without a full engineered design due to many variables. They do have
some good templates that guide developers but there are plans to do some
updates.

BOARD DISCUSSION
Young asked staff if Phase 3 could be platted before Phase 1. Sorensen
and Nygren advised that it could be but the improvements would be done
based on the associated PUD. Graham asked staff if there is something to
trigger improvements. Sorensen advised that MDT bases warranted
improvements on actual traffic volumes and the uniform traffic manual.
MDT requires studies done before and would likely require the developer
to put some funds into escrow or bond for it to cover the cost of the
required improvements. Once warrants are in, they would install them.
Graham confirmed with staff that part of the Phase 2 & 3 improvements
would be going in as part of the PUD. Graham also stated that this project
was previously approved and is not a new project. Sorensen added that all
5 traffic mitigation conditions were part of the 2022 PUD approval; there
is no additional density and there is the same number of lots.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mike Brodie, representing the developer, advised the Board that they
conducted a warrant study for Phase 1 and a traffic signal is not currently
warranted, but after they conducted a sensitivity analysis, a signal would
be warranted after Phase 2. They are working with MDT on roundabout.

ANNEXATION AND INITIAL ZONING OF R-2 UPON ANNEXATION
STAFF REPORT #KA-23-01
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
FEBRUARY 8, 2023
This report regards a request from the City of Kalispell for annexation and initial zoning of R-2
(Residential) for property located at 850 Four Mile Drive, containing approximately 1.52 acres. A
public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Board for February 14, 2023, 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
A request from the City of Kalispell for annexation and initial zoning of R-2 (Residential) of city -
owned property located at 850 Four Mile Drive. The property is intended to be used as a well site
which would be part of the city water system infrastructure.
This report evaluates the application in accordance with state and local regulations. The annexation
request and initial city zoning classification will be reviewed in accordance with Section
27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. This property will be annexed under the
provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2-4610, M.C.A., Annexation by Petition. The statutory
basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by Section 27.29.020 of the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance and 76-2-303 M.C.A. Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed
relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A.
A. Petitioner / Owner: City of Kalispell
201 First Avenue East
Kalispell, MT 59901
B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property can be described as a tract of
land located in the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 2, Township 28
North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, and further described as Tract 1
of Certificate of Survey No. 12112, containing 1.52 acres, more or less, as filed in the office
of the Clerk and Recorder of Flathead County, Montana, on February 24th, 1995, as
Document No. 9505515180.
C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is vacant. The property is zoned
county SAG-5 (Suburban Agricultural), which according to the Flathead County Zoning
Ordinance is "a district to provide and preserve smaller agricultural functions and to provide
a buffer between urban and unlimited agricultural uses, encouraging separation of such uses
in areas where potential conflict of uses will be minimized, and to provide areas of estate -
type residential development.
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning is city R-2 (Residential). The Kalispell Zoning
Regulations state that the intent of the district is "to provide adequate lot areas for lower
density residential development; should have good thoroughfare access, and be in proximity
to community and neighborhood facilities, i.e., schools, parks, shopping areas, etc. This
development will normally require all public utilities. This zoning district would typically be
found in areas designated as suburban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land
Use Map."

E. Size: The subject property is
approximately 1.52 acres.
F. Adjacent Zoning:
North: City R-3/PUD
East: City R-2
West: County SAG-5
South: County SAG-5
G. Adjacent Land Uses:
North: Undeveloped urban residential
East: Single-family/multi-family
West: Vacant
South: Vacant
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use of the area is mixed with larger existing
single-family residential homes in the area along with significant vacant land in the immediate
vicinity. The area to the north is developing with higher density urban residential projects,
including both single-family and multi -family developments, such as Stillwater Crossing at the
corner of Four Mile and Stillwater, the Starling subdivision, and other potential developments.
The recent and future growth has been supported by new water and sewer infrastructure, as
well as an access to the Highway 93 bypass.
I. Utilities and Public Services: The site is intended to be used as a well site connected to the
city water system and be part of the overall city utility infrastructure. If services were to be
required, water and sewer service are available within the right-of-way adjacent to the
property. If any extensions were necessary to provide service, they would need to be
designed and installed by the property owner subject to review and approval by the Kalispell
Public Works Department under the City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction.

