REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager �X
FROM: Sean Conrad, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Tanner etal, zone change request
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2012
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell City Planning Board met on Tuesday, November 13th and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Natasha Tanner etal, for a zone change on three lots from R-3 (Residential) to R-4
(Residential). The three lots are located in the Park View Terrace subdivision on the north side of Indian Trail
Road. The lot addresses are 50 Rising Sun Circle, 70 Rising Sun Circle and 202 Farview Drive. The lots at the
corner of Rising Sun Circle and Indian Trail Road, 50 and 70 Rising Sun Circle, are already developed with a four-
plex and duplex dwellings respectively. The zone change will have no impact to these properties other than bring
them closer to or in conformance with the current use of the property. The property at 202 Farview is currently
developed with a single-family house. The zone change to R-4 would permit the property owner to convert the
house into a duplex unit.
The three lots included in the zone change request can be legally described as lots 1, 3 and 7 of Block 2 of the Park
View Terrace subdivision. The lots are located in Section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead
County, Montana.
At the hearing planning department staff presented staff report KZC-12-2 and reviewed the proposed project. The
staff recommended approval of the zone change.
At the public hearing the applicant, Ms. Tanner, spoke in favor of the zone change request. No one else spoke for
or against the zone change and the public hearing was closed.
The planning board then acted on a motion to recommend the city council consider approving the zone change on
the three lots from R-3 to R-4. The vote to recommend approval of the zone change was unanimous.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the first reading of the zone change recommended by the planning
board.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive fiscal effects if the project is approved.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a
request to change the zoning district on three lots from R-3 to R-4. A public hearing
has been scheduled before the Kalispell City Planning Board for November 13, 2012
beginning at 7:00 PM, to consider the zone change request. The planning board will
forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for consideration.
'#1Zf'a["0 :. "I "I '�� : 6
The planning department received a zone change request from Natasha Tanner and
the owners of two other lots in the Parkview Terrace subdivision for a zone change on
all three lots from R-3 (Residential) to R-4 (Residential). The lot addresses are 50
Rising Sun Circle, 70 Rising Sun Circle and 202 Farview Drive. The lots at the corner
of Rising Sun Circle and Indian Trail Road, 50 and 70 Rising Sun Circle, are already
developed with a four-plex and duplex dwellings respectively. The zone change will
have no impact to these properties other than bring them closer to or in conformance
with the current use of the property. The property at 202 Farview is currently
developed with a single-family house. The zone change to R-4 would permit the
property owner to convert the house into a duplex unit.
The Parkview Terrace subdivision was platted in phases in the late 1960's and early
1970's. At that time the City of Kalispell had a zoning ordinance in place which
included only six zoning districts. Of the six zoning districts the residential zoning
districts all permitted single-family homes, duplexes and multi -family housing. These
zoning districts were in effect when the Parkview Terrace subdivision was created. As
figure 1 on the following page illustrates, the subdivision then began to build out with
a mix of single-family, duplex and multi -family housing.
In 1978 the city began a complete overhaul of the city's zoning ordinance. Through
this process the city placed a single-family residential zoning district, R-4, on a
majority of the subdivision with an RA-1 zoning district on the east side of the
subdivision. The meeting notes on this update process state that the committee
recognized that zoning a majority of the subdivision would place several multi -family
dwellings as non -conforming, except for the area zoned RA- 1, but the committee felt
that the R-4 zoning better protected the single-family residents in the subdivision from
further intrusion of multi -family housing.
An update of the zoning ordinance in 1987 led to another change in zoning within the
subdivision. The previous R-4 zoning district, which permitted only single-family
homes, was now designated as R-3. The R-3 zoning district permits only single-family
homes. That portion of the Parkview Terrace subdivision which was zoned RA-1 was
rezoned to R-4. The R-4 zoning district, under the 1987 ordinance update, is similar
to the R-4 zoning district currently in the zoning code in that it permits both single-
family homes and duplexes.
Since the zoning ordinance update in 1987 no zone changes have occurred in the
Parkview Terrace subdivision.

The question before the planning board and city council is whether extending the R-4
zoning district to the north side of Indian Trail Road to include the three lots
requesting the zone change is appropriate. Factors for consideration include the
limited increase in the number of dwelling units the zone change would result in, in
this case only one given the current use of the three properties, and if the zone change
would unduly change the character of the area. The staff report recommendation is
for the planning board and city council to consider approving the zone change request
based on the findings of fact on pages 4 and 5 of this report.

