Mountain Prime Steakhouse
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — STAFF REPORT #KCU-25-03
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
June 10, 2025
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Commission and the Kalispell City Council regarding a
request from Tuyen Tran for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an accessory casino use at 214
South Main Street, Kalispell, MT. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning
Commission for June 10, 2025, 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
The applicant, Mr. Tuyen Tran, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for an
accessory casino use in conjunction with a full -service restaurant and bar within the existing
structure. An accessory casino is a gaming area that is clearly incidental and subordinate to the
primary use —in this case, a restaurant and bar —and is designed to enhance the customer
experience without dominating the establishment's function or identity. The proposed Mountain
Prime Steakhouse will occupy approximately 11,068 square feet on the ground floor, including a
designated 959-square-foot area for gaming.
The property is located within the B-4 Central Business zoning district, which permits restaurant
and bar uses by right but requires Conditional Use approval for casino components to ensure
proper integration into the urban fabric and compatibility with surrounding uses. Under Section
27.34.040 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, casinos are subject to specific design and
operational standards to mitigate their impact and preserve neighborhood character. These
standards include:
1. Accessory Nature: The proposed casino is accessory to the primary restaurant and bar
use, as defined in Section 27.34.040 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. An accessory
casino is permitted to occupy up to 20% of the total commercial floor area, provided it is
subordinate and incidental to the principal use. In this case, the gaming component is
designed to complement the restaurant and enhance the customer experience without
altering the establishment's primary identity or purpose. It does not operate
independently and remains secondary in both design and function.
2. Separate Gaming Area: Gaming machines must be confined to a defined and segregated
area of the floor plan.
3. Signage Restrictions: On -premise signage and building design must not contain any of
the following:
o Words such as "gaming," "gambling," "cards," "dice," "chance," or similar terms.
o References to any associated activity or symbols typically linked with gambling.
o Graphics, figures, artwork, or words intended to advertise or call attention to the
casino's presence.
I
o Neon lighting or illumination specifically associated with casino use.
4. Compatibility: The casino must be compatible with the surrounding land uses in terms
of scale, hours of operation, and design. It must not adversely affect traffic, parking, or
neighborhood character.
5. Historic Considerations: In areas such as the Downtown Historic District, additional
scrutiny is applied to ensure signage, lighting, and design conform to the architectural
and cultural character of the district.
In compliance with these requirements, the proposed accessory casino will operate under all
applicable state gaming regulations and will be physically separated from the main dining and
bar areas. The applicant will comply with signage restrictions and maintain a low visual profile
for the gaming area to ensure it remains subordinate to the restaurant's primary function. No
exterior building expansions are proposed, and the project will be entirely contained within the
existing building envelope. Proposed hours of operation are 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM, seven days a
week. The request aligns with the Kalispell Growth Policy's goals of supporting adaptive reuse,
economic reinvestment, and vibrant mixed -use development in the downtown core. The
application includes complete floor plans and operational details to facilitate staff and Planning
Commission review under applicable CUP criteria.

full -service restaurant and bar supports the city's broader economic development goals and
encourages reinvestment in existing infrastructure. The project also advances policy goals
related to adaptive reuse, pedestrian -oriented development, and targeted infill, helping to
strengthen Kalispell's historic downtown.

EVALUATION OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST
The proposed accessory casino is subject to both the general conditional use standards outlined in
Section 27.34.010 and the specific standards for casinos under Section 27.34.040 of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. As a conditionally permitted accessory use, the proposed casino has been
designed to meet the ordinance's intent to ensure compatibility with surrounding development,
protect public welfare, and maintain the character of the district.
General Standards:
The accessory casino is subordinate to the principal use of the property as a restaurant and bar. At
only 959 square feet, the casino comprises approximately 8.7% of the total 11,068-square-foot floor
area, well within the range expected for accessory use. The casino is intended to enhance the
customer experience by offering limited gaming in conjunction with food and beverage service, not
to function as a standalone gaming establishment.
Specific Standards Compliance (Section 27.34.040 — Casinos):
• Floor Area: The accessory casino occupies 959 square feet of the total 11,068 square feet
of commercial floor area, equating to approximately 8.7% of the space. This figure is well
below the 20% maximum allowed under city zoning regulations for accessory casino uses.
By staying within this limit, the project ensures that the gaming area remains a minor
element of the overall business, consistent with zoning requirements and the intent of
downtown development standards.
