SC 4 SEVENTH DAY ADV ENTIST CHURCH KA.LISPELL PIANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT KCU-07-5 SEPTEMBER. S. 2007 A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Kalispell City Council regarding a request by the seventh Day Adventist Church for a conditional use permit to allow the expansion of their existing Community service Center building in an R-3, Urban single -Family Residential, zoning district. A public hearing on this matter has been scheduled before the planning board for September 11, 2007, 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. BACKGROUND INFORMATION A. Petitioner: seventh Day Adventist Church,. 494 9thAvenue EN Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 253--0451 B. Size and Location: The site is located approximately one block north of Oregon Street. The entire parcel contains approximately 14,200 square feet. The property can be described as the North 100 feet of the East 142 feet of Lot 1, Block 1 Northeast Addition in section S, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Nature of Request: The applicants are requesting a conditional use permit to alloy -three 8' 40' steel storage containers which would be located to the vest of the ��isting ?,? � square foot building. This is a non --conforming use, and as such, a Page 1 o1 8 conditional use permit is required to allow up to a 50% expansion. This building is used as a community service building for the distribution of donated items. The building currently has one 9'x 1 2' detached storage shed and a 9'x33' storage shed attached to the buildings north wall. The requested containers would replace these existing storage areas and allow the center to store more donated materials and free up existing space within the building. The Seventh Day Adventist Church applied for and received a conditional use permit (KCU-05-7) to expand the existing community service building in September of 2005. At that time the church sought and received approval to expand the building by approximately 1,100 square feet. The addition was proposed on the crest side of the current building. However the expansion plans have stalled because the fire code requires a nunnnum of 1,500 gallons per minute of flow from the hydrant serving this end of the street. This hydrant, located approximately 50 feet north of the property on the crest side of the street, currently provides 975± gallons per minute. In order to obtain 1,500 gallons per minute from this hydrant the church would have to upgrade and/or loop the water lines from SthAvenue EN to the existing hydrant. This upgrade has made it cost prohibitive to continue with the original expansion plans. The proposed storage containers would allow the additional storage needed on -site without the need to upgrade the fire flow from the existing hydrant. A further discussion of the Fire Department's recommendation on the storage containers can be found under section H.3 . d of this report. D. Existing Land Use and Zoning: There is an existing building on the property, which has a total square footage of approximately 2,233 square feet. The history of this building is unclear, but it has operated for many years as a community service center, and is a non -conforming use. As such, they are applying for a permit to expand a non -conforming use. The current zoning on the property is R- 3, Urban Single -Family Residential. E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: All of the properties in the immediate area are residentially zoned with the general character of the area being residential. To the northwest, property is zoned R-4 (Two --Family Residential) in Flathead County. North: Single family residential and some undeveloped lots, city R-4 zoning South: Single family residential, city R-3 zoning East: Single family residential, City R-3 zoning West: Shining Mountain Church, City R 3 zoning F. Growth Policy Designation. The Kalispell City Growth Policy Map designates this area as `urban residential". The plan itself anticipates the need for semi. -public services such as schools and services within residential districts. This proposal can be found to be in substantial compliance with the growth policy. G.

Electric: Flathead Electric Cooperative (underground) Phone: CenturyTel (underground) Police: City of Kalispell Fire: Kalispell Fire Department Schools: School District #5, Kalispell Evaluation of the Request. Site Suitability: a.. Adequate Useable Space: The property owned by the church contains approximately .33 acres, 23% of which would be developed with buildings. The remainder of the parcel would be parking and landscaping. There appears to be adequate usable space on the property to accommodate the proposed expansion. b. Ade uate Access: There is one approach to the site from 9th Avenue EN. No new accesses are proposed or necessary in connection with the proposed expansion.. C. Environmental constraints: The site is flat and level. The remaining areas around the building provide adequate space for required setbacks. There are no obvious environmental constraints associated with this property. appropriate Deslm: a. Parkin Scheme: currently the parking spaces are unpaved. According to the Kalispell Zoning ordinance, parking for a retail business is based upon the gross floor area of 1 space per 200 square feet. At 2,233 square feet the parking requirement would be 12 spaces. The attached site plan shovers 20 spaces, which is more than adequate. Upon reviewing the parking lot layout the parking plan will need to be revised to address several issues in the Kalispell Zoning ordinance. Specifically, section 27.26.030 (2) (d) prohibits parking spaces within, the front yard setback except for parking associated with a single family residence. The parking lot plan shows a handicap parking space on the east side of the building between the building and 9th Avenue EN, within the required 20--foot front yard setback. This space will need to be removed. In addition, section 27.26.030(6)(c) requires a visual relief screen when a parking lot is bordering or adjacent to a residential zone. The parking spaces on the south side of the parking lot plan are adjacent to an existing residence in an R-3 zoning district. The owners have indicated that they will be planting a hedge along this border to comply with this section of the code. Prior to issuance of a foundation permit for the storage containers a recommended condition of approval would require the owners to reJ71se the parking lot plan to meet the requirements for parking lots in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.

