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 attaching the
zoning classification of B-2 to the above -described tract of land with a
Commercial Planned Unit Development overlay to be known as the Farm
District PUD.
SECTION 2. The Commercial Planned Unit Development overlay proposed by the
Bingham's upon the real property described above is hereby approved
subject to the following conditions:
1. 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 future preliminary plat as approved by the city council.
2. The Planned Unit Development for the Farm District allows the following deviations from
the Zoning Regulations:
(1) Sections 27.13.020 and 27.13.030 - Allowed Uses: Phase 1 is limited to a
Youth Center, parks and recreational uses outdoors. Phase 2 is limited to a 100 room
Hotel, a Restaurant/Brew Pub, a small grocery store or convenience store (less than
10,000 square feet), and a small neighborhood gas station with no more than six gas
pumps. Phases 3 and 4 will be limited to up to 70 townhome cottage home, and/or
multi -family units. Phases 5 and 6 will include both commercial and residential uses.
Commercial uses are limited to office - professional/medical, small bakery or coffee
shop (Less than 2500 square feet), laboratories, tech research, photograph studios, print
and copy shops, and recreation indoors. In Phases 5 and 6 there could be up to 32 multi-
family residential units and all residential units will be on the second floor. None of the
other permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the B-2 will be allowed without an
amendment to the PUD.
(2) Section 27.13.040(1) - Lot Area: Minimum lot size in the B-2 zone is 7000
square feet. Lot sizes for the townhome sublots and cottage lots may be reduced to
2500 square feet.
(3) Section 27.13.040(2) - Lot Width: The minimum lot width in the B-2 is 70
feet. Under the proposal, lot widths would vary within the project with detached single-
family lots at 35 feet and sublot widths as narrow as 25 feet. Lots which are on a street
with dimensions of less than 50 feet in width for detached single-family or an average
of 40 feet per unit for townhomes require alleys under the subdivision regulations. The
requested deviation is appropriate provided that any lots or sublots with widths less
than the dimensions specified in the subdivision regulations be accessed with an alley.
3. The Planned Unit Development for the Farm District allows the following deviations from
the Subdivision Regulations:
(1) Roadway deviations: For the roads within the commercial sections of the
PUD, the applicant is proposing a road with two 14-foot driving isles and no on -street
parking. The deviation is appropriate, but only conditional on (a) approval by Public
Works during engineering design review; and (b) if adequate overflow parking is
provided, to be determined by the Site Development Review Committee.
(2) Section 28.3.12 — Blocks: The subdivision regulations require block lengths
of at least 250 feet and not more than 600 feet. The application would include lots
exceeding 600 feet. This deviation is appropriate provided that the street layout
conforms with the updated plan.
(3) Section 28.2.09(D) — Building Permits Prior to Final Plat: The subdivision
regulations require that final plat be recorded prior to issuing a building permit. This
deviation would allow a building permit to be issued in Phase 1 prior to final plat
provided that the preliminary plat has been approved and all requirements for a building
permit have been met, including, but not limited to, architectural and site review.
4. 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.
5. Upon approval of the preliminary PUD by the City Council, the property owner shall
proceed with the preparation of the final PUD plan as provided in Section 27.19.020(7) of
the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
6. The abandonment or expiration of the PUD is governed by Section 27.19.020(10) of the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
7. Any storm water ponds shall be designed in a way that they become a visual interest to the
development. Chain link fencing surrounding the retention pond as the dominant fixture
shall not be allowed without mitigation. The developer shall work closely with the Parks
Department and Public Works to develop a design that is both visually appealing and meets
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.
8. Prior to issuance of the building permit or any development of the site, 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.
9. The developer shall submit to the Kalispell Public Works Department prior to construction
an erosion/sediment control plan for review and approval and a copy of all documents
submitted to Montana Department of Environmental Quality for the General Permit for
Storm Water Discharge Associated with Construction Activities.
10. 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.
11. New infrastructure required to serve the property shall be designed and constructed in
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.
12. 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.
13. The water and sewer mains shall be extended in the paved portion of the street to the far
property line per the Standards for Design and Construction. The capacity of the lift stations
will need to be analyzed as part of the engineering design for the sewer system and may be
required to be upgraded if determined to be inadequately sized to serve this development.
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. 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 100 feet wide and would be located outside the
right-of-way on the subject property.
16. Church Drive is designated as a minor arterial and shall be upgraded to that standard along
the property's frontage including, but not necessarily limited to curb/gutter, landscape
boulevard, sidewalk, and street lights. A ten -foot dedication of road right-of-way is
required to accommodate the road classification and improvements.
17. The eastern access onto Church Drive is subject to change based on the Traffic Impact
Study, Montana Department of Transportation review, and subdivision review.
18. The center access shall comply with the access control requirements and may need to be
modified in order to do so.
19. As shown on the updated street plan, the internal streets will include a minor collector
looping through the development and connecting to the property to the north as well as a
local east -west connector through the southern portion of the property. The design of the
streets serving the residential areas will be subject to review at the time of subdivision and
may be subject to the provision of alleys depending upon the final design. Subdivision
review and engineering design will look at the street designs in more detail.
20. The drop-off area by the youth center and other areas showing parking in or adjacent to the
street will need to be adjusted to meet the Standards for Design and Construction and other
city standards. The drop-off area cannot be within the public right-of-way.
21. The Traffic Impact Study ("TIS") shall be updated to reflect review comments from the
City and the third -party review. With the impact on the highway interchange, review and
approval of the TIS and mitigation measures will be required from the Montana
Department of Transportation as well. The updated TIS will be subject to review and
approval, and any recommended mitigation will need to be implemented by the developer.
22. Prior to commencing any development of the property, a full geotechnical report shall be
submitted, including, but not limited to, a fines migration analysis for pipe bedding and
trench backfill, to ensure that the site is suitable for infrastructure and building
construction, and to identify any recommendations related to the geotechnical findings.
Any recommendations shall be implemented.
23. The PUD includes a large central green space/park containing 2.75 acres, which will be
maintained as a private park. Park area and recreational amenities will be a required aspect
of the development and subject to approval as part of the subdivision review.
24. The development of the property shall include additional review for the subdivision, which
has not been submitted at the time of this report, as well as review of individual building
projects throughout the site. Additional conditions may be attached related to those
reviews.
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.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND SIGNED BY THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF KALISPELL, MONTANA, THIS 20TH DAY OF JUNE, 2022.
