processes, and annexation zoning. Graham stated that this is not a land grab but a
private owner applying to the city for annexation and that any future development
would have to go through the application process. Nygren advised that notifications
are sent to adjacent landowners within 240 feet which is above the state requirement
of 150 feet. Sorensen stated that it is initial zoning with an annexation zone change;
not a city zone change per se. Young confirmed with staff that the city cannot take

that single family residences are allowable in RA-1 and that the fire and police
departments are already responding first to emergencies at Mountain Villa. Haskins

MOUNTAIN VILLA ANNEXATION
ANNEXATION AND INITIAL ZONING OF RA -I UPON ANNEXATION
STAFF REPORT #KA-23-04
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
MAY 9, 2023
This report regards a request from the City of Kalispell for annexation and initial zoning of RA-1
(Residential Apartment) for property located at 249 Reserve Place, containing approximately
22.11 acres. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Board for May 9, 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
Summit Holdings, LP, has submitted an application for annexation and initial zoning of RA-1
(Residential Apartment) for property located at 249 Reserve Place. The property is currently
occupied by Mountain Villa Apartments and the annexation would allow for connection of the
existing 142 apartment units to city services. It would also allow for the potential future expansion
of the apartment complex.
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: Summit Holdings, LP
330 E Lakeside Ave, Ste 201
Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814
B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property is located at 249 Reserve Place
and can be described as Assessors Tract IHC in the East Half of the Southeast Quarter of
Section 25, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, Flathead County, Montana.
C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The southern portion of the subject property contains an
existing multi -family residential development, while the northern portion is currently vacant.
The property is zoned county RA-1 (Residential Apartment) and R-2 (One Family Limited
Residential). According to the Flathead County Zoning Ordinance, the RA-1 is "a district to
provide areas for multi -family use and for non-residential uses, which support or are
compatible with the primarily residential character. This district is intended as a buffer
between residential districts and other non-residential districts. This district shall be served
by community water and sewer and have immediate access to fire, police, refuse, and park
facilities." The R-2 is "a district to provide for large -tract residential development. These
areas will typically be found in suburban areas, generally served by either sewer or water
lines."
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning is city RA -I (Residential Apartment). The Kalispell
Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the district is "a residential district intended to
provide for urban areas for multi -family use and compatible non-residential uses of medium
land use intensity. It should be served with all public utilities and be in close proximity to
municipal services, parks, or shopping districts. This zoning district would typically be
found in areas designated as urban residential or high density residential on the Kalispell
Growth Policy Future Land Use Map."
E. Size: The subject property is
approximately 22.11 acres.
F. Adjacent Zoning:
North: County R-2
East: City B-2
West: County R-2
South: City R-5/PUD;
B-5/PUD; & B-2/PUD
G. Adjacent Land Uses:
North: Residential; River;
Retail; Cemetery
East: Hwy 93; Auto Sales;
Residential
West: Residential
South: Hwy 93 Bypass;
Commercial; Office
4
H. General Land Use Character: The general land use of the area is mixed with larger existing
single-family residential homes in the area to the north and to the west, and with significant
commercial development to the east and to the south. The subject property is located at the
northwest corner of the intersection of Highway 93 and the Highway 93 Bypass and is a
transitional use between the more intensive commercial areas and the residential areas. The
recent and future growth in the area has been supported by new water and sewer infrastructure,
as well as the Highway 93 bypass.
L Utilities and Public Services: There are city water and sewer mains in the vicinity of the
property. If any extensions or other improvements are 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.
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 allow for the connection of the existing apartment complex to
services as well as support potential future expansions of the complex. Both sanitary sewer
and water service are in close proximity and available to the property. Any additional
extensions or improvements 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 0.5 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 property is located within the annexation boundary, which was
established based in part on the ability to efficiently serve the property. Once annexed to
the city, full city services will be made available to the property owner. Any necessary
infrastructure associated with this development will be required to be constructed in
accordance with the City of Kalispell's Design and Construction Standards and any other
development policies, regulations or ordinances that may apply. It is anticipated that
revenue would exceed the cost of providing services to the existing apartments. In
addition, there would be one-time impact fees for connecting to city services.
E
II. 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 RA-1 (Residential Apartment) and R-2 (One -Family Limited Residential). The
applicants are requesting city RA-1 (Residential Apartment).

