REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: PJ Sorensen, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: KA-24-05 — Gardner's Acres Annexation and Initial Zoning
MEETING DATE: July 1, 2024
BACKGROUND: Joe Gardner has submitted an application for annexation and initial zoning of R-
2 (Residential) for properties located at 1628 and 1636 South Woodland Drive. There is an existing
house at 1636 South Woodland which is already within the city limits. The annexation would bring
the remaining properties into the city limits and create a buildable site on a separate lot for a second
single-family dwelling, including access to city water and sewer service. The legal description for
the property is attached as Exhibit A.
The Kalispell Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on June 18, 2024, to consider
the request. Staff presented staff report KA-24-05 providing details of the proposal and evaluation.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the staff report as findings of fact and
recommend to the Council that the request for annexation and initial zoning be granted.
One comment was received at the public hearing in addition to the applicant. The comment was
concerned about being included in the annexation and impacts to their property. The public hearing
was closed and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KA-24-05 as findings of fact and
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the annexation be approved with an initial zoning
designation of R-2 (Residential). Commission discussion concluded that the request was appropriate,
and the motion was approved on a unanimous vote.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ANNEXATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve Resolution 6208, a
Resolution to provide for the alteration of boundaries of the City of Kalispell by including therein as
an annexation property which can be described as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated by reference.
INITIAL ZONING: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the first reading of
Ordinance 1923, an Ordinance to amend section 27.02.010, official zoning map, City of Kalispell
zoning ordinance 1677, by zoning certain real property which can be described as shown on Exhibit
A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, as City R-2 (Residential) in accordance with the
Kalispell Growth Policy Plan — It 2035, and to provide an effective date.
FISCAL EFFECTS: There are no anticipated fiscal impacts at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

GARDNER'S ACRES ANNEXATION
ANNEXATION AND INITIAL ZONING OF R-2 UPON ANNEXATION
STAFF REPORT #KA-24-05
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
JUNE 18, 2024
This report to the Kalispell City Planning Commission and the Kalispell City Council is regarding
a request from Joe Gardner for annexation and initial zoning of R-2 (Residential) for property at
1628 and 1636 South Woodland Drive containing approximately 1.9 acres. 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
Joe Gardner has submitted an application for annexation and initial zoning of R-2 (Residential) for
properties located at 1628 and 1636 South Woodland Drive. There is an existing house at 1636
South Woodland which is already within the city limits. The annexation would bring the remaining
properties into the city limits and create a buildable site on a separate lot for a second single-family
dwelling, including access to city water and sewer service.
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: Joe Gardner
4051/z loth Avenue West
Kalispell, MT 59901
B. Location and Legal Description of Properties: The property can generally be described as
portions of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Block 3 of Greenacres Northwest Subdivision, and portions
of Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Block 4 of Greenacres Northwest Subdivision, and a portion of the
abandoned road adjacent to those lots. A full legal description is attached as Exhibit A. It is
intended that, after annexation, an amended plat will be recorded to aggregate the existing
lots into two lots (2A and 3A), one with the existing home and one to create the new building
site (the potential footprint of the home is shown on the plat, with a shared driveway and
utilities to be provided with easements). Development details, including fire access, are being
coordinated as part of the building permit.

C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The existing property as a whole is currently being used
for one single-family residence. The portion of the property with the residence is located in
the city and zoned city R-2 (Residential). The remainder of the property, much of which is
in the slough, is currently zoned county R-2 (One Family Limited Residential). The Flathead
County Zoning Regulations state that the intent of the district 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 R-2 (Residential). The Kalispell Zoning
Regulations state that the intent of the district is "a district intended 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
W
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 1.9 acres.
F. Adjacent Zoning:
North: City R-2/County R-2
East: City R-2/R-3
West: County R-4
South: City R-4/County R-2
G. Adjacent Land Uses:
North: Single-family residential
East: Single-family residential
West: Single-family residential
South: Single-family residential
H. General Land Use Character: The
general land use of the area is single-
family residential, with a mix of both
city and county lots.
L Utilities and Public Services: Water and sewer service are available within adjacent rights -
of -way and currently serve the single-family home on the property, with new services
required for the proposed new residence. 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.

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. 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 1.2 miles from fire station 61
M
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.
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 R-2 (One Family Limited Residential). The applicants are requesting city R-
2 (Residential).

1. Does the requested zone comply with
the _growth polices
The Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land
Use Map designates the subject property as
Urban Residential, which generally supports
R-3, R-4, and RA-1 residential zones. The
requested R-2 zone is less dense than those
zones and would be in -line with the density
limits contemplated for Urban Residential
property. That particular zone was requested
because (1) the front of the property with the
exiting home is already annexed and zoned R-
2; (2) the existing county zoning on the
remainder of the property substantially
matches the city R-2; (3) the majority of the
city zoned property in the area includes a mix
of R-2, R-3, and R-4 zoning; and (4) the
nature of the lot as an in -fill lot with limited
access with a significant portion as
unbuildable does not lend itself to higher
density development which would need
5
smaller lot sizes. Given the specific situation of this lot, the requested zone would
substantially comply with the growth policy.
2. Will the requested zone have an effect on motorized and non -motorized transportation
systems?
The access for the properties is onto South Woodland Drive. 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 part of any redevelopment of the property, although
due to its size, any development under the proposed zone would have a minimal impact and
it is expected that no more than one single-family residence could likely be developed.
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 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?
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
suitabili . for particular uses?
M
The proposed R-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.
9. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
The 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 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 substantially consistent with the growth
policy and is compatible with current zoning in the immediate area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Commission adopt Staff Report #KA-24-05 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).

Planning Commission,
This email is in regards to the proposed agenda item 93 listed on a letter sent by you to our
residence. We are Marshall and Susan Payne, owners of the private property Block 3 Lots 1-5
at 1604 S. Woodland Dr. as noted on the proposal.
Please find enclosed, photos of the existing lane, noted as the "abandoned roadway", in your
letter between 1604 South Woodland Dr. and 1636 South Woodland Dr. As of the writing of
this letter, there is no current 1628 South Woodland, as mentioned in your letter. The photos
show a vehicle to provide you scale of the size of this lane and the existing easements that
provide access to 1636 S. Woodland on the left, and our private property at 1604 S. Woodland
on the right. The existing lane is not only narrow, but is not made of sufficient road base to
support the typical weight restrictions of a roadway.
Annexation of our property would result in doubling our taxes, which is a great financial
hardship on our fixed income. As you are aware, we would also incur a large financial burden
to tie into the sewer system.
The annexation request on Block 4, Lots 1-3 for a building project, does not necessitate
annexation of our private property on Block 3, Lots 1-5. We request that you dismiss our
property from this proposal for annexation.
Marshall and Susan Payne