The current parking lot is unpaved. The owners have stated that they intend to pave the parking lot upon completion of the installation of the storage containers. Paving of the parking lot complies with section 27.26.030(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and will be added as a recommended condition of approval. b. Traffic circulation: Peak times for traffic entering and leaving the facility are Tuesdays, the only day the facility is open. Traffic enters the site from the main access to the east of of 9th Avenue EN. Based on discussions with the managers of the center, the center may have as many as 80-100 families visiting the center on Tuesday. C. 0-pen Space: No specific open space requirements are applicable to this use other than those associated with the required setbacks, which have been adequately observed on the site plan. Because of the size of the parcel, there is not a significant amount of space on the site that is undeveloped. d. Fencm' Screening/ Landsca in. : Limited landscaping has been placed around the building, however the storage containers are proposed on the west side of the building, using the building to shield the containers from public view- along 9fh Avenue EN. It should be noted that the property immediately north does have existing vegetation to screen the containers however, should the existing vegetation die off or the owner remove the vegetation, no visual screening would be zn place between the storage containers and the property boundary. Dage4of13 Planning staff would recommend landscaping, such as bushes or hedges, and/or fencing be installed along the western and northern property boundary in the vicinity of the storage containers to screen the containers from the property to the merest and north. Final designs on the screening would be reviewed and approved by the city's architectural review committee. e. i awe. There is an existing identification sign on the building that appears to be in compliance with city codes. Under the current regulations, non -- dwelling uses in residential zones can have a non -illuminated sign not to exceed 20 square feet per face. No additional signage has been proposed in conjunction with the proposed expansion. f. Building Height and Des M: An attached picture of the proposed storage containers indicates the containers are 9' in height and, as previously mentioned, are 8' wide and 40' long. The containers would be placed to the merest of the existing building which would provide screening of the containers from 9th Avenue EN. Starting in 2006 the city requires all accessory buildings to a non-residential use to be reviewed and approved by the city's architectural review committee. As a recommended condition of approval the owners will need to obtain the committee's approval on the storage containers and the landscaping and/or fencing plan to screen the containers from neighboring properties. Page.5 of 3 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Schools: This building is within the boundaries of School District #5. No impact on the school district can be anticipated as a result of the proposed expansion. b. Parks and Recreation: No apparent impacts to the Kalispell Parks and Recreation. Department appear to be associated with the proposed expansion. C. 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 expansion. d. Fire Protection: Fire protection is currently provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. Given the size of the site, fire access is not a problem. 'There are currently fire hydrants along 9th Avenue EN, the closest hydrant approximately 50 feet north of the project site. However, fire flows for the hydrant closest to the site are approximately 975 gallons per minute. The existing community service center is classified as a retail use and therefore requires a minimum. fire flow of 1,500 gallons per minute from hydrants servicing the property. As mentioned in section C of this report, the church.'s previous approvals for expansion did not materialize due to the insufficient fire flows in the area. After reviewing the application the Fire Department would prefer that adequate fire flows be provided for the project. However, given the non- combustible nature of the storage containers, the Fire Department will allow placement of the storage containers under the following conditions: ■ No shipping containers be closer than 20 feet to a building. • Shipping containers must maintain a minimum im um distance of 10 feet from any property line. • Shipping containers must be separated from each other by 10 feet. • The containers will not contain any sources of ignition, including electricity. • Storage inside the shipping containers will be orderly and in accordance with the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition. • Any storage of flammable and combustible liquids inside the shipping containers shall be in accordance with the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition. The above recommendations from. the Fire Department have been included in the conditions of approval. e. water: City water currently serves the building and no significant impact on water servrices provided by the City can be anticipated as a result of this "L lu. lion . Page 6 of 8 f. Sewer: Sewer service is currently provided by the City of Kalispell. No significant impacts on City serer services can be anticipated as a result of the proposed expansion. g. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up is currently provided by the City and no significant increased impacts can be anticipated as a result of the proposed expansion. h. Roads: Currently, access is provided by way of 9thAvenue EN and there are no known circulation or access problems in the area associated with the use. 9 to Avenue EN is not a through street and ends just north of this site. i, Immediate Neighborhood Impact: The general character of this neighborhood is residential. The expansion will occur in the rear yard behind the existing building and thus be generally blocked from neighborhood view. The recommended landscaping and/or fencing on the north and west sides of the containers will provide screening to neighboring properties. By providing the storage containers the managers running the center have stated that the existing 9'x 1 2' storage shed will be removed as well as the existing storage along the north side of the building. This will be added as a recommended condition of approval. The proposed expansion wild. not have a significant impact to the neighborhood and will not adversely affect property values in the area. RECOMMENDATION it is recommended that the Kalispell city Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-07-5 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City council that the conditional use permit be granted subject to the following conditions: 1. That the proposal will be developed in substantial conformance with the approved site plan. 2. That the conditional use permit is valid for a period of 18 months from the date of authorization.. 3. The driveway and parking lot shall be paved within 6 months of 'installation of the storage containers and in accordance with the approved site plan. 4. The existing 9'x 1 2' storage shed as well as the existing storage along the north side of the building shall be removed upon installation of the storage containers. S. The storage containers shall be placed on permanent foundations. A foundation permit shall be obtained from the Building Department prior to construction. The owner shall also provide the Building Department the locking mechanisms for the storage containers for the Department's review. 0.

Prior to issuance of a foundation permit from the Building Department the following shall occur: a. The containers shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Architectural Review Committee. As part of the application materials submitted to the committee the applicant shall include a landscaping and/or fencing plan to screen the containers from properties to the north and west. b. A revised scaled site plan shall be submitted which shows the property boundaries and the existing building, storage containers, parking lot layout and associated landscaping for the parking lot.

N. Request Kalispell city Planning Department Board and Zoning Commission September 2, 2007 To all Members of the Kalispell City Planning Department After calling your office, we were asked to write our comments regarding the request of the Seventh Day Adventist church for a conditional use permit to allow for the addition of three steel storage containers on the property at 494 9th Avenue East North. We have no problem with this request. The church's community service center has operated out of its present location for as long as we can remember and to our knowledge, there has never been a problem. They have had external donation containers which have been more than inadequate, too often full and running over. The added storage will definitely be to the center's advantage. As a neighbor, we have seen frequent trips to the present storage area by neighborhood children (and some adults) who rifle through the contents and help themselves to whatever they want. These donations are intended by those who donate to be used to help people. We feel that having this additional storage for the church will eliminate this wrongful taking of donated property by these children and others that are not authorized to do so. The Church has been a very good neighbor throughout the years. We encourage your vote for the approval of this request. Thank you for the opportunity to speak out for this worthy organization. Sincerely, Clara Ellen Anderson Sue Ellyn Anderson 9I4/2007 TO: Sean Conrad, Senior Planner, Kalispell Planning Department FROM; F. Ray Ruffatto, Deputy Fire Marshal DATE: September 5, 2007 RE: Seventh Day Adventist Church project As follow-up to our discussions of the last several weeks regarding the seventh Day Adventist Church's desire to utilize shipping containers to Increase storage space for their community Service Center, I provide the following information. Fire flow remains an issue, and although provided with options to meet the intent of providing adequate fire flow, the Seventh Day Adventist organization appears to continue their resistance to exercising any of the options they have been previously provided. Although the Fire Department would prefer that adequate fire flows be provided, given the non --combustible nature of the storage containers, the Fire Department will allow placement of the storage containers under the following conditions: I . No shipping container may be closer than 20 feet to a building. 2. Shipping containers must maintain a minimum distance of 10 feet from any property fine. I Shipping containers must be separated from each other by 10 feet. 4. The containers will not contain any sources of ignition, including electricity. 5. Storage inside the shipping containers will be orderly and in accordance with the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition. 0. Any storage of flammable and combustible liquids inside the shipping containers shall be in accordance with the International Fire Code, 2006 Edition. These conditions are a reasonable compromise due to the lack of available fire flow for the Seventh Day Adventist Community Service Center to increase the size of their operation. Please contact me directly if you have questions. Thank you. xc: Randy Brodehl, Fire Chief GC Haas, Asst.
