SUBJECT Wayne Grilley - Annexation and Initial Zoning of B-2, General
Commercial
MEETING DATE: May 19, 2008
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell City Planning Board met on. April S, 2005 and held a public
hearing to consider a request for annexation and initial zoning of B-2, General Business,
on two lots approximately one acre in size. The property is located on the east side of
Willow Glen Drive across from Glacier Toyota and just north of the intersection with US
:Highway 93 South. The property address is 1531 Willow Glen Drive and can be legally
described as tracts 5AA and 5G located in. Section 28, Township 28 North., Range 21 west,,
P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
Nicole C. Johnson, of the Kalispell Planning Department, presented staff report #KA-08-01
providing details of the proposal and the evaluation. She reported that the proposed B--2
zoning district was generally compatible with surrounding land uses and also consistent
with the Growth Policy which designated the area as commercial. Staff recommended the
board consider recommending the council approve the initial zoning of B-2 based on this
and other facts determined in the findings of fact report.
At the public hearing, Mr. Brian wood, spoke in favor of the proposed annexation and
initial zoning on behalf of the owner. No other persons made public comments or were
present to do so. The board briefly discussed the proposal and one member asked about
the location of crater and sewer services. Following this question and answer session, the
board approved the requested initial zoning of B--2, General Business, for the property
upon annexation to the City of Kalispell. The vote was unanimous.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the resolution annexing the property and a
motion to approve the first reading of the ordinance for initial zoning would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

SUBJECT: Cost of Services Analysis - Wayne Grilley Commercial Annexation
MEETING BATE: May 19, 2008
BACKGROUND,* This is a cost of services analysis for a one acre property located on the
east side of Willow Glen Drive just south of the intersection with. US Highway 93 South.
The current property address is 1531 willow Glen. Drive and can legally be described as
tracts 5AA and 5G located in Section 28, Township 28 North, Range 21 west, P. M. Nl. ,
Flathead County, Montana.
Once annexed to the City of Kalispell, full city services would be made available to the
property owner. Any necessary infrastructure associated with this development would be
required to be constructed in accordance with the City of Kalispell's Design and
Construction standards and any other development policies, regulations or ordinances
that may apply.
Because the property is vacant and no development plans have been disclosed, the cost of
services analysis has been generated using a recent development on a similar sized lot as
an example -Glacier Quilts at the Hutton Ranch Plaza (12 5 Hutton Ranch Road). The
vacant land value of the property is estimated to be $125,000. If the property owner put
$500,000 of improvements on the lot making the property worth $625,000, the property
would provide approximately $2,759 in revenue to the city per annum. A one time impact
fee could be expected to be around $21,322. Figures in the analysis represent the costs,
revenues and impact fees at the final build out stage.
Note that this cost of services analysis has been prepared for commercial land uses and is
only an estimate based on a variety of assumptions. This information does not take into
consideration the build -out time or changes in methods of assessment and estimated
costs associated with services. The information can only be used as a general estimate of
the anticipated cost of services and revenue. A complete and accurate calculation of
impact fees will be completed at the time a connection to water and sewer is requested
and/or a building permit is applied for as the necessary information would be available at
that time.
CONCLUSIONS: Cost of services for this annexation is estimated to be $3,180.
Approximately $5,939 will be generated from assessments and taxes and a one time
impact fee for water, sever, stormwater, police and fire is estimated to be $21,322. Based
on these estimated figures, the net revenue to the city would be approximately $2,759.
Again, these figures represent the theoretical development at the final build -out stage.
Please refer to Exhibit A for more details.

REQUEST FOR INITIAL ZONING OF B-2 UPON ANNEXATION
STAFF REPORT #KA-08-01
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
APRIL 1, 2008
This is a report for the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council
regarding the initial zoning of B-2 upon annexation to the city for a property located on
the southern end of Kalispell along willow Glen Drive near the intersection with US
Highway 93 South.. A public bearing has been scheduled before the planning board for
April S, 2008 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The
planning board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final
action.
This report evaluates the appropriate assignment of a city zoning classification in
accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The property
owner has petitioned for annexation and initial zoning classification of B-2, General
Business.