L ANNEXATION EVALUATION
A. Compliance with the growth policy: Two primary means for managing growth in the
City of Kalispell are redevelopment/infill within the current city limits or annexation of
outlying areas. A goal of the growth policy is to provide a comprehensive, effective growth
management plan that provides for all the needs of the community, is adaptable to changing
trends and is attuned to the overall public welfare. Chapter 9, Public Infrastructure and
Services, includes a goal to "make public water and sewer available to areas that are in
close proximity to services," and annexation allows for such extensions to happen,
particularly in this instance where the purpose is to further develop the City's water
infrastructure.
In addition, the city council adopted an annexation policy in 2011, with a corresponding
map, as an addendum to the city's growth policy document. The purpose of the annexation
policy is to give the Planning Board, the Council, and the development community
direction when property owners outside of the city limits are requesting annexation. The
property proposed for annexation falls inside the city's direct annexation boundary and is
immediately adjacent to the current city limits.
B. Municipal Services: The City of Kalispell has an extension of services plan that details
how services would be extended to the annexed property. As mentioned above, the purpose
of this annexation is to develop a city well site that will be part of the overall water
infrastructure for the city. However, it should be noted that both sanitary sewer and water
service are available within the right-of-way adjacent to the property. Any additional
extensions necessary to provide service would be designed and installed by the property
owner subject to review and approval by the Kalispell Public Works Department under the
City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction.
The site is currently protected by the West Valley Rural Fire District and the Flathead
County Sheriff's office. The applicant has submitted a Notice of Withdrawal from the
Rural Fire District. At the time of annexation, the property will be served by the Kalispell
Police and Fire Departments. The site lies approximately 1.3 miles from fire station 62
and is readily serviceable by the city fire, police, and ambulance services.
Given the level of existing services available to the property, annexation will not
overburden the municipal services in place.
C. Distance from current city limits: The subject property is immediately adjacent to the
existing city limits line.
D. Cost of services: The typical cost of service analysis is not applicable in this situation.
The property is not being developed outside of the well site and would not require services
as in situations where there is a use of the property, such as a residence or office, that would
need a service connection. Without services, the cost of annexation is minimal.
Furthermore, as exempt property, there is not a tax component generating revenue.
Essentially, it is cost neutral. It is, however, a necessary part of city infrastructure
supporting additional development in the area.
IL INITIAL ZONING AND ZONE CHANGE EVALUATION BASED ON
STATUTORY CRITERIA
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-303, M.C.A. Findings
of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by
76-2-304, M.C.A. and Section 27.29.020, Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently
zoned county SAG-5 (Suburban Agricultural). The applicants are requesting city R-2
(Residential).

1. Does the requested zone comply with
the growth polio
The Kalispell Growth Policy Future
Land Use Map designates the subject
property as Suburban Residential. The
zoning ordinance contemplates R-2 as
an appropriate zone within that land use
designation. The requested zone
complies with the growth policy.
2. Will the requested zone have an effect
on motorized and non -motorized
transportation systems?
The access for the property is onto
Four Mile Drive. Since the existing
property would not be creating traffic as
a well site, annexation and zoning of the
additional area would not change the
impact on the transportation systems.
Any other development of the property
would be reviewed and approved
according to city design criteria that
would account for access to the site.
3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers?
Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in the case of an emergency.
There are no features related to the property which would compromise the safety of the
public. All municipal services including police/fire protection will be available upon
annexation.
4. Will the requested zone promote the public health, safely and general welfare?
The general health, safety, and welfare of the public will be promoted through general
city regulations designed to regulate allowable uses. In this case, the requested zoning
classification of R-2 will promote the health and general welfare by restricting land uses to
those that would be compatible with the adjoining properties and those in the vicinity.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and lot coverage standards for any development occurring on this site are
established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to ensure adequate light and air is provided.
6. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage,
schools, parks, and other public requirements?
5
All public services and facilities are available to the property. As a well site, there would not
be a demand on city services and would serve to support city infrastructure in the area. Any
other development of the property would be reviewed and approved pursuant to city design
criteria.
7. Will the requested zone promote compatible urban growth?
The requested zoning is consistent with the type of growth projected for this area and is
consistent with the current zoning in the vicinity. The proposed district maintains and is
compatible with the established land use pattern in this area.
8. Does the requested zone give consideration to the character of the district and its particular
suitabili . for particular uses?
The proposed R-2 zoning district is consistent with the surrounding residential development
in the immediate and general area. The proposed zone fits into that overall pattern and gives
due consideration of the suitability of this property for the allowed uses in the zoning district,
such as proximity of city services.
9. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the R-2 zoning district will
promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other properties in the
area. Any potential future development on the property will be reviewed for compliance
with zoning dimensional standards and design review criteria to ensure its appropriateness
for the area and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
10. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land throughout the
municipality?
Urban scale development should be encouraged in areas where services and facilities are
available, and it serves to support appropriate use of land throughout the city by further
developing city infrastructure. The proposed zoning is consistent with the growth policy and
is compatible with current zoning in the immediate area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt Staff
Report #KA-23-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the property
be annexed and the zoning for the property be city R-2 (Residential).
