The lots are currently vacant and zoned B-5 (Industrial -Business). The intent would be to use the rear parcel for a construction laydown (storage) yard and later develop the front parcel. The property has a PUD placeholder designation, which means that, with limited exceptions, any use or development of the property requires a full PUD submittal. The property is located at 145 and 151 Snowline Lane and can be described as Lots 4 and 5 of Lost Creek Subdivision, according to the map or plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Flathead County, Montana, excepting therefrom that portion of Lot 5 deeded to MDOT in Bargain and Sale Deed, recorded July 12, 1999, as Doc. No. 1999-193-08510, record of Flathead County, Montana. The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing on October 13, 2020, to consider the request. Staff presented staff report KPUD-20-02 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 request be granted subject to 16 listed conditions. No public comments were received. The public hearing was closed, and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KPUD-20-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Planned Unit Development be approved subject to the 16 conditions. A motion to amend condition number 9 was made and seconded to change the condition to read "... The SID would only be created, if necessary, in a situation where the City needs to install water main, sewer main, or road improvements in Snowline Lane to serve any development to the east of Lot 4." The motion to amend passed unanimously. Board discussion concluded that the request was appropriate, and the main motion was approved on a unanimous vote.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 27.02.010, of the Official Zoning Map of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, (Ordinance No. 1677) is hereby amended by designating the property described above as B-5, Industrial/Business, with a Planned Unit Development overlay. SECTION 2. The Planned Unit Development proposed by Hammerquist and Casalegno, LLC upon the real property described above is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: The Planned Unit Development for Snowline Lane includes the following deviation from the Zoning Regulations: (a) Allowed Uses: Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Sec 27.15.030(2), (9), and (13) — Casinos, pre-release centers and private jail facilities, and telecommunication towers/cellular communication towers (including radio, TV, internet, phone and cable providers) are specifically excluded as allowable uses within the PUD. Accessory casinos, as provided for in the zoning ordinance, would be allowed. 2. The development of the site shall be in substantial compliance with the application submitted, the site plan, materials and other specifications as well as any additional conditions associated with the project as approved by the city council. 3. A development agreement shall be drafted by the Kalispell City Attorney between the City of Kalispell and the developer outlining and formalizing the terms, conditions and provisions of approval. The final plan as approved, together with the conditions and restrictions imposed, shall constitute the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for the site that shall be completed and signed by the city and owner prior to the issuance of a building permit. 4. A view -obscuring fence enclosing the laydown yard shall be installed by the developer. The fence shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Kalispell Architectural Review Committee. 5. The developer shall submit to the Kalispell Public Works Department for review and approval a storm water report and an engineered drainage plan that meets the requirements of the current city standards for design and construction. The planned stormwater facility shall be located in an approved utility lot. 6. Prior to development, the developer shall submit a waiver of the right to protest creation of a stormwater maintenance district. This district shall only be activated in the event that the property owner(s) default on the maintenance of the approved stormwater facilities. The taxes levied within the maintenance district shall be determined by the Public Works Department with approvals by the Kalispell City Council. 7. The developer shall submit to the Kalispell Public Works Department prior to construction an erosion/sediment control plan for review and approval. 8. Improvements of Snowline Lane to city collector standards and extension of water and sewer mains are required. The road upgrade and utilities shall extend to the eastern side of the property (Lot 4) from the highway. Under the phasing plan, the proposed laydown yard on Lot 4 could develop without the full improvements; a water main extension will be necessary to the extent required for fire protection. In conjunction with any development of Lot 5 or any other use of Lot 4, the road upgrade and utility extensions shall be required. 9. A waiver of protest to creation of a Special Improvement District ("SID") for the Snowline Lane improvements and utility extensions are a condition of approval prior to commencement of any use on either lot, including the laydown yard. The SID would only be created, if necessary, in a situation where the City needs to install water main, sewer main, or road improvements in Snowline Lane to serve any development to the east of Lot 4. 10. Any required additional right-of-way necessary for street improvements shall be dedicated to the City of Kalispell. Additionally, the existing fee interest in the right-of-way for Snowline Lane shall be dedicated to the City of Kalispell. 11. In order to align improvements with Ashley Meadows Road across Highway 93, part of the design of the Snowline Lane upgrade may need to include a dedication at the southwest corner of Lot 5 if required by the City of Kalispell. It is anticipated the dedication would only involve an area otherwise part of a landscape buffer required by entrance corridor standards. The dedication, if necessary, would be in conjunction with the improvements of Snowline Lane pursuant to the phasing plan. 12. At the time of development of Lot 5 along the highway, appropriate right-of-way improvements, including, but not necessarily limited to, a bike path and landscaping, would be required along with landscape buffering/improvements on the property to meet entrance corridor standards. 13. The developer shall submit water and sanitary sewer plans, applicable specifications, and design reports to the Kalispell Public Works Department and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for concurrent review, with approval of both required prior to construction of the mains at the time the extensions are to be completed. 14. The Kalispell Fire Department shall review and approve access, placement of fire hydrants and fire flows prior to any development. Any required improvements for fire protection shall be installed pursuant to Fire Department requirements. 15. All utilities shall be installed underground. 16. All areas disturbed during development shall be re -vegetated with a weed -free mix immediately after development. SECTION 3. The balance of Section 27.02.010, Official Zoning Map, City of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance not amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 4.