B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The two properties proposed for
annexation are located on the east side of Willow Glen Drive across from the
Toyota dealership on US Highway 93 South. The current property address is
1531 Willow Glen Drive and can legally be described as tracts 5AA and 5G located
in Section 23, Township 23 North, Range 21 west, P.M.M., Flathead County,
Montana.
C. Existing zoning. The two properties are currently in Flathead County
jurisdiction and are zoned R-1, Suburban Residential. The Flathead County
Zoning Regulations published on September 27, 1993 state that the county R-1
zoning district is intended to provide for estate -type development in rural areas
away from concentrated urban development. Permitted uses include single-family
homes, agriculture uses, parks, nurseries, produce stands, etc. This district is
very similar to the city R-1 zoning district. The property is immediately west of
the Kalispell City limits where B-2 (General Business) zoning exists.
D. Proposed zoning: City B-2, General Business, zoning designation has been
proposed for the two properties. The B-2 zoning district is intended to provide an
area for retail sales and service functions and businesses whose operations are
typically characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sale of merchandise.
This district depends on the proximity to major streets and arterials and should be
located in business corridors or in islands. Multi -family dwelling development is
one of the many permitted uses in this zone.
Figure 1. View of the subject property from the west side of willow Glen. Drive
E. Size: The area proposed for annexation and zoning encompasses approximately
o . 9 7 of an acre.
F. E. zdsting Land Use: Currently the property contains an abandoned house and
trailer which is planned to be removed. The property has one access from Willow
Glen Drive which is directly across from the east entrance of the Toyota dealership.
G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: Residential development surrounds the
property on the east side of Willow Glen Drive and commercial and industrial
businesses exist to the west including the US Highway 93 corridor.

