The regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Commission is scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, 2024,
beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers, Kalispell City Hall, 201 First Avenue East, Kalispell. The agenda for the meeting will be:
A. Call to Order and Roll Call
B. Approval of Minutes of October 8, 2024 C. Hear the Public – The public may comment on any matter on the agenda or not on the agenda. (Comments
are typically held to 3 minutes or less.)
D. Old Business E. New Business
F. Adjournment The planning commission will hold a work session on the item listed below:
Montana Land Use Planning Act - In the last legislative session, the Montana Legislature passed Senate
Bill 382, which created the new Montana Land Use Planning Act. Under the Act, for cities such as Kalispell, the current growth policy, subdivision regulations, and zoning regulations are largely replaced with a new land use planning paradigm. The concept is that a land use plan is established with extensive public input. The plan then becomes a guiding document for land use decisions, many of which, such as
subdivisions, become administrative rather than conducted through a public hearing process. The
opportunity for the public to be engaged comes with the process establishing the plan and regulations, not with review of a site-specific project. This work session is the first in a series the Planning Commission will hold in the coming months. It is
intended that the focus of this work session will be on the overall process, general parameters of the plan,
and preliminary discussions relating to required components of the plan. Future work sessions will be noticed and a formal hearing will be held before the Commission forwards a recommendation to the City Council for its action.
