Re: January 2701 Work Session - Cornerstone Church PUD
The attached application is a request by the Cornerstone Church to rezone their
property located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Northridge Drive and
Highway 93 so that the eastern half of their property is rezoned from R-3 (Urban
Single Family Residential) to B-1 (Neighborhood Buffer District) to accommodate
the location of a new bank. The property owned by the church along Parkway
Drive will remain R-3. The church is also requesting a planned unit development
(PUD) overlay zoning district on the property.
The PUD request would permit a zero side yard building setback to accommodate a
drive -through facility for the bank. The PUD also requests to allow a bank and
drive -through facility of up to 6,000 square feet and four drive -through lanes. The
B-1 zone permits drive -through facilities with no more than two lanes and an
associated bank of no more than 2,000 square feet in size. The final request in the
PUD application is to reduce the rear yard setback for the B-1 from 20 feet down to
15 feet to recognize the existing 15 foot setback on a portion of the church
building.
Section 27.21.020(5) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance requires the planning board
to hold at least one work session on a proposed PUD plan prior to a public hearing.
The work session is intended for information purposes only and is a forum for the
public and planning board to hear the developer present their project in detail. No
decision will be made at this meeting. I will provide a brief presentation and
outline any major concerns city staff may have on the project.