B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The three lots included in the zone
change request can be legally described as lots 1, 3 and 7 of Block 2 of the Park
View Terrace subdivision. The lots are located in Section 6, Township 28 North,
Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
C. E2'sting Land Use and Zoning: The three lots included in the zone change
request are developed with a four plcx apartment building (50 Rising Sun Circle),
a duplex (70 Rising Sun Circle) and a single family residence (202 Farview Drive).
All three properties are zoned R-3 (Residential).
The R-3 zoning district is a district intended to provide lot areas for urban
residential development. This district should have good thoroughfare access, and
be in proximity to community and neighborhood facilities, i.e., schools, parks,
shopping areas, etc. Development within this district must be served by all public
utilities. The R-3 zoning district has a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and
a minimum lot width of 50 feet.
D. Proposed Zoning: The R-4 (Residential) zoning district is comprised of primarily
single-family and duplex dwellings. Development within the district will require
all public utilities, and all community- facilities. Like the R-3 zoning district, the
R-4 zoning district has a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and a minimum
lot width of 50 feet.
64'. Size: The three • make up an area • 20,712 • feet.
North: Residential, R-3
East: Residential, R-3 and RA
South: Residential, R-3
West: Residential, R-3
G. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of this area can be
described as a mix of residential housing types. Single-family residences,
duplexes and multi -family housing are located in the immediate vicinity of the
three lots requesting the zone change.
H. Utilities and Public Services: All three properties are served by city water and
sewer and by city streets.

I. Public Comment: Prior to submitting the zone change application the planning
department discussed potential issues with changing the zoning on just the lot
owned by Ms. Tanner, the applicant for this zone change. The planning
department encouraged Ms. Tanner to discuss with her neighbors on the north
and south sides of Indian Trail Road who are also zoned R-3 to see if they would
3
like to join in her application to rezone their properties. The purpose of
requesting Ms. Tanner to seek additional properties to join in her zone change
application was to avoid zoning just one lot on the north side of Indian Trail Road
to R-4.
Shortly after Ms. Tanner contacted her neighbors the planning department
received two letters (letters attached to this report) from property owners on the
south side of Indian Trail Road. The property owners did not want to be included
in the zone change request, noting they were fine with their current zoning of R-
3. Both letters also noted that they did not have an issue with Ms. Tanner's zone
change request to R-4.
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.
Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy?
The property is designated by the Kalispell Growth Policy future land use map as
"Urban Residential" which anticipates residential development with a density of
between 3 to 12 dwelling units per acre. The proposed R-4 zoning designation
permits density within the range listed in the urban residential land use
designation.
Chapter 3, Land Use: Housing, in the Kalispell Growth Policy document includes
the following goal:
Provide an adequate supply and mix of housing that meets the needs of present
and future residents in terms of cost, type, design and location.
The request to change the zoning to X-4 will permit the one single-family
residence located at 202 Farview Drive to be modified into a duplex. This
increase in housing at a location in close proximity to a major shopping center,
parks and served by city streets will meet the goal stated above. The RA zoning
also makes the duplex located at 70 Rising Sun Circle a permitted use. The
duplex is currently considered a non -conforming use under the R-3 zoning
district.
2. Will the requested zone have an effect on motorized and nonmotorized
transportation systems?
The properties requesting the zone change to RA will not produce a noticeable
impact to motorized or nonmotorized transportation systems. The requested R-4
zoning would permit an additional dwelling unit at 202 Farview Drive. This
additional home could be expected to generate between 8 and 10 vehicle trips per
day based on estimated trip generations contained in the International
Transportation Engineer's "Trip Generation" manual. The additional vehicle trips
can be accommodated by the existing street system in the area.
El
Currently, there axe limited sidewalks in the Parkview Terrace subdivision.
However, the additional dwelling unit the zone change would permit will not
kmpact nonmotorized transportation systems in the area.
3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers?
Adequate access and public facilities are available to the properties in the case of
an emergency. There are no features related to the properties which would
compromise the safety of the public. All municipal services including police and
fire protection, water and sewer service are available to the area.
4. Will the requested zone promote the public health, safe tv and general welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general welfare
by restricting land uses to those that would be compatible with the adjoining
properties.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and lot coverage standards for new development or
redevelopment occurring on the three lots are established in the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance to insure 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 currently available. Development should be
encouraged in areas where these services are available.
7. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the
property for particular uses?
All three properties included in the zone change are already developed. The zone
change would permit one of the lots to convert an existing single-family residence
to a duplex. The properties do not exhibit any constraints that would prohibit
the zone change from R-3 to R-4.
8. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the
district?
The general character of the area is urban scale residential development with the
immediate block a mix of single-family homes, duplex units and multi -family
apartment buildings. The RA zoning district permits development that is
reasonable and in line with the character of the surrounding R-3 and R-4 zoning
districts.
9. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the R-4 zoning will
promote compatible and like uses on the properties requesting the zone change
as are found on other properties in the area.
10. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land
throughout the municipality?
0
Urban scale residential development should be encouraged in areas where
services and facilities axe available. The proposed zoning is consistent with the
growth policy future land use designation and the growth policy's goal of
(troviding a mix of housing types in appropriate locations.