As with county zoning, city zoning of RA-1
R-1 through R-5 would not.
1. Does the requested zone comply with
the growth polio
The Kalispell Growth Policy Future
Land Use Map designates the subject
property as High Density Residential
and Suburban Residential. The zoning
ordinance contemplates RA-1 as an
appropriate zone within the high -density
designation.
Under Section 27.20.070 of the zoning
ordinance, lots should not be split into
two or more zones if possible. It is
important to note that the growth policy
is not, in itself, a regulation. Rather, it
is a policy document that guides
regulation. As such, the mapped
designations should not be viewed as
fixed lines on a map and the appropriate
zoning district for the property as a
whole should be based on growth policy
map designations as well as the nature
existing county zoning that is in place.
would match the existing use, while zoning of
Under the growth policy (Chapter 4A), we should provide an adequate supply and mix of
housing, particularly on larger tracts of land. Additionally, the RA-1 zone would provide
a transition area from the commercial zoning to the east and south and the residential area
to the west and north. Taking into account the growth policy, the growth policy map,
existing county zoning and the existing use, the requested zone of RA-1 would comply
with the growth policy and applying that district to the entire property would be consistent
with the zoning ordinance.
2. Will the requested zone have an effect on motorized and non -motorized transportation
systems?
The access for the property is onto Reserve Place. Since the existing property is developed
with an apartment complex, annexation and city zoning would not have any effect on the
transportation systems. Any additional development of the property would be reviewed and
approved according to city design criteria that would account for access to the site. The
Montana Department of Transportation ("MDT") commented that any new access or change
in use of an existing access to a Montana Highway will require an approach permit to be
approved by MDT. Access to the highway system should be kept to a minimum to help
facilitate safe traffic flow along US 93 by reducing conflict points. As property continues to
develop, there should be planning to reduce the number of existing approaches by providing
for a roadway network west of US 93 to facilitate traffic movements.
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, safety 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 RA-1 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?
All public services and facilities are available to the property. Connection to city water and
sewer services would be performed according to city design criteria, and any other
development of the property would also 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 while providing a transition
between commercial and residential areas in the vicinity.
8. Does the requested zone give consideration to the character of the district and its particular
suitabili . for particular uses?
no
The proposed RA-1 zoning district is consistent with the surrounding residential
development in the immediate and general area, and provides a transition between adjacent
commercial and residential areas. 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?
The value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the RA-1 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-23-04 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the property
be annexed and the zoning for the property be city RA-1 (Residential Apartment).

Attn: PJ Sorensen, Esq., Senior Planner
RE: Mountain Villa Apartments — PETITION for ANNEXATION and INITIAL ZONING
Mr. Sorenson,
We are pleased to submit the attached petition for annexation and initial zoning for the Mountain Villa Apartments
property. As we have previously discussed, the primary reason for this annexation is for the connection to
Kalispel water and sewer infrastructure to serve the existing 142 apartment units on site, and to provide for future
expansion on the now undeveloped north half of the property at approximately the same density, and the same
land use. Thus, we are proposing an initial zoning of RA-1, the Residential Apartments district, which fits the
existing land use, and would allow for additional units.
We appreciate the City of Kalispell working with us on this application and look forward to working together on
future aspects of this project. The remainder of this letter is a narrative that addresses specific information in
page 2 of the application.
How will the proposed zoning district accomplish the intend and purpose of:
a. Promoting the Growth Policy
The proposed annexation and subsequent zoning would provide additional residential units to the
City of Kalispell, provide a growth in tax base, and allow the conversion of an aging septic system
to city utilities. Currently the parcel is bordered by Alternate Highway 93 and US Highway 93 North.
To the east and south the subject parcel is adjacent to the City of Kalispell boundary. The zoning
districts for the adjacent city parcels are B-2 and B-5/PUD. To the north and west of the property is
Flathead County Jurisdiction, zoned R-2, One Family Limited Residential The proposed district
would be consistent with the surrounding City zoning designation.
The design team is proposing RA-1 to allow for additional residential units and serve as a transition
between the commercial and residential uses in the area. The property is surrounded by different
use, to the south and east are commercial properties, to the north and west are residential
properties. The RA-1 Zone makes sense as a transition zone between the commercial and
residential properties.
This matches what was projected for this area in the adopted City of Kalispell Growth Policy.
b. Lessening congestion in the streets and providing safe access
The subject property is located at the intersection of US Highway 93 N. and US Highway 93
Alternative. It is not anticipated that annexation of the property will negatively impact the overall