A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Board for October 13, 2020, 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 Hammerquist and Casalegno, LLC has submitted a request for a Commercial Planned Unit Development ("PUD") overlay on two lots containing approximately 2.6 acres of land located at 145 and 151 Snowline Lane. The lots are currently vacant and zoned B-5 (Industrial -Business). The intent would be to use the rear parcel for a construction laydown (storage) yard and later develop the front parcel. The property has a PUD placeholder designation, which means that, with limited exceptions, any use or development of the property requires a full PUD submittal. A: Applicant: Hammerquist & Casalegno, LLC 1417 First Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Technical Assistance: Jackola Engineering 2250 Hwy 93 S Kalispell, MT 59901 B: Location: The property is located at 145 and 151 Snowline Lane and can be described as Lots 4 and 5 of Lost Creek Subdivision, according to the map or plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Flathead County, Montana, excepting therefrom that portion of Lot 5 deeded to MDOT in Bargain and Sale Deed, recorded July 12, 1999, as Doc. No. 1999-193-08510, record of Flathead County, Montana. C: Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is currently vacant. It is zoned B- 5 (Industrial -Business) with a PUD overlay. The PUD has a placeholder designation, which means that there was not a PUD plan originally submitted and that any development or use of the property (other than some narrow exceptions) requires a full PUD submittal. The B-5 is intended to primarily "accommodate a variety of business, warehouse, and light -industrial uses and incorporating these uses into an integrated design for compatibility. Compatibility issues may be addressed through development of an industrial -commercial park development or through a planned unit development (PUD) overlay zoning district. Such uses would typically not create objectionable characteristics (such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odor, smoke, etc.) which extend beyond lot lines. This district should be located near major arterials or rail services." Kaispell Zoning Exhibit -Aug.

Current uses include large -tract residential, an animal clinic, a reception hall, and various light -industrial uses. The Flathead County Zoning Regulations state that this district is intended "to provide areas for light industrial uses and service uses that typically do not create objectionable by-products (such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odors, smoke, etc.), which extend beyond the lot lines. It is also intended that the encroachment of nonindustrial or non -specified commercial uses within the district be prevented other than those listed herein. This district is intended for industrial areas which are located along state and federal highways and contain greater levels of performance and mitigation utilizing increased setbacks, landscape buffering, access control and signage restriction for the purpose of protecting the County's major travel ways from unnecessary encroachments, limiting access points to encourage improved traffic flows and to preserve scenic corridors and entrance ways to major communities."

EVALUATION OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The intent of a PUD district is to serve as an overlay zoning district. The district shall function in concert with one or more of the underlying zones to provide a comprehensive, integrated development plan which will serve to modify the underlying zone and, where appropriate, subdivision standards with the intent of providing flexibility of architectural design and density as well as providing the option to mix land uses and densities while preserving and enhancing the integrity and environmental values of an area. 4 The Snowline Lane PUD would be approximately 2.6-acres, currently consisting of 2 lots. The PUD will be a commercial PUD and function in concert with the B-5 underlying zone. The rear lot would initially be used as a construction laydown yard. There are no other plans at this point for development of either lot, but any future development would need to be consistent with the underlying B-5 zoning and the conditions of this PUD. s, eao v t aEsr cT'u _."_ I LJ I- LJ Lj K H F' H Y J U K V t_ Y KALISPELL MT. 59901 IN THE NWI/4 OF S 19 ESTABLISHED EC. 33 T.26 N�.R.21 W�?X,M., FLATHEAD COUNTY PHA 8 FAX (406) AN 755-3476 D 4 ❑F LOST CREEK SUBDIVISION LOTS 5 DI ���EE�C''7777II br nbloc ks urveying.wm ,�,• Su l ,TUNE 2020 • 98 PURPOSE- TOPOGRAPHY i4 FORS MICHAEL JACKOLA OWNER!