It is recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt
Staff Report #KZC 12-2 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council
that the three properties be rezoned to R-4 (Residential).

INTEREST IN PROPERTY: Owner of one of the properties
PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:
50 Rising Sun Circle, 70 Rising Sun Circle,
A. Address of the property: 202 Farview Drive, Kalispell, MT 59901
B. Legal Description: (Subdivision Name, Lot & Block and/or Tract Number
(Section, Township, Range) Parkview Terrace Section 6, Township 28N,

(Attach sheet for metes and bounds)
C. Land in zone change (ac) Between 0.5 and 1 acre: 0.542 acres
D. The present zoning of the above property is: R-3
E
The proposed zoning of the above property is: R-4
F. State the changed or changing conditions that make the proposed
amendment necessary:
The zoning needs to match current usage. Two of the properties are multi -family
and are non -conforming use. These properties have been non -conforming
sinc:P hPforP the arPa was first 7nneri as R-3 Toning These prnpPrties are siirrounded
by other multi -family properties and kitty-corner to 6-11tm-fa- il,
HOW WILL THE PROPOSED CHANGE ACCOMPLISH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF:
A. Promoting the Growth Policy
The change in zoning will not negatively affect this 30 year -old, built -out neighborhood.
The Growth Policy states that "Kalispell is a community that... will continue to strengthen
its position as the regional commercial and governmental center... in creating... a
variety of housing options" and this will help allow for more housing options.
B. Lessening congestion in the streets and providing safe access
The zoning change will not increase congestion in the streets nor will it hinder providing
safe access. The streets are paved and wide enough'to accommodate existing
traffic. There are two entrances to the neighborhood: a direct turn onto Indian Trail
from Hwy 93 and a turn at the light to FVCC onto Grand View Drive from Hwy 93.
C. Promoting safety from fire, panic and other dangers
The zoning change will have no negative impact on the safety from fire, panic and
other dangers as all of the properties already have homes and are in a well
established multi -family neighborhood. The North Fire Station 62 (only 1 mile away)
was recently built and provides safety in the result of fire.
D. Promoting the public interest, health, comfort, convenience, safety and general
welfare
There will be no compromise to the comfort, safety and general welfare of the public.
All of these properties already have homes and many are multi -family. By acknowledging
that these properties are multi -family it will increase the public interest, health, and
convenience by providing affordable housing properly zoned.
E. Preventing the overcrowding of land
The existina homes on citv lots will not create an overcrowdina of the land. All of the
lots are already built upon and if any of the owners want to change their homes they
will have to apply for a building permit and follow city code. The zoning change will
not negatively affect the land, just match current and historical use.
F. Avoiding undue concentration of population
All of the properties that have multi-famil structures are non -conforming use. An
that wish to be multi -family that are currently single family residences will need to
apply and be approved for the proper building permits and meet code. Again there
are no vacant lots so the landscape will not change.
G. Facilitating the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewage, schools,
parks and other public facilities
The area has all public utilities including: water, sewer, gas, electric, cable, phone,
internet and trash removal, so the the zoning change will not adversely affect the
access to these public utilities. All of the lots requested in the zoning change are
served by city streets. Also, the area is in a prime location to access all community
facilities including but not limited to: schools (Flathead Valley Community College is
within half a mile), grocery stores, restaurants, post offices and much more. It would
promote the public interest to allow more families access to all these community facilities.
2
H. Giving reasonable consideration to the character of the district
The character of the neighborhood was established in the early 1970's. There are
many multi -family properties in the area and the current single family zoning does
not match the character of the district. There are no vacant lots in the neighborhood,
so the zoning change will not change the character. Right across the street,
Indian Trail, is multi -family zoning and it would be prudent to continue the zoning.
I. Giving consideration to the peculiar suitability of the property for particular uses
The properties are non -conforming use with R-3 zoning which has stricter set -backs
for building than R-4 zoning also all of the lots are within 30 square feet of meeting
the minimum lot size requirements for R-4 zoning. The properties are well suited
and well laid out for their current usage.
J. Protecting and conserving the value of buildings
The properties are currently non-conforminci use of the enforced single family zoning.
Removing the non -conforming use hinderance will increase the value of the properties
as buyers will be more willing to buy properties with proper zoning. These properties
are surrounded by other multi -family homes.
K. Encouraging the most appropriate use of land by assuring orderly growth
The properties are already built out with multi -family structures. The land has been
used for decades for multi -family uses and changing the zoning will have no
negative impact on the growth of the land. The change in zoning will simply allow
the zoning to match the current character and proper use of the land. Re -zoning
the lots in question will bring some of the lots from non -conforming use to conforming use.
The signing of this application signifies approval for Kalispell Planning staff to be present
on the roperty for routine monitoring and inspection during approval process.

