This is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a
request for a conditional use permit to expand an existing dance school. A public hearing on

A. Size and cation: The property where the building is located is approximately
0.46 of an acre in size and is immediately east of Edgerton School between the
school and Whitefish Stage Road. The building address is 44 Bruyer Wa, and the
property can be described as lot 3 of Buffalo Stage Professional Park located in
Section 31, Township 29 North, Range 21 West.
S. Nature of Request: In November of 2010 the applicants received a conditional use
permit from the Kalispell City Council to operate a dance studio at 46 Bruyer Way.
The applicants have opened the studio and now need additional space to
accommodate more classes during the prime teaching hours. The request before the
planning board and city council is to expand the dance studio into the adjacent suite,
44 Bruyer Way. The conditional use permit is required because the applicants would
like to double the size of the existing dance studio and a dance studio is defined as a
commercial school in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, requiring a conditional use
permit in the R-5 zone.
The proposed dance school expansion will included ballet classes for pre- and
school -aged children as well as adult classes. Other dance styles such as jazz and
modern will also be taught as the school grows. Classes will be held between the
hours of 3:30 pm through 9:00 pm, Monday through Friday during the months of
September through May. There will be some morning classes as well as
occasional Saturday classes. Summer classes, June through August, will be held
during daytime hours.
Class sizes will range from 10-20 students. If the schedule provides, the space
may also include classes for acting, yoga, and/or fitness classes. Music
associated with the school will be played inside to avoid impacting adjacent
property owners.

C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The property is developed with one building broken
up into three separate suites which are unimproved at this time. Each suite is a
single level unit approximately 2,200 square feet in size. The building is located on
lot 3 of the Buffalo Stage Professional Park and is approximately 0.46 of an acre is
size.
The property is zoned R-5 (Residential/Professional Office) which is a zoning
district intended to accommodate single-family homes, duplexes and professional
offices where it is not deemed desirable to permit a more intensive business
activity of a retail nature. The district serves as a buffer between residential areas
and other commercial districts and is typically associated with arterial or minor
arterial streets. Commercial schools require a conditional use permit in the R-5
zoning district.
D. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: This area along Whitefish Stage Road is a mix
of uses including a public elementary school - Edgerton, professional offices, a
church, small shopping area to the south of proposed dance studio and residential
development to the north and east. Surrounding zoning includes a mix of residential
zoning districts including R-5, RA-1 (Residential Apartment) and R-4 (Residential).
The school located west of the dance studio building is zoned P-1 (Public) .

E. Growth Policy Designation: The Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map
designates the property as Urban Residential however the property is on the
boundary between the Urban Residential land use designation and the Urban Mixed
Use designation. The Urban Residential land use designation typically
accommodates single-family, duplex and low density apartment developments. The
Urban Mixed Use designation is extended to those areas undergoing a transition or
which serve as buffer areas, in this case buffering the school and residential
development from Whitefish Stage Road. The Urban Mixed Use designation
accommodates uses including office, residential and commercial. The proposed
dance studio fits under this designation.

site is level with adequate parking and an existing access off of Bruyer Way.
b. Adequate Access: Access to the site is provided by a driveway, approximately

traffic generated by the dance studio.
C. Environmental Constraints: No significant environmental constraints are
associated with this property such as floodplain or wetland areas, steep slopes
or severe drainage problems.
a. Parking Scheme: Currently there are 13 parking spaces on the north side of
the building and 36 spaces east of the building. Section 27.24.050 of the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance provides the required minimum off-street
parking spaces needed for individual uses. Under this section commercial
schools are required to provide 1 parking space per 3 students plus 1
space per employee.
Based on the maximum number of students per class (20) and maximum

proposed dance studio use of the property other than those associated with

business park sign, located at the intersection of Bruyer Way and Whitefish
Stage Road, and above the entrance of the building.
a. Police: This facility is currently served by the Kalispell Police Department. No
increased impacts to the police can be anticipated as a result of the proposed
classroom use.

landscaped boulevard and sidewalk on the south side of the street. No
negative impacts on the street are anticipated with the use of the building as a
dance studio.

dance studio including Edgerton School and other commercial buildings.
5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The general
character of this neighborhood is residential development to the north and east with a
mix of commercial, residential and public school to the south and west. The use of
the existing building for a dance studio will not have a significant impact on the
neighborhood with regard to noise or hours of operation and will not have a negative
impact on the character of the area.
6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values
are anticipated. As previously mentioned the proposal is compatible with the
surrounding development and will not create any adverse impacts with regard to
noise or traffic.

findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Conditional Use Permit
be approved subject to the following conditions:

completion.
2. Prior to operating the dance studio the applicant shall apply for and receive a
building permit for tenant improvements necessary to allow the dance studio to
operate. All improvements shall comply with current building and fire code
standards and be completed prior to operating the dance studio.

PLEASE NOTE: In October 2010, we received a CUP and opened our dance studio at 46 Bruyer Way. We
have been teaching ballet classes to ages 4 through adult and are currently looking for an additional CUP
in order to expand into the attached northern space - 44 Bruyer. We want to expand into a bigger space
because our enrollment has substantially increased over the last 11 months and we need room to be
able to teach different age groups in two spaces during the prime time teaching hours. I laving this
additional space will make it possible for this to happen. We would 'punch out' a door in the north wall
of the existing studio space into the proposed studio space - 46 Bruyer and 44 Bruyer would be our new
dance space.
From the north and south off of Whitefish Stage, traffic will use Bruyer Way to enter and exit the
business park. Access to the property involves turning at the first left into Buffalo Stage Business Park.
Clientele will drive through the north end of the business park to access 44 Bruyer Way. Ample parking
is located on the north and east side of the building.
Refuse and service areas are located between Charlie Mason's business and 42, 44, 46 Bruyer Way.
Utilities are located on the northwest corner of the building which supplies all three addresses.
The entire building perimeter is beautifully landscaped with sod and low lying shrubs and flowers.
Signage will be on the in the door to the studio.
This middle building of the triplex (#44) will be used as a dance school where ballet will be taught to
pre- and school -aged children as well as adult classes as needed. Other dance styles such as jazz, and
modern will also be taught as the school grows.
Approximately 80% of the operating hours will be held between 3:30pm through 9:00pm, Mon -Fri. Sept -
May. The remaining 20% of the operating hours will be in the morning, some Saturdays, and summer
classes. Summer classes will be held during the daytime.
No more than one class will be taught at a time in the #44 Bruyer space with a range of 10-20 students
per class. We are currently renting space to two fitness groups.
Music will be played inside the building.
Florescent lighting will be used inside and there will be no dust, odors, fumes, or vibrations produced at
this location.