transportation system. A full traffic study is currently being reviewed by the Montana Department of
Transportation to confirm that there will be minimal impacts.
Promoting the public interest, health, comfort, convenience, safety, and general welfare.
Annexation will allow the development to connect to city utilities. The development is currently
served by an aging septic system. To ensure that the system does not fail, creating health and
safety concerns, the owners desire to tie to city services. This will ensure that the property
continues to provide sewer services that are safe for residents and neighbors.
d. Preventing the overcrowding of land
The proposed RA-1 zoning designation allows medium density development, and is consistent with
its current land use. This property is adjacent to the intersection of Alternate Highway 93 and US
Highway 93 North making it ideal for the proposed density. This development is designed to reduce
overcrowding land by adhering to all setbacks and lot coverage requirements of the City of
Kalispell's Zoning Regulations.
e. Avoiding undue concentration of population
The proposed use of the property matches the use and density prescribed in the City of Kalispell
Growth Policy for medium density residential. There is high demand for affordable housing in this
particular location, due to its proximity to retail, commercial, and educational facilities to the south.
f. Facilitating the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks, and other
public facilities
The primary purpose of the annexation is to connect the property to the municipal sewer utilities. All
other utilities are present on the site as it is currently serving as a residential development. There is
proper access as referenced previously the parcel is at the intersection of Alternative Highway 93
and US Highway 93 North. No change to transportation facilities is proposed, or needed, at this
point in time.
g. Giving reasonable consideration to the character of the district
The existing apartment buildings on the property helped establish the character of the district. Since
then Kalispell has grown to the property, and any future plans for the property should take the
changing character of the area into account. The proposed RA-1 zoning is consistent with the
existing land use and is a step to maintain the existing character of the property.
h. Giving consideration to the peculiar suitability of the property for particular uses
The property is suited for this type of development due to the proximity to US Highway 93 and the
commercial properties to the south and east that would benefit from close workforce housing.

Re: Annexation of Mountain Villa Apartments
April 7, 2023
Page 3 of 3
i. Encouraging the most appropriate use of land by assuring orderly growth
While growth is not the primary reason for the proposed annexation, the property will be likely to
add new apartment units on the north half of the site in the future. This growth will, by nature, be
orderly because it is entirely infill rather than expansion. Ultimate surrounding land use is well
known and the need for multifamily housing is likely to only increase over time.

Date: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 12:44:06 PM
Good Afternoon,
I would like to comment regarding the proposed zoning change for Summit Holdings on the
agenda for today.
I have no issue with the annexation, but would recommend the city consider modifying the R-
2 portion of the parcel to an R-3 or R-4 zoning (in lieu of RA-1) to act as a more appropriate
buffer/transition to the park and single-family development to the north and west.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Mountain Villas Zoning Request Comments
Greetings all:
I have been a homeowner in Country Estates —193 Arbour Drive East, Lot 95 — since 2005.
When I bought the property, I was aware that the strip immediately to the East was County -
owned, as a set -aside for a Park. I became aware that the Apartments were only a portion of
the parcel to the East of that County strip. And I was relieved to find that the north end of the
parcel, which borders the County strip and the river, was zoned R2, One Family Residential,
which was a good fit with the existing development in Country Estates and Stillwater Loop.
I understand from your Staff Report #KA-23-04 that the owners of the property have requested
to be annexed into the City of Kalispell. I think that is a reasonable request. And having the
Apartments connected to city sewer and services is a good idea.
However, I also note that the request includes a
proposal that the Zoning be changed to RA1,
Residential Apartment for that portion that is currently
zoned R2. This is a significant change, and
unwarranted.
There is room for further multifamily development on
the current property in the area Zoned as RA1, and still
leave the current R2 Zoning intact. Please see my
approximation on the map at the end of this letter.
Converting the current R2 zoning to RA1 will create an
intrusion into the R2 Zoning that is unwarranted — it
will be surrounded by R2 as shown in the map to the
right:
1 agree that it is best if parcels could be wholly within s ° "$Z° °W 690
=,. '-_ _'_ 6asema0.
one Zone or another. But when the previous zoning, in '�"� �"�' A`
place for many years, is replaced with something that doesn't make sense, then allowances
should be made.
This parcel should remain split between RA1 and R2 as it is currently zoned.
If the zoning is converted to RA1, despite my concerns, I ask that the access to the northern
property not include connection to Stillwater Loop or Arbour Drive East. These roads are
narrow, the asphalt is deteriorating, and often times have vehicles parked along them
constraining road width. With the number of children in the neighborhood, that becomes a
significant risk.
I am not able to be at the meeting either in person or via Zoom. I ask that my comments be
recorded as part of the record, and my strenuous objection to the RA1 Zoning change be noted.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