• Physical Separation: The gaming area is fully enclosed with permanent walls that extend
from floor to ceiling and includes a standard door, providing complete physical separation
from the main restaurant and bar. This separation maintains the required distinction in use,
enhances sound and visual containment, and ensures the gaming component does not
dominate the primary business activity.
• Entrances: There will be a single shared public entrance for the entire establishment from
South Main Street. No separate exterior entrance to the casino area is proposed, which
reinforces the subordinate nature of the casino to the primary restaurant/bar use.
• Signage: All signage will comply with the design limitations established in Section
27.34.040, which prohibit any exterior references to gaming, gambling, or similar themes.
No neon lighting, symbols, or words associated with casino activity will be used. This
ensures compatibility with the historic downtown character and avoids drawing undue
attention to the casino component.
• Landscaping: The site is fully developed with an existing building that occupies the
majority of the lot, which is consistent with the built form of the B-4 Central Business
District. As is typical in downtown developments, no additional landscaping is proposed or
required. The lack of landscaping does not detract from compatibility, given the urban
context and adjacency to civic and commercial uses.
10
Proposed Floor Plan
1. Site Suitability:
The site is located within Kalispell's central business core and is zoned B-4, which allows
for a wide range of commercial, civic, and entertainment uses. The property is developed with a
21,600-square-foot building, formerly used as office space, and proposed for conversion to a
restaurant, bar, and accessory casino. Approximately 11,068 square feet on the ground floor is
identified for the proposed use, including a defined 959-square-foot casino area. The site is
positioned along South Main Street and is within proximity to public parking, transit routes, and
other downtown services.
Adequate Useable Space: The existing building layout accommodates the proposed
interior use without requiring modifications to the site's footprint. The layout
provides sufficient space for food service, bar operations, and a segregated gaming
area.
b. Height, bulk and location of the building: The current design and structure of the
building will remain unchanged, adhering to zoning regulations that govern height,
bulk, and placement.
Adequate Access The property fronts South Main Street with reliable vehicle and
pedestrian access. The entrance connects directly to the public sidewalk system.
d. Environmental Constraints: There are no known environmental constraints, such as
streams, floodplains, or wetlands on the area of the property proposed for
development which could affect the proposed use.
2. Appropriate Design:
The project proposes no changes to the building's external footprint or structure. All
proposed interior renovations will be reviewed under the City of Kalispell's adopted building codes,
ensuring compliance with current life safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards. Interior
improvements are expected to include dining areas, bar service counters, commercial kitchen space,
and segregated gaming zones, all of which will require appropriate permitting and inspections.
In regard to parking, the absence of on -site parking is a common condition in the B-4 Central
Business district and is explicitly addressed by zoning allowances that recognize the shared -use
model of downtown parking. The site benefits from direct access to adjacent public parking areas,
structured lots, and on -street metered parking along South Main and surrounding blocks.
Furthermore, the location is within walking distance of major pedestrian routes and transit
connections, reinforcing its accessibility for both local residents and visitors.
All utilities necessary for commercial operations —including domestic water, sanitary sewer,
stormwater, refuse collection, electrical service, and natural gas —are available and fully developed
at the site. The City of Kalispell provides water, sewer, and solid waste services, while energy
utilities are delivered by established providers such as NorthWestern Energy and Flathead Electric
Cooperative. Utility connections and any required service modifications will be reviewed and
approved through the standard development review process.
a. Parking Scheme/Loading_Areas The The subject property does not include on -site
parking stalls, which is consistent with the development pattern in the B-4 Central
Business District. Under the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, properties located within
this district are exempt from minimum off-street parking requirements due to the
availability of shared public parking facilities and the pedestrian -oriented nature of
the downtown core. Adequate parking is available through nearby public lots, on -
street metered parking, and other shared -use arrangements within walking distance
of the site. No changes to loading or delivery access are proposed, and the site is
adequately served by existing street and alley infrastructure to accommodate service
needs.
b. Lighting_: Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all
outdoor lighting on commercial or residential structures. Any exterior lighting
installed in conjunction with the development will need to comply with those
standards.
C. Traffic Circulation: Traffic flow and control within the property will remain
unchanged. The garage conversion will not impact the current driveway or street
access points.