The compliance of the proposed PUD with the city growth policy and, in particular, density and use policies of the plan. The proposed development is located within the Urban Mixed Use land use category. The underlying B-5 zoning district fits within that designation. In the B-5, minimum lot area is 7000 square feet and minimum lot width is 70 feet. Both lots are well in excess of the minimums. Furthermore, no uses are proposed that are not allowed in the B-5 zone. The Kalispell Growth Policy Plan -It 2035 also includes the following policies: Chapter 4 Business and Industry (Urban Mixed -Use areas, 4d) - Within these corridor areas, provide for higher -intensity, mixed -use areas roughly two blocks on both sides of urban highways. As distance from the highway increases, create a gradual transition into 5 the residential neighborhoods by encouraging multi -family, office and other compatible uses as a transition tool with sensitivity to compatible design. Chapter 4 Business and Industry (Urban Mixed -Use areas, 4f) - Allow a compatible mix of higher -intensity uses including office as well as some commercial and light industrial; medium and high density residential and public facilities. B. The extent to which the PUD departs from the underlying zoning and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public interest, and the mitigating conditions that the PUD provides to address the deviations. The only departures from the underlying zoning would be restricting certain uses. Casinos (accessory casinos would be allowed), pre-release centers/private jail facilities, and telecommunication/cellular towers would not be uses allowed under the PUD. Given the specific characteristics of the property, such as the proximity to existing residential areas, including the uses within the PUD would not provide adequate safeguards because conditional use permits are not required within PUDs. C. The extent to which the PUD departs from the subdivision regulations (if subdivision is anticipated) and the public works standards for design and construction applicable to the subject property, the reasons why such departures are deemed to be in the public interest, and the mitigating conditions that the PUD provides to address the deviations; There is not a subdivision as part of the proposal, so there are no departures from the subdivision regulations. If there were a subdivision, improvements of Snowline Lane to city collector standards and extension of water and sewer mains would be required. The road upgrade and utilities would need to extend to the eastern side of the property (Lot 4) from the highway. Typically, those improvements would also be required for projects going through building permit and site review. Given that the property is already subdivided and the initial use of a contractor's laydown yard (i.e. a storage yard) would have limited impact with no public access and no employees on site, requiring the entirety of the upgrades up -front would seem disproportionate. Therefore, it is appropriate to allow a phasing plan. Under the phasing plan, the proposed laydown yard on Lot 4 could develop without the full improvements; a water main extension will be necessary to the extent required for fire protection. In conjunction with any development of Lot 5 or any other use of Lot 4, the road upgrade and utility extensions would be required. A waiver of protest to creation of a Special Improvement District ("SID") for those improvements should be a condition of approval. The SID would only be created, if necessary, in a situation where the City needs to install improvements in Snowline Lane. Also, at the time of development of Lot 5 along the highway, appropriate right-of-way improvements, such as a bike path, would be required along with landscape buffering/improvements on the property to meet entrance corridor standards. 6 D. The overall internal integrity of the PUD including the appropriate use of internal design elements, the use of buffers between different land uses, the use of transitions between uses of greater and lesser intensity, the use of enhanced design features to provide connectedness for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout the PUD and the use of innovative and traditional design to foster more livable neighborhoods; The overall layout of the development utilizes two existing lots accessing off of Snowline Lane. The design plans for a common stormwater facility to be located in a utility lot that will be created for that purpose. The plan calls for buffering between the laydown yard and the surrounding uses by enclosing the entire perimeter with a view -obscuring fence. While there are no internal streets or connections, the eventual development of the property would include street upgrades which would provide sidewalks along the frontage of the property. E. The nature and extent of the common open space in the planned development project, the reliability of the proposals for maintenance and conservation of the common open space and the adequacy or inadequacy of the amount and function of the open space in terms of the land use, densities and dwelling types proposed in the plan; There is no common open space, although there is a common stormwater facility/utility lot planned that would be designed to meet city regulations. A maintenance agreement would need to be provided for, along with a waiver of protest of the creation of a stormwater SID, which would only be created in the event of a failure to properly manage the stormwater on -site. Additionally, while there is no parkland requirement because it is a commercial project, as well as the fact that there is no subdivision occurring with the project, entrance corridor standards will require a 40 foot landscape buffer on Lot 5 along the highway when the property develops. F. The manner in which said plan does or does not make adequate provision for public services, provide adequate control over vehicular traffic and further the amenities of light or air, recreation and visual enjoyment; Public service facilities and infrastructure are adequate for the development of this site. Any new improvements to the property such as storm water retention and water/sewer connections would be installed in accordance with city policies and standards at the developers' expense. Water: Water service to the development will be provided by the City of Kalispell and will tie into the existing main in Highway 