Does the Requested Zone Comnly with the Master Plan?
The property is included in the Kalispell City -County Master Plan
as well as the South Woodland/Greenacres Neighborhood Plan which is
in the final stages of approval. The neighbordhood plan designates
the residential areas as single family residential with the
exception of some small pockets of property developed with
townhouses or apartments which are designated high density
residential.
Residential areas have been designated as R-2 or R-3, both single
family residential districts with the exception of the multi -family
areas which have been proposed for RA-1 Low Density Residential
Apartment.
Commercial and industrial properties which are designated as such
on the neighborhood plan have been proposed for B-2, general
commercial, or I-1, light industrial, in accordance with the plan.
The proposed zoning designations are in compliance with the master
plan for the area.
Some change may be anticipated with the change in zoning to less
congestion in the street specifically with regard to future
residential development because some of the residential densities
have been decreased in the proposed zoning.

sted Zone Secure Safety from Fire., Panic and Othe
Dane r a ?
No features on the property exist which would compromise the safety
of the public. Any new construction would be required to be in
compliance with the building safety codes of the City which relate
to fire and building safety. Adequate access is available to
accommodate emergency and life safety equipment.
The proposed zoning classifications will promote the health and
general welfare by helping to promote the goals of the neighborhood
plan, reducing potential residential traffic volumes as it relates
to future development and separates non -compatible uses.
Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring
on this site are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to
insure adequate light and air is provided.
The proposed zoning designations attempt to limit development to
single family residential area and not to increase the amount of
commercial and industrial properties already in existence. Thus,
the proposed zoning attempts to prevent the overcrowding of land.
Minimum lot standards and use standards, as well as subdivision
development standards, will avoid the undue concentration of people
at the time future properties are developed.

the area are further addressed under the Extension of Services
Plan, Exhibit A.
Does the Requested Zone__ Give Consideration to_ the Particular
Suitability of the Property for Particular Usea7
The proposed zoning district is consistent with the goals of the
neighborhood plan which was recently drafted and is in the final
stages of approval. An evaluation of land uses in the area was
considered as part of the drafting of the plan. The zoning gives
adequate consideration to the suitability of the land proposed for
zoning.
The general
character of the area is
primarily
single family
residential
with a mix of commercial and industrial uses along
Highway 93.
The proposed zoning has
attempted
to create a
separation of incompatible uses, retain
a density
single family
residential
character and separate then
from the more intensive
commercial and industrial uses.
Will the Proposed
Zone Conserve_ the Value
of Buildings?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the
proposed zoning attempts to accommodate existing uses while
carrying out the goals of the neighborhood plan and master plan.
The proposed zoning is in general compliance with the neighborhood
plan and master plan which reflect the goals for the entire
municipality as well as the immediate community.