R
d. Open Space: There are no open space requirements associated with the property and,
as is typical in the downtown, the existing building is built from property line to
property line without open space available with the exception of the parking lot on
the west end of the property.
e. Fencin Screenin Landscaping: Screening and buffering measures will remain
unchanged. No new landscaping or fencing requirements are necessary.
f. Sim: The development shall comply with all of the sign standards as set forth in
Chapter 27.22 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, under the
conditional use permit section relating to casinos (Section 27.34.040), design
standards as appropriate may be placed on an accessory casino limiting or
prohibiting the on -premise signage or building from using the following (1) any
terms such as gaming, gambling, cards, dice, chance, etc.; (2) any reference to any
associated activity or any symbols or words commonly associated with gaming; (3)
any words, terms, figures, art work, or features intended or designed to attract
attention to the fact that a casino is on site; and (4) neon lighting. Given its location
in the historic downtown area, conditions relating to these design standards are
appropriate and the listed items should be prohibited in order to appropriately fit
within the historic character of the surrounding properties.
g. Building Code: All interior renovations will comply with the City of Kalispell's
adopted building codes, including requirements for life safety, accessibility, and
energy efficiency. Necessary permits and inspections will be coordinated through
the Building Department.
h. Access and Circulation within the Property: The internal circulation of the site will
remain functionally consistent with its current configuration. The primary entrance
faces South Main Street and connects directly to the public sidewalk system,
supporting ADA access. The interior layout allows for intuitive movement
throughout the facility, including access to dining areas, bar seating, kitchen and
service areas, and the segregated gaming area. Emergency egress routes will be
clearly designated and reviewed as part of the building permit process to ensure code
compliance and public safety.
i. Utilities: All necessary utilities are available at the site. The property is served by
municipal water and sewer provided by the City of Kalispell. Stormwater
infrastructure is in place and maintained per city requirements. Refuse collection is
managed through the City's solid waste services. Electrical service is provided by
Flathead Electric Cooperative, and natural gas is supplied by NorthWestern Energy.
Any required upgrades or modifications to utility service lines or meters will be
coordinated through the appropriate agencies and reviewed under the city's standard
permitting process
9
3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities:
Several aspects of the property will remain unchanged under the Conditional Use Permit,
including off-street parking and loading, refuse and garbage collection, screening and buffering,
signage, yards and open spaces, storm drainage, and fire and police services. The property will
continue to be served by City of Kalispell utilities, including water, sewer, refuse collection, police,
and fire services.
a. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. The
location is within the department's regular patrol area and no unusual public safety
impacts or service demands are anticipated as a result of the proposed
restaurant/bar/casino use. Calls for service are expected to remain within typical
ranges for downtown commercial operations.
b. Fire Protection: Protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department.
Station 61 is located approximately one block from the subject property, offering
excellent response times. However, as an Assembly Group A-2 occupancy, the
building must comply with all applicable fire protection requirements. In accordance
with the 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) and 2021 International Building Code
(IBC), no exceptions applya fire alarm system and sprinkler monitoring system
are required. The applicant must demonstrate that adequate fire suppression
measures, including these systems, will be provided prior to issuance of a building
permit. Additionally, a conceptual fire plan review must be completed and approved
by the Fire Marshal before any building permit is issued.
C. Water: Municipal water service is currently available and connected to the property.
The existing service line is adequate to support the proposed commercial kitchen,
dining area, restrooms, and fire protection systems
d. Sewer: The site is connected to the City's sanitary sewer system. Wastewater
demand from the proposed use will be comparable to similar restaurant/bar
establishments in the downtown area and can be accommodated within the existing
infrastructure.
e. Storm Water Drainage: Since the proposed project does not involve any new
impervious surfaces or expansions to the building or parking lot, there are no
additional stormwater management requirements. Drainage patterns on the site will
remain consistent with current conditions.
f. Solid Waste: Solid waste collection and disposal will continue to be provided by the
City of Kalispell. Commercial dumpsters and scheduled pickup services are
available to meet the operational needs of the business.
g. Streets: South Main Street is a fully developed urban street with sidewalks, curbing,
and lighting. No off -site improvements are required, and the street network provides
sufficient access and circulation for patrons, employees, and delivery vehicles.
10
h. Sidewalks: Sidewalks exist along the property's frontage and connect to the broader
downtown pedestrian network. No changes are proposed, and pedestrian access will
remain unimpeded.
i. Schools: No impact
Parks and Recreation: There are no impacts on city parks from the proposed use.
4. Neighborhood impacts:
Environmental factors such as noise, light, dust, odors, fumes, vibration, glare, and heat will
not be adversely affected by the proposed modifications. The hours of operation will remain 24/7,
365 days a year, ensuring continuous residential use without disruption to the surrounding
community.