93 with an extension to the eastern edge of Lot 4 per the phasing plan. The water main extension will b-- reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. There is adequate capacity within the city's water system to accommodate these lots. Sewer: Sewer service to the subdivision will be provided by the City of Kalispell. The applicant will extend sewer service from the main in Highway 93 to the eastern edge of Lot 4 per the phasing plan. The sewer main extension will be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public 7 Works Department. There is adequate capacity within the city's sewer system to accommodate this subdivision. Solid Waste: Solid waste collection would be provided by Evergreen Disposal. Access and Roads: The property is at the corner of Snowline Lane and Highway 93 South. Access for the lots would be off of Snowline Lane. There is a potential right -out only access onto the highway for the front lot that will be reviewed when that lot develops. The Montana Department of Transportation submitted a comment that any change in use would require their review and approval. There are also city regulations which would require City review and approval as well. The availability of the access will need to be determined at a later date. There are no new roads or extensions required, although development of the lots would require upgrades to the existing Snowline Lane. The upgrades would be to city collector standards, extending to the eastern side of Lot 4, and would be installed per the phasing plan. Also, in order to align improvements with Ashley Meadows Road across the highway, part of the design may need to include a dedication at the southwest corner of Lot 5. It is anticipated the dedication would only involve an area otherwise part of a landscape buffer required by entrance corridor standards. The dedication, if necessary, would be in conjunction with the improvements of Snowline Lane at a later date. Control over vehicular traffic: No improvements are necessary initially as the construction laydown yard would have minimal traffic. Any future development would require road improvements per the phasing plan and, if required by traffic counts associated with a proposed use, a Traffic Impact Study. Storm Water: Any improvements to Snowline Lane will need to account for storm drainage. Stoml water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed per the City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction and storm water management program. Final design will be approved by Kalispell Public Works Department prior to development. Additionally, prior to development, the developer will need to submit a construction storm water management plan to the Public Works Department. This plan will need to show how storm water will be treated and where it will be directed during construction activities. Schools: The property is within the boundaries of School District 929 (Somers) and Flathead High School. It is not anticipated that there would be any students or impact to the schools as a result of the proposed use as commercial property. Police: Police services will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. The department can adequately provide service to this subdivision. Fire Protection: Fire protection services will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. The department can adequately provide service to this development. Prior to development and as part of site review, fire protection, including fire flow and hydrant location, will be reviewed. A water main extension within Snowline Lane will likely be necessary as part of the laydown yard use in order to provide a hydrant in an acceptable location. Fire station 61 is located approximately 3.3 miles away, providing good response time. G. The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the planned development project upon the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be established; The subject property is at the corner of Snowline Lane and Highway 93 South. It was previously annexed into the city, but is surrounded by county property zoned I-1H. The highway frontage in this area contains a mix of uses, including light -industrial, an animal clinic, and a reception hall. The existing city B-5 zoning is generally consistent with neighboring properties with highway frontage. Buffering between the east end of the property and the residential area behind it would be appropriate and the plans provide for a view -obscuring fence to enclose the laydown yard on Lot 4. The fencing would serve to buffer the use from the adjoining properties. H. In the case of a plan which proposes development over a period of years, the sufficiency of the terms and conditions proposed to protect and maintain the integrity of the plan which finding shall be made only after consultation with the city attorney; Required improvements upgrading Snowline Lane to city collector standards and extending city water and sewer mains are part of a phasing plan that is a condition of approval for the PUD. Part of the requirements of the PUD is that the developer would enter into an agreement with the City of Kalispell to adequately ensure that the overall integrity of the development and the installation of required infrastructure are accomplished as proposed. A recommended condition of approval for the PUD would require this agreement be in place prior to development. L Conformity with all applicable provisions of this chapter. Section 27.19.030 of the zoning ordinance allows for a commercial PUD district to be created with a minimum size of at least two developable acres in commercial zones, including the B-5. In this particular case, the property had already received a PUD placeholder designation when it was annexed in 2008. The placeholder designation requires a full PUD application and review process prior to development, which is why the applicant submitted for a PUD. No other specific deviations from the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance or Subdivision Regulations can be identified based upon the information submitted with the application other than those addressed in this report. RECOlV NMNDATION Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt Staff Report #KPUD-20-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the PUD for Snowline Lane be approved subject to the conditions listed below: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1.

