(Individualized Learning Center) to locate temporarily in a portion of the lower level of the building. The conditions of the previous permits have been met. A. Petitioner/ Owner: Flathead Hospital Development Company, LLC 310 Sunnyview Lane Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 752-1724 B-0 T. Marcello Pierrottet, Facilities Manager Northwest Health Care 310 Sunnyview Lane Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 751-5766 Size and Location: This parcel contains just over one acre (47,252 square feet) and is located on the west side of Claremont Street between Conway Drive and Crestline Avenue near the hospital campus. The property address is 66 Claremont Avenue. The proposed remodel and change in use will affect 41647 of the approximately 16,000 square feet of usable space. The property can be legally described as Lot 4A of the Amended Plat of Lots 3 and 4 Highland Parr Addition in section 6, Township 28 North, Range 21 west, P. M. M, Flathead County, MT. C. Sum ary of Request: This is a request for a conditional use permit to locate the existing kindergarten and sick child day care in the lower portion of the building located at 66 Claremont Street. The Kid Kare program, a day care center, currently occupies the upper level of the building and until recently the VA Clinic, a medical use, occupied the lower level portion of the building. The applicant is proposing to remodel the interior of the old ETA Clinic to provide for an expanded. kindergarten (individualized Learning Center) and add space for the Dinosore program (sick child day care) now located in the Medical Arts Building. The old kindergarten space would become office space for staff and encompasses 1,593 square feet. The project combines the two day care operations and learning center program under one roof. Day care centers are listed as a conditionally permitted use in the H-1 zoning district. For the purposes of this request staff is considering the proposed functions, Individualized Learning Center and Dinosore program, a day care center use. The following list provides details for the two programs. Individualized Learnin enter (pre- kindergarten, kindergarten, and 1 st grade) ■ 2,929 square -foot space ■ 22 students ■ 3 teachers, 1-2 aides ■ Hours of operation - 9 AM to 3 PM, M-F ■ Off-street parking requirements: 9 Dino Sore Program (sick child day care center) ■ 1,468 square -foot space 1-12 children (on average 2 to 6) 1-2 staff (dependent on # of children) • Hours of operation - 6:30 AM to 6 PM, M-F ■ Off-street parking requirements: 4 Both programs would be operated primarily for the employees of the Kalispell Regional Medical Center, however the public is not excluded from the services offered. The applicant owns this property and is affiliated with the Kalispell Regional Medical Center. The learning center and sick child day care would share a main entrance/exit and each would have multiple exits at the lower level portion of the building. The parking lot is more than adequate to accommodate the proposed use and the mature landscaping will not be changed as a result of this remodel. D. Existing Lana Use and Zoning. There is a two-story building on the site which has provided for a variety of functions related to the hospital over the years. Currently the Kid Dare Program occupies the upper level of the building and was conditionally permitted in 2005. The kindergarten is temporarily operating from a small portion of the lower level of the building which was granted through an administrative conditional use permit in 2006. The ETA Clinic, a medical use, recently vacated the major portion of the lower level and is part of the area proposed for remodel. As previously mentioned, the property has a zoning designation of H-1, Health. Care, which lists day care centers as a conditionally permitted use. The existing building falls well within the property development standards outlined in the City of Kalispell zoning Ordinance for the H-1 zoning district. E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses zoning: This area is generally part of the medical campus associated with the hospital. All of the surrounding zoning is H--1, Health Care. North: Medical offices, H-1 zoning East: Parking lot and medical offices, H-1 zoning South: Buffalo Hill Terrace senior housing, H--1 zoning West: Church and parking lot, H- 1 zoning F, relation to the Growth Policy: The current Kalispell City Growth Policy Map designates this area as Urban Mixed Use and recognizes the Kalispell Regional Medical Center as an important contribution to the economic diversity and prosperity of the area. Chapter 4, Policy 3 of the Growth Policy, anticipates development at the Kalispell Regional Medical. Center to accommodate a wide range of compatible residential, office, commercial and medical ' uses, which provides the basis for the H--1, Health Care zoning district. Day care centers, schools and churches would be some of the support services anticipated in these areas. Therefore, the proposed project is in compliance with the Growth Policy land use designation.

Adequate Access: Access to the site is provided by way of the existing driveway to the north of the building off of Claremont Street. This driveway services the Kid Kare program operating from the upper level of the building and leads to the lower level parking lot where the Individualized Learning Center and Dinosore programs would be accessed. The driveway is approximately 24 feet wide with a curb, gutter and sidewalk adjoining the roadway. No access or parking modifications are proposed or required to accommodate the proposed change in use. Access is adequate. C. Environmental Constraints: The area is developed and the site slopes down to the west which provides for the split level building design.

The existing parking lot intended to service the lower level portion of the building is more than adequate containing approximately 28 parking spaces. only 13 spaces would be required for the proposed change in use and as such no additional parking would be necessary. The existing parking lot will need to be re -striped and at least one van accessible space (16 feet wide) must be provided. The table below identifies compliance with the aforementioned standards. Number Number off -Street Proposed Use of of Parking Children staff Re uirements Individualized Learning Center 22 students 3 teachers, 1-2 9 spaces (Elementary School) aides Dinosore Program 1 to 12 children 1-2 staff (Day Care Center) (average 2 to 6) (dependent on 4 spaces # of children Total 34 Children 7 Staff 13 Spaces 4 b.

The changes to existing signs shall be in compliance with the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The zoning allows one ground sign of 24 square feet or less with a six --foot height limitation and one wall sign not to exceed 20 square feet per use.

The change in use is not expected to increase impacts to these existing streets. 4. Neighborhood. Impacts: Impacts of the proposal are not anticipated to be dissimilar to other property uses in the immediate neighborhood.

Staff had not received any comments from neighbors on the proposal at the time this report was written. S. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The proposal is compatible with the immediate area, where a mix of uses are anticipated and encouraged. This is in are, area at the edge of the city's residential area and part of the main hospital campus. The zoning is H-1, Health Care, and the growth policy anticipates this kind of development and use in the area. The project will combine the two day care operations and learning center program under one roof to better provide service to the community. 6.
