I am writing in response to your December 20th request for a
zoning determination of the above -referenced property. My
apologies for the delay in responding - it was necessary to first
consult with both the city attorney and the Montana Department of
Transportation because of the city airport's proximity to the
subject parcel.
The property in question is currently zoned B-2, General
Business. The setback requirements in the B-2 zone are as
follows: Front Yard-20 feet, Side Yard-5 feet, Rear Yard-20 feet,
and Side Corner-15 feet. The B-2 zone does not have a lot
coverage restriction. The maximum building height in the B-2 zone
is 35 feet. However, the property also lies within the city
airport's RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE, and is subject to standards set
forth in the Federal Aviation Regulations as well as local
zoning.
With the recent adoption of the Kalispell City Airport
Neighborhood Plan, the City Council has made a commitment to
making the existing airport safer to the users of the facility
and the citizens of Kalispell alike. One of the goals of the plan
is to minimize hazards to navigation by seeking compliance with
FAA airport design standards. The plan calls for the removal of
all objects within the runway protection zone (map attached) and
to maintain those zones under public ownership.
It is suggested that you or your client contact the city council,
through the city manager, to ascertain their intentions regarding
this particular piece of property. Unless otherwise instructed,
building permits will not be issued for properties lying within
the Runwav Protection Zone. If you have any further questions,
feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Wood
Zoning Administrator
