zoning classification of B-2 to the above -described tract of land with a
Planned Unit Development overlay to be known as Bish's RV PUD.
SECTION 2. The Planned Unit Development overlay proposed by Bish's RV upon the
real property described above is hereby approved subject to the following
conditions:
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 preliminary plat as approved by the city council.
2. 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

shall not be allowed without mitigation. The developer shall work closely with the Parks

the required safety guidelines. It is intended that when the project is developed the ponds
will act as features, particularly along the roadways, rather than a private maintenance
utility facility.

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

accordance with the City of Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction. All design
work shall be reviewed and approved in writing by the Kalispell Public Works Department
prior to construction.
10. Water and sewer main extensions shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
City of Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction and in compliance with the city's
facilities update and extensions of services plans. The water and sewer main extension
plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works Department. Prior to
certificate of occupancy, a certification shall be submitted to the Public Works Department
stating that the water and sewer mains have been built and tested as designed and approved.
11. Phase 2 shall include an extension of a major collector street from the
roundabout/interchange to the northwestern corner of the property. The street shall be
designed and construction to meet the City of Kalispell's Standards for Design and
Construction.
12. Both the Highway 93 and the bypass frontages shall be upgraded to city standards to
include an eight -foot sidewalk to be installed on or near the right -of way line. Development
of the frontages shall follow the phasing line of the project. Approaches shall be concrete
between the curb and sidewalk.
13. The applicant shall coordinate future development with MDT to ensure the interchange
and connecting road are taken into account, as well as any other aspects of potential
highway improvements.
14. If any fencing is to be constructed as part of the development, it shall comply with height and
location zoning standards and should be a consistent design throughout the development. Any
fencing will be required to be reviewed and approved by the city Architectural Review
Committee, which shall ensure a consistency of colors and materials to be used to present an
aesthetically pleasing design.
15. All billboards existing on the property shall be removed prior to issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for the second phase of building construction (part of phase 1 of the overall
site), which involves the demolition of a portion of the building and is anticipated in the
summer of 2023. In no case shall they be removed later than July 1, 2025. Under the
zoning ordinance, the billboards count as sign area towards the maximum allowable sign
area and signage may be restricted in that manner on the property until the billboards are
removed.
16. Prior to or in conjunction with any building permit issued for the property, the
parking/vehicle display area to the west of the building shall be developed to city standards,
including, but not necessarily limited to, paving, storm drainage, and landscaping. Any
display shall be limited to the developed area shown as part of the first phase until such
time as the remainder of the property is appropriately developed.
17. A landscape buffer shall be installed along the Highway 93 frontage that meets the entrance
corridor standards set forth in Section 27.20.29 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The
buffer in this area would be a minimum of 20 feet wide and would be located outside the
right-of-way on the subject property.
18. Additional landscape screening/buffering shall be installed along the bypass frontage.
Specific landscape plans will be reviewed as part of the building permit and site review
process, which would include review by the Architectural Design Review Committee.
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. This Ordinance shall take effect from and after 30 days of its passage by
the City Council.