The proposed changes seek to improve the overall downtown location and is already characterized
by mixed -use and nightlife activity. Potential impacts related to noise, traffic, and lighting are
expected to be minimal and typical for the district. The proposed hours of operation and the indoor -
only service model will limit disturbances. Any complaints or disruptions may be addressed through
licensing and nuisance abatement procedures.
Traffic: Minimal. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation analysis, the site will add an estimated 544 to 769 additional trips per day
to the City of Kalispell street system as compared to the previous use. Therefore, a
Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is required and must be completed and accepted by the
City prior to issuance of a building permit.
b. Noise and Vibration: All operations will occur within the enclosed 21,600-square-
foot building, and no amplified music or outdoor entertainment is proposed. While
some noise is expected from typical restaurant and bar use, it will be comparable to
existing nearby businesses and compatible with the downtown setting. No unusual
vibration impacts are anticipated.
Dust, Glare, and Heat: As the project involves interior renovation only, there will be
no construction -related dust beyond standard permitting practices. No excessive
glare or heat is anticipated from the proposed use. All heating, ventilation, and
lighting systems will be confined to the building and installed per city codes.
d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: The steakhouse will operate a professional
commercial kitchen, which will be outfitted with appropriate ventilation and
filtration systems per building and health code requirements. While typical food
preparation odors may occur, no significant off -site impacts from smoke, fumes, or
gases are expected.
II
Hours of Operation: Mountain Prime Steakhouse will operate from 11:00 AM to
2:00 AM, seven days a week. These hours are consistent with other downtown
dining and entertainment venues and support Kalispell's ongoing efforts to
promote an active and economically vibrant city center.
5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes:
The building's long-standing use as commercial office space and its location in the
historic townsite support adaptive reuse for restaurant/bar purposes. The proposed use is
consistent with current land use trends in the downtown area.
6. Effects on property values:
No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the
requested conditional use of the property.
7. Impact on surrounding area:
After considering the foregoing review criteria, it is found that the proposed use conforms
to the requirements set forth in Chapter 27 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the
application of generally applicable design standards and the conditions of approval provided for
herein ensure that the proposed use of the property will have no more adverse effect on the
health, safety, or comfort of persons living or working in the area and will be no more injurious,
economically, or otherwise, to property or improvements in the surrounding area than would any
use generally permitted in the district.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Commission adopt staff report #KCU-25-03
as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit
be approved subject to the following conditions:
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

the date of authorization, or a continuous good faith effort must be made to bring the
project to completion.
2. Substantial Conformance: The development and use of the site shall be in substantial
conformance with the submitted application and architectural/site plan drawings.
3. Compliance with Applicable Codes: The project shall comply with all applicable City
of Kalispell zoning ordinances, building codes, and fire safety regulations.
4. Environmental Considerations: Any construction -related impacts such as dust, noise,
or debris must be mitigated in accordance with City of Kalispell regulations.
5. State Licensing: Appropriate licensing for the use from the State of Montana
Department of Public Health and Human Services shall be obtained and maintained.
12
6. Building Permit: A building permit, if necessary, shall be obtained prior to commencing
the approved use. A final inspection must be completed by the City of Kalispell Building
Department before the newly converted space is occupied.
7. Accessory Casino Separation — Walls: The accessory casino area shall be enclosed by
permanent interior walls that extend from floor to ceiling, consistent with the physical
separation standards outlined in Section 27.34.040 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A
standard, closable interior door shall be installed to provide the sole point of access to the
accessory casino area, maintaining a clear distinction between the gaming use and the
primary restaurant/bar operation.
8. Accessory Casino Separation — Door: A standard, closable interior door shall be
installed to provide the sole point of access into the accessory casino area, maintaining
restricted entry and reinforcing its status as an accessory use.
9. Accessory Casino Compliance Verification: Prior to occupancy, final floor plans shall be
submitted to and approved by the Planning and Building Departments to verify compliance
with applicable zoning requirements, including floor area limitations, physical separation,
and access controls as required for accessory casino uses.
10. Signage Compliance: All signage must strictly comply with Chapter 27.22 of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. In addition, under Section 27.34.040, absolutely no signage or
architectural features shall advertise or draw attention to the casino. This includes, but is not
limited to: any use of the words "gaming," "gambling," "cards," "dice," "chance," or similar
terminology; any icons, graphics, or symbols associated with gambling; any language,
figures, or imagery designed to promote or highlight the presence of the casino; and any
form of neon lighting related to the gaming use. These elements are strictly prohibited.
Given the building's location in Kalispell's historic downtown, signage must respect and
reflect the district's visual character. No exceptions will be granted, and all proposed
signage must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department prior to installation.