Please provide the following information in a narrative format with supporting drawings or other format as needed: a. An overall description of the goals and objectives for the development of the project. Lot 4 (151 Snowline Lane) will be constructed as a secure construction laydown yard, Lot 5 (145 Snowline Lane) will be graded, seeded and maintained as a grass area for a future e-5 development. b. In cases where the development will be executed in increments, a schedule showing the time within phase will be completed. The construction yard for Lot 4 (151 Snowline Lane) would like to be constructed as soon as possible, there is no current plan nor is there any schedule for improvements beyond grading, seeding and maintenance of lot 5 (145 Snowline Lane). c. The extent to which the plan departs from zoning and subdivision regulations including but not limited to density, setbacks and use, and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public interest; No deviations to B-5 foreseen. d. The nature and extent of the common open space in the project and the provisions for maintenance and conservation of the common open space; and the adequacy of the amount and function of the open space in terms of the land use, densities and dwelling types proposed in the plan; Gentle swales and set back to Lot 4's screen/security fencing off snowline lone's north ROW easement will allow most of the current trees to remain as a buffer and screen public views into the construction yard from the south. Nearly % of an acre (-60' X 150') will be dedicated to an openly graded and shallow grass swale area between the Lot 5 and Lot 4. This area will be grass/mowed and double as a storm water retention area for both lots 4 & 5 and will be maintained as part of the landscape area. The western boundary of Lot 5 (along U.S. 93 S) will have the view corridor set -back (-30') and is planned to be graded and grassed with swale for ROW drainage to the south. e. The manner in which services will be provided such as water, sewer, storm water management, schools, roads, traffic management, pedestrian access, recreational facilities and other applicable services and utilities. Sewer, water and storm utilities are available adjacent to the project in the U.S. 93 ROW. Flathead electric and NW Energy gas services are available at the site. Page 2 of 5 Planning Department 201 1st Avenue East CI rY "F Kalispell, MT 59901 P Phone: (406) 758-7940 KAL11SELL Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispell.com/planning James Freyholtz from (MDT Kalispell Area Traffic Engineer) confirmed that the right -turn only will be allowed to remain for Lot 5 onto U.S. 93 S northbound at the current approach location. A new approach off Snowline Lane at the east property line to Lot 4 (151 Snowline Lane) mitigates construction of structures in front of the east neighbor's residence and improves the site line for westbound traffic on Snowline Lane for vehicles entering/exiting the construction yard. Additionally, Snowline Lane's connectivity to Rocky Cliff, Demersville Road, Lower Valley Road and ultimately the traffic light at U.S. 93 at 4-corners allows additional options for safe ingress/egress to primary highways and arterial streets/roads from the development. There are no pedestrian or recreational provisions planned, nor are there any of these types of provisions that can be extended from neighboring properties. Note that the current bike -path traverses north -south of along the west (opposite side) of U.S. 93 and does not cross under U.S. 93 to the east side until well south of Snowline lane. f. The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the planned development project upon the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be established Development perfectly suited for the City of Kalispell's e-5 underlying zoning designation. g. How the plan provides reasonable consideration to the character of the neighborhood and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed use. Compatible with underlying City of Kalispell e-5 zoning designation, see also attached development plan and responses above. h. Where there are more intensive uses or incompatible uses planned within the project or on the project boundaries, how with the impacts of those uses be mitigated. No intensive or incompatible uses planned. i. How the development plan will further the goals, policies and objectives of the Kalispell Growth Policy. This development fits the City's "Highway 93 South Corridor Area Plan" within Kalispell Growth policy for contribution to local commercial and industrial economic growth and aligns with the policies developed for this Plan. j.