City of Kalispell Planning Department September 24, 2012
Hello,
My name is Natasha Tanner and I built my first home in September of 2011. My house
sits on the corner of Indian Trail and Farview Drive. My neighborhood is filled with
multi -family homes even though most of the area is zoned R-3. Every home in the
neighborhood was built in the 70's or the 80's, long before the city zoned the area. All of
the multi -family properties are currently non -conforming use. I am requesting a zoning
change for three properties from R-3 to R-4. Two of these properties already have multi-
family homes, a duplex and a 4-plex, and the other property is my single family home.
Also, there is R-4 zoning right across the street on Indian Trail. My lot was the last
empty lot in the entire subdivision so this zoning change will not change the
neighborhood, since the character of the neighborhood has been established for decades.
I have personally visited with almost all of the neighbors in the area regarding the
proposed zoning change. Most neighbors are supportive and many were surprised to learn
it wasn't zoned for multi -family already since there are countless multi -family properties
throughout this subdivision. A few neighbors are concerned their property tax may
increase. The zoning change would have no impact in the overall feel of the
neighborhood since it is already a mix of single family and multi -family homes.
Best Regards,
Natasha Tanner

Re: Pending zoning change request by Natasha Tanner at 202 Farview Drive.
Dear Mr. Conrad,
Reference my phone conversation with you on Monday of this week, we are sending this letter for
your files.
We understand that the zoning request by Ms. Tanner would change the zoning of our residence from
R3 to R4. We desire to remain as an R3 zone and not be included in any R4 zoning. When we bought our
home some 32 years ago, it was R3 and we and our neighbors are very satisfied with that arrangement.
There are enough multiple dwellings in the neighborhood to make conditions, parking, etc., crowded.
The covenants advise that there is to be no parking on the streets and that is already overlooked.
We have no problem with the zoning of Ms. Tanner's home but it should NOT involve four other
homes.
We respectfully request that the residence at 107 Indian Trail Road remain an R3, single family
residence.
Sincerely,
ca-1�4 r e

NE: Pending Zoning Change Request by Natasha Tanner-202 Farview DF..,
Dear Mr. Conrad:
Pursuant to our phone conversation of even date I am putting in writing
our requests on this issue.
It is my understanding that the impending request would change the zoning
for our residence from R3 to R4, thus making our single family home a
multi -family zoning and therefore rezoning our residence and 3 other single
family residences on Indian Trail to R4. We would like for our home to
remain an R3 zoning as it was 35 years ago when we purchased it®
As the residence requesting the change is on Farview we do not feel this
needs to involve our home®
We have no issue with the 202 Farview Drive being zoned R4 allowing the
owner to obtain the proper zoning and permits to satisfy her requests®
Therefore at this time we respectfully request that 119 Indian Trail remain
an R3 - single family residence zoning - and not be changed to an Roe
Sincerely,
Millie (Midred)
