A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Commission for June 18, 2024, beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The Planning Commission will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Flathead Community Health Center, Inc, d/b/a Greater Valley Health Center, has submitted a petition for annexation and initial zoning of B-2 (General Business) for property located at 1935 3rd Avenue East. The existing building and a portion of the parking lot is currently within the city limits, and this petition would annex the remaining portion of the parking lot. The annexation includes all of one parcel and the rear portion of a separate vacant parcel that fronts on 51h Avenue East. It is intended that both parcels would then be aggregated into the larger lot that is already within the city. 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. Petitioners / Owners: Greater Valley Health Center 1035 lst Avenue West Kalispell, MT 59901 B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property is more particularly described as a Tract of Land Situated, Lying and Being in the Northwest Quarter of Section 20, Township 28, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana and More Particularly Described as Follows to Wit: Tract 1 of Certificate of Survey No. 9733 (Records of Flathead County) and Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 9733 (records of Flathead County lying west of the Kalispell City Limits Boundary). C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property as a whole is being used as an office building, with the property being annexed being used as a portion of the parking lot. The property is currently zoned county B-2 (General Business). The Flathead County Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the district is "A business district to provide for those retail sales and service functions and operations that are typically characterized by outdoor display, storage, and/or sale of merchandise, by major repair of motor vehicles, and by outdoor commercial amusement and recreational activities. This district should also serve the general needs of the tourist and traveler." D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning is city B-2 (General Business). The Kalispell Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the district is "a district which provides for a variety of sales and service establishments to serve both the residents of the area and the traveling public. This district depends on the proximity to major streets and arterials and should be located in business corridors or in islands. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designated as commercial and urban mixed use on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map." E. Size: The subject property is approximately 0.3 acres. F. Adjacent Zoning: North: City B-2 East: City RA-1 West: City B-2 South: City B-2/County B-2 G. Adjacent Land Uses: North: Commercial East: Single-family residential West: Commercial South: Commercial/office 2 H. General Land Use Character: The general land use of the area is general commercial to the north, south and west of the property, with a single-family neighborhood to the east. I. Utilities and Public Services: Water and sewer service are available within adjacent rights - of -way and currently serve the building on the property. Any extensions necessary to provide service to development of the property will 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. k 12 Sewer: City of Kalispell available upon annexation Water: City of Kalispell available upon annexation Refuse: City of Kalispell available upon annexation Electricity: Flathead Electric Cooperative Natural Gas: Northwestern Energy Telephone: Lumen Schools: School District 5 — Elrod Elementary/Flathead High School Fire: South Kalispell Rural Fire/City of Kalispell upon annexation Police: Flathead County Sheriff/City of Kalispell upon annexation 3 I. 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 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. Both sanitary sewer and water service are available within the right-of-way adjacent to the property, although the main building on the overall property already is served by city water and sewer and is currently within the city limits. Any extensions necessary to provide service will 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. The site is currently protected by the South Kalispell Rural Fire District and the Flathead County Sheriff's office. The applicants have 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 1.1 miles from fire station 61 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 development. In addition, there would be one-time impact fees upon connection to city services. 4 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 B-2 (General Business). The applicants are requesting city B-2 (General Business) . Kalispell Growth Policy KALISPELL Greater valley Health Center sue; ZMH e,n�algh Density Residential icy es a hal !W , 0 25 50 1 W 150 F�a —:,y Feet cay d Kakspe l GEs, 6asemap: Esri Community Maps, ArcGIS.com I. Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy? The Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as primarily commercial with a portion as high density residential. The zoning ordinance contemplates B-2 as an appropriate zone within the commercial land use designation. The B-2 zone is very similar to both the current county zoning and city zoning in the surrounding area. Under Section 27.20.070 of the zoning ordinance, lots should not be split into two or more zones if possible (it is intended that these parcels will be aggregated into the larger property) . 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 of the existing use of the property, which is parking for the existing office building, and the existing county zoning that is in place. Under both city and county zoning, B-2 zoning matches the existing condition more closely than a residential district. Taking into account the growth policy, the growth policy map, existing county zoning and the existing use, the requested zone of B-2 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 properties is onto 3' Avenue East just to the north of its intersection with Highway 93 South. Annexation and zoning of the existing use would not change the impact on the transportation systems. The impact on the transportation systems will be reviewed as 5 part of any redevelopment of the property, although due to its size, any redevelopment under the proposed zone would have a minimal impact. 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers? Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in 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, water and sewer service will be available upon annexation. Once annexed, any future redevelopment of the property would be subject to city review. 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 B-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? All public services and facilities are available to the property. The redevelopment of the property in the city with a city zoning designation would allow access to those services, although many city services are already being used. 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 both the city and the county 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 suitability for particular uses? The proposed B-2 zoning district is consistent with the surrounding 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. 0 9. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? The value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the B-2 zoning district will promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other properties in the area. Any potential future redevelopment of 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. In this case, water and sanitary sewer are located within the public right-of-way adjacent to the property. The proposed zoning is consistent with the growth policy and is compatible with current zoning in the immediate area.
