation.
Is the reguested zone designed -to lessen congestion in
the streets?
A change from county zoning to city zoning is not
likely to affect vehicular traffic. The lots are
small, having less than 45 foot front lot lines.
Houses are already on two of the lots. The zone change
isn't likely to increase the development potential of
the property due to the small size of the I ' ots and the
small size of the remaining undeveloped lot.
Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic,
and other dangers?
The property does not appear to be subject to any
particular natural hazards. Any additional development
of the property will require compliance with all city
safety codes including uniform codes relating to fire
and building safety. Upon annexation, the property
will be served with all municipal services including
police and fire protection. Water and sewer service is
available to the area.
Wil 1 the requested zone promote the health and general
welfare?.
The requested zoning classification will promote the
health and general welfare by restricting land uses to
those that would be compatible to the adjoining
properties. Other city codes that are intended to
serve the "general welfare" would also be applicable to
any additional development on the property.
Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and
air?
The property development standards of an R-4 zoning
classification establish setback, height, and coverage
standards for new development. These standards are
sufficient to ensure adequate light and air consistent
with the character of the surrounding area.
E
455
I
Will the rectuested zone prevent the overcrowding of
land?
Zoning (bulk and dimensional standards) and site plan
review authority will ensure that new development is
adequately served with utilities and other public
demand services. The land coverage allowance is
identical to that of the adjoining properties.
Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of
Reople?
The eXiBting use of the 3 lots is not likely to change
with the application of a city zoning classification.
other development limitations of the property,
including the small size of the lots, will probably
constrain the development potential of the property.
Population density is not likely to increase.
Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate
provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
Rarks, and other Public requirements?
The zone change is not likely to increase demands for
these services since 2 of the 3 lots are already
developed. Most public services have been extended to
those lots. Any future development of the "park" will
be reviewed for adequacy of these services in
conjunction with the city site plan review authority.
Does the requested zone give consideration to the
particular suitability of the property for particular
uses?
The use and density characteristics of the property
more closely reflect the description of an R-4
classification as opposed to the R-1 classification.
Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration
to the character of the district?
The proposed zoning is an "urban" residential
classification that anticipates moderate to high
residential densities due to the adequacy and
availability of a full range of urban services. The
land use characteristics of the property already
reflect this urban scale of zoning.
456
Will the pronosed zone conserve thg value of buildings?
The city classification more closely corresponds to the
existing lot size and uses of the property as compared
to the county classification. This is a "movement"
towards zoning conformity and therefore should benefit
the economic value of the property. Adjoining
properties should also benefit since the proposed
zoning will allow the same uses and density that is
common to the surrounding area.
Will the reguested zone encourage the most appropriate
use of the land throughout the municipality?
The requested R-4 zoning classification will promote
land uses consistent with the anticipation of the
Master Plan and with the surrounding uses.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. That all of the real property described as
Lots 1, 2, and 3 and the "Park" of Hammers Subdivision