H. General Land Use Character:
The property is located along Willow Glen Drive, a state secondary, and is a couple
hundred feet south of the intersection with Us Highway 93 South. The property
surrounding US 93 and Willow Glen Drive is identified on the Kalispell Growth
Policy Future Land Use Map as a prime location for retail, offices, services, mixed
use and residential uses. The existing uses to the west of the property are
consistent with those future land use designations. The majority of land to the
north, east and south are within the county jurisdiction and are rural residential
in nature or governmental operations.
Figure 2. Aerial photograph of the property and adjacent land uses*
*Note: Property lines shown here are not an accurate representation of the tract boundary limes.
I. Availability of Public Services and Extension of Services: Public services,
including water and sewer, are currently available along the east side of the US
Highway 93 South corridor and may be extended north from the intersection of
Willow Glen Drive and US Highway 93 South. There may also be an opportunity to
connect to an eight inch water main that was extended as part of the Toyota
dealership site development. A permit from the Montana Department of
Transportation (MDT) may be required should the applicant have to bore under the
road to access the utilities at the time development is proposed. A fire hydrant
exists in the northeast corner of the Toyota dealership lot, but it is more than the
3
typically required 400 feet from the lot. Installation of another hydrant may be
necessary and would be determined at the time construction is proposed.
EVALUATION EASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-303, Montana
Code Annotated (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.
1. Does the re nested zone com 1 with the Master Plan?
The properties are designated by the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 as Commercial
which is intended for retail, offices, services, mixed use and residential type
development.
Chapter 4, Policy 3 of the Growth Policy states that commercial districts along
major arterials are anticipated to provide for uses that require space for outdoor
display of merchandise, storage materials and/or equipment and outdoor sales
areas and expansion of these areas should be contingent upon the provision of
public services and adequate infrastructure.
Chapter 3 of the growth policy encourages a mix of residential housing in
appropriate locations such as high density housing close to major arterials and
services.
The proposed B-2 zoning permits uses in accordance with the Growth Policy.
The property is also located along willow Glen Drive, a minor arterial and state
secondary, and is only a couple of hundred feet from the intersection with US
Highway 93 South. Public services are available and Willow Glen Drive is slated
for improvements. The property is surrounded by a mix of uses and is
immediately adjacent to a City B-2 zone and the applicant may easily access city
sewer and water.
Currently there are no development plans for the property, however, any use of
the property would be confined by the B-2 zoning district regulations and the
technical and architectural design of any development will be reviewed by city
staff and a variety of committees including the Site Development Review
Committee and the Architecture Review Committee.
In conclusion, the proposed B-2 zoning is consistent with the general commercial
land use designation shown on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map
dated August 7, 2006.
2. Is the requested zone desi ed to lessen congestion in the streets?
The uses allowed under the proposed B--2 zone would generate more traffic than
those allowed under the existing R-1 county zoning. However, Willow Glen
Road is a state secondary and is considered a minor arterial that is slated for
upgrades in the near future by the MDT to handle additional traffic. The
4
additional traffic generated as a result of this annexation and zone change
would be insignificant due to the small size of the lots included in the zone
change.
3. Will the requested zone secure safe from fire anic and other dangers*;'
Adequate access and public facilities are available to the site in the case of an
emergency. There are no features related to the property which would
compromise the safety of the public. Note that the two structures on the
property will be removed prior to annexation and connections to water for fire
suppression services will be established prior to combustible construction. Any
new construction will be required to be in compliance with the building safety
codes of the City which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal services
including police and fire protection, water and sewer service would be available to
the property.
4. Will the requested zone promote the health and general welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general welfare
by restricting land uses to those which would be consistent with the city's growth
policy map and provide a place for new commercial business or higher density
residential to locate within city limits.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring on this site
are established in the Kalispell Zoning ordinance to insure adequate light and air
is provided.
6. will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land?
The minimum lot size for the proposed B-2 zoning designation on this property
is 7,000 square feet. The potential development associated with the property
would be limited only by the development standards associated with the B--2
zoning district that relate to lot coverage and the types of uses permitted under
the zoning. The proposed commercial development in this area is appropriate
because of its location and the availability of urban services. The rezoning of
this land would not create an overcrowding of land.
7. Will the requested zone avoid undue con.cen.tration of people?
Minimum lot standards and use standards will avoid the undue concentration of
people if the property is further developed.
8. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate. provision of transportation, water
sewerage, schools arks and other ublic re uirements?
All public services and facilities will be provided to the property prior to
construction and development is encouraged in the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020
where these services are available. The property has legal access onto willow
As
10.
11.
Glen Drive, a state secondary, and US Highway 93 is a couple hundred feet from
the property where water and sewer mains exist. It should be noted that to
connect to these lines, the owner would be required to bore under the Willow
Glen Drive right-of-way to connect to city crater and would have to extend a
sewer line from the US 93 /Willow Glen Drive south to the property line. There
are no sidewalks, boulevards or landscaping along Willow Glen Drive making
pedestrian or bicycle travel difficult. Utility connections and transportation
corridors would be addressed when development is proposed on the property.
Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the
pro-perty for particular uses?
The property is level, not within any floodplain areas and no mapped streams or
wetlands are present. The proposed B-2 zoning district is consistent with the
surrounding land uses to the east and gives due consideration of the suitability
of this property for the permitted uses in the district. The property is suitable for
commercial and residential type land uses as indicated by the Growth Policy.
Does the re uested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the
district?
The property is located off of Willow Glen Drive and is close to US Highway 93
South. City B--2 zoning exists immediately west of the one acre property across
Willow Glen Drive where Glacier Toyota is located. Primarily county residential,
public, and industrial zones surround the north, east and south boundaries of
the property. Although residential homes are immediately north and south of the
project site, the city's growth policy map has designated this area as appropriate
for commercial land uses. This is due in part to the sites proximity to US
Highway 93 and the fact that Willow Glen Drive will most likely be upgraded in
the near future to support more traffic. More intensive traffic along Willow Glen
Drive and at the intersection With US Highway 93 would not be ideal for single
family residential land uses.
With the development of the US 93 corridor and the agencies use of land to the
north on Willow Glen Drive, the county has realized that the area is changing
from primarily single family residential to commercial or light industrial. The
county owned property to the north has been used for the county's bus system
and as a storage yard for road maintenance equipment. The existing single
family homes in the area are older houses that include a mix of site built homes
and mobile homes. In conclusion, the character of this immediate area, once
primarily larger single family lots, is changing due to more commercial land uses
along Highway 93 South and the development of commercial or industrial uses in
this immediate area of Willow Glen Drive. A B-2 zoning designation would be
appropriate for the site.
Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings.?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the B-2 zoning will
promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other
properties in the area.
Cl
12. Will the requested zone encourage the most a ro riate use of the sand
throughout the municipality?
Commercial development should be encouraged in areas were services and
facilities are available to support commercial uses which would be allowed under
the B-2 zoning district as indicated in the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020. The
proposed zoning and potential subsequent uses would be consistent with the
surrounding land uses in the area and when development is proposed,
construction standards outlined and required in the city's building codes, staff
review and design guidelines will help to enhance one of Kalispell's most used
gateway entrance corridors.
RECOMMENDATION:

Subject: Grilley
spoke with Dawn Frame, who owns the property to the north of Grilley on Willow Glen. She received a notice
regarding the annexation/zoning (she said he intends to put in a used car lot). Her main concern was whether
she would be brought into the city as well, or get pulled into an extraterritorial building or zoning area. I think I
addressed all of her concerns, but thought you may want to know that we got a call.
