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 classifications for the territory
is appropriate based upon the following criterion:
1. Does the requested zone comply with the master plan?
The official map of the Kalispell. City -County Master Plan
shows a blending of land use designations for the subject
area. Industrial is shown to the west and Urban Residential
to the south. Given the character of this and adjacent
property, Urban Residential is the appropriate designation.
The proposed RA-1 zoning classification would be consistent
with that designation.
2. Is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in
the streets? ---
The proposed zoning classification will not promote a radical
change in the current use of the property. Adequate mechanisms
in the Zoning Ordinance are in place to ensure review of any
proposal to increase density on the property so traffic will
not increase unless subsequent reviews indicate that the
associated roadways can accommodate the traffic.
3. Will the re uested zone secure safety from fire, panic,
and other dangers?
Annexation should benefit public safety. Police and fire
protection will be available from the City. These and other
services can adequately accommodate uses that might be accommo-
dated in an RA--1 zoning district.
4. Will the requested zone change promote the health and
general welfare?
The requested zoning classification will ensure orderly growth
and development and be complementary to the surrounding zoning
classifications. Any development that might be associated
with the zoning district will be built in accordance to City
of Kalispell standards and be provided with a full range of
public services. The RA-1 zoning district will not create
an undue burden on the city services nor pose additional
hazards to the general public.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and
air?
The requested residential zoning classification will provide
more open space than the existing commercial classification
through compliance with the bulk and dimensional standards
of the RA-1 classification.
b. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowdinE of
land?
Overcrowding of land will not result in an RA-1 district.
The maximum lot coverage is 40% and sufficient utilities and
other services are available to the property to serve the
current land use density.
7. Will the re uested zone avoid undue concentration of
people?
Concentration of people is a function of land use density.
Overcrowding will be avoided by requiring conditional approval
for any development of the property beyond its current density.
8. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision
of transportation, water sewerage, schools, parks, and other
uric re quirements?
The requested zoning district will promote the existing "status
quo" for the property. As such, no additional impact to
schools, parks, and other similar services is expected.
Public health will be promoted by connection to the city
sewer facilities. impacts to other public services will be
further evaluated during "conditional" review of any additional
development of the property.
9. Does the reclilested zone give consideration to the particular
suitability of t e ro ert or articular uses?
The proposed zoning will allow continuation of the existing
uses of the property, which is the desire of the landowner.
10. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration
to the character of the district?
The proposed zoning "fits" the character of the surrounding
area. It complements the adjoining residential uses and
provides an effective transition between nearby commercial
and low density residential uses.
11. Will'the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
The zoning will maintain the current residential status of
the property. Furthermore, the zoning will provide a practical
development pattern for the area, in general. This will
help protect property values on site and in the vicinity.
12. Will the reguested zone encourage the most appropriate
use o the lan throu hour t e munici a it ?
The subject property is in a transition area between residential
and commercial uses. A multi -family district, as proposed,
will provide an effective buffer between these different
land uses.
