SUBJECT KCU13-03 — Conditional Use Permit — Munro (casino)
MEETING DATE: July 1, 2013
BACKGROUND: The Kalispell City Planning Board met on June 4, 2013, and held a public
hearing to consider a request by Craig and Debbie Munro for a conditional use permit to allow a
casino in the old Rosco's building located at 1121 Highway 2 West.
The applicants have entered into an agreement to purchase the property, which includes a 3600
square foot retail store built in 2005. The Munro's intend to convert a portion of the building into a
retail liquor store and a portion into a casino with up to 20 machines. The portion related to retail
liquor is considered a retail business use and is permitted in the B-2 (General Business) zone where
the property is located. The casino use requires a conditional use permit.
Under city zoning regulations, casinos (defined as any form of legalized gambling, with a few
exceptions) must be located at least 300 feet away from churches, schools, parks, city residential
zones, and other casinos unless they meet certain requirements outlined in the ordinance and qualify
as an accessory casino. The Munro's retained Morrison-Maierle to provide information regarding
their distance from each of those uses. Morrison-Maierle was able to certify that the property is
located at least 300 feet away from each listed use.
There are two important aspects related to the certification that should be addressed. First, at the time
the application was submitted, a church had recently purchased the old Gateway Cinema site.
However, a church was not currently operating in the facility and therefore the proposal was not
located less than 300 feet of a church within the meaning and intent of the zoning ordinance. Second,
subsequent to a completed application being submitted for this project, an application for an
accessory casino was submitted to the planning office for the old Sizzler site. The key time for the
distance requirement is when a completed application was submitted. Therefore, since the applicants
were more than 300 feet away from another casino at the time of the application, they qualify as a
casino without any special requirements that would otherwise attach as an accessory casino.
This application has been reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. As an existing commercial development, most of the necessary
infrastructure and site development are in place. After review, there were two elements that needed
to be addressed. First, with the change of use of a portion of the building, a net change of one
additional parking space is required due to a higher requirement for restaurants/bars/casinos than for
general retail. Alternatives to physically adding a parking space on the property include an off -site
parking agreement with an adjoining property or providing bicycle racks in lieu of one parking space.
Secondly, there are no sidewalks adjacent to the property, which is the case for most properties in the
general area. The City generally requires sidewalks when projects come up for review and sidewalks
are not present. While the property is not immediately adjacent to a sidewalk, there is a sidewalk just
to the east across Glenwood and an extension would help continue the sidewalk in the area. Public
Works has asked that a condition be attached requiring a sidewalk across the full frontage of the
property. Installation of the sidewalk would need to occur no later than July 31, 2014.
Also, it should be noted that final plans for new signage have not yet been determined, although
current plans are included on a rendering showing the building elevations. The elevation drawing is
included in the application. Signs will need to be submitted to the planning department for review for
compliance with the sign ordinance. Since this application is not for an accessory casino, the zoning
ordinance does not provide for any special limitations on signage.
Two comments were received at the public hearing from representatives of the Gateway Community
Center. They felt that a liquor store and casino at this location would have a negative impact on their
clients. The proposal was forwarded to the Council with a positive recommendation on a 6-1 vote.
Recommended conditions included the additional parking and the sidewalk.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the conditional use permit.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal effect to the City.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.
Respectfully submitted,
PJ Sorensen

A. Summary of Request: The applicants (the Munros) have entered into an agreement to purchase
the property, which currently houses Roscos. Roscos is a 3600 square foot retail store built in
2005. The Munros intend to convert a portion of the building into a retail liquor store and a
portion into a casino with up to 20 machines.
Under city zoning regulations, casinos (defined as any form of legalized gambling, with a few
exceptions) must be located at least 300 feet away from churches, schools, parks, city residential
zones, and other casinos unless they meet certain requirements outlined in the ordinance and
qualify as an accessory casino. The Munros retained Morrison-Maierle to provide information
regarding their distance from each of those uses. Morrison-Maierle was able to certify that the
property is located at least 300 feet away from each listed use.
Figure 2: Certification
There are two important aspects related to the certification that should be addressed. First, at the time
the application was submitted, a church had recently purchased the old Gateway Cinema site (shown
above as "Owner: The River, Inc"). However, a church was not currently operating in the facility
and therefore the proposal was not located less than 300 feet of a church within the meaning and
intent of the zoning ordinance. Second, subsequent to a completed application being submitted for
this project, an application for an accessory casino was submitted to the planning office for the old
Sizzler site shown above. The key time for the distance requirement is when a completed application
was submitted. Therefore, since the applicants were more than 300 feet away from another casino at
the time of the application, they qualify as a casino without any special requirements that would
otherwise attach as an accessory casino.
B. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The site is zoned B-2 (General Business). It contains a
commercial building with a retail use.

C. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The immediate area is characterized by a mix of commercial
development. North of the site is the old Gateway West Mall, which contains primarily offices with
some retail use. Surrounding the property is a mix of restaurants, hotels, offices, and retail uses.

D. Relation to the Growth Policy: The Kalispell City Growth Policy Map designates the project site as
Commercial, which provides the basis for the B-2 zoning designation. The growth policy map lists
uses such as retail, offices, services, and mixed -use developments as appropriate land uses in the
Commercial land use designation. The requested conditional use permit to use the property for a
casino is an appropriate land use for the property.

EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST
This application has been reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance.
1. Site Suitability:
a. Adequate Useable Space: The property is approximately .86 acres in size and contains an
existing 3600 square foot retail building. The lot also contains an existing parking lot that
provides parking for the building. With the change of use of a portion of the building, a net
change of one additional parking space is required due to a higher requirement for
restaurants/bars/casinos than for general retail. Alternatives to physically adding a parking
space on the property include an off -site parking agreement with an adjoining property or
providing bicycle racks in lieu of one parking space.
b. Adequate Access: Existing accesses to the property are generally from Highway 2. The
property can be approached from the west via the common access to the old Gateway West
property or from the east off of Glenwood Drive, which also crosses the Gateway West
property. There is adequate access to serve the building.
C. Environmental Constraints: There are no obvious environmental constraints apparent on the
property which could affect the proposed use. There is floodplain on the property, but a
conditional letter of map revision based on fill was obtained through FEMA showing a
determination that the building itself is outside of the floodplain.
d. Height, bulk and location of the building_ The existing building is a single story building
containing 3600 square feet, located approximately 20 feet off of the highway right-of-way.
Overall building height is approximately 19 feet.
2. Appropriate Design:
a. Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: In conjunction with the building permit issued for the
property in 2005, the parking lot was reviewed and approved for a retail development. With
the addition of one required parking space, it would meet the requirements of the zoning
ordinance and is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use.
b. Traffic Circulation: The existing accesses from the highway and Glenwood Drive provide
sufficient access for the property.
C. Open Space: Specific open space is not required for this use in this zone, but the majority of
the lot excluding the building is occupied with parking areas and landscaping.
d. Fencing/Screening,/Landscaping: As an existing developed property, the landscaping on the
property is already established. Landscaping consists primarily of grass. A limited amount of
chained -link fencing currently on the property will be removed.
e. Sig_nage: Final plans for new signage have not yet been determined, although current plans
are included on a rendering showing the building elevations. The elevation drawing is
included in the application. Signs will need to be submitted to the planning department for
review for compliance with the sign ordinance.
f. Lighting: Section 27.26.030 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor
lighting on commercial or residential structures. No new exterior lighting is planned in
conjunction with the proposed use.
3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities:
a. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District #5. No impact is anticipated
with the proposed use.
b. Parks and Recreation: There should be no significant increase in demand on the parks and
recreation programs and facilities as a result of this use.
C. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual
impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed use.
d. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. There is
an existing fire hydrant to the west of the building near the access to the highway. The
building currently does not have a fire sprinkler system, although it is possible one may be
required as part of the building and fire code review process.
e. Water: City water currently serves the property and there is sufficient capacity within this
water main to serve the proposed use. No significant change in the impact on water services
can be anticipated as a result of this use.
f. Sewer: Sewer service is currently provided by the city through a main extension to the
building completed in 2005.
g. Storm Water Drainage: The site has an existing parking lot and building which were
reviewed by the Public Works Department for adequate drainage in 2005.
h. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up is provided by the City.
i. Streets: The primary street frontage and access is Highway 2, located on the south side of the
property. Glenwood Drive is located to the east of the property and intersects with the
highway.
Sidewalks: There are no sidewalks adjacent to the property, which is the case for most
properties in the general area. The City generally requires sidewalks when projects come up
for review and sidewalks are not present. While the property is not immediately adjacent to a
sidewalk, there is a sidewalk just to the east across Glenwood and an extension would help
continue the sidewalk in the area. Public Works has asked that a condition be attached
requiring a sidewalk across the full frontage of the property. Installation of the sidewalk
would need to occur no later than July 31, 2014.
M
4. Neighborhood impacts: The site is located in a well -established commercial area. Its impact on
neighboring properties is anticipated to be consistent with other uses in the area, which include retail,
offices, restaurants, and other similar businesses. Many of those businesses also operate with both
daytime and nighttime hours, and the impact would be similar to what would normally be expected in
an area with nightlife available.
5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: This area has historically
included a mix retail commercial uses, and the proposed use would continue that pattern.
6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the planning board adopt staff report #KCU-13-03 as findings of fact and
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Conditional Use Permit be approved subject to the
following conditions:
That commencement of the approved activity must begin within 18 months from the date of
authorization or that a continuous good faith effort is made to bring the project to completion.
2. The building permit submittal shall substantially comply with the approved plan.
One additional parking space shall be provided by (a) installing an additional space; (b) entering into
an off -site parking agreement; or (c) installing a bike rack, which can be provided in -lieu of a vehicle
parking space.
4. A sidewalk shall be installed along the full frontage of the property along Highway 2 no later than
July 31, 2014. Plans for the sidewalk shall be submitted to Public Works for review and construction
shall be completed to Public Works design standards.

Re: Proposed Casino/Liquor Store
Dear Mrs. Munro:
77
SAY 0 3 2013
I have reviewed the site for the proposed casino/liquor store located at 1121 US
Highway 2 West as well as the surrounding properties for compliance with Kalispell
Municipal Code 27.34.040 (1). The referenced code states:
(1) Casinos shall be a minimum of 300 feet from churches, schools, parks, city
residential zones, and other casinos, measured from property line to property
line.
Please see Exhibit 1 attached. The proposed site appears to be in compliance with this
code. There is a property located less than 300 feet to the northwest of the proposed
site that is owned by a church group, The River Inc. However, there is no church on the
property at this time. It is my understanding that you have consulted with the City of
Kalispell on this issue and have been advised that you would currently be in compliance
with the municipal code stated above should you move forward with the proposed
project. I would advise you to request a written opinion from the City of Kalispell
Planning Department to this effect if you haven't already done so.
No other surrounding properties conflict with the requirements of Kalispell Municipal
Code 27.34.040 (1).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at (406) 751-5871.
Sincerely,
Ryan C.-Jones, P.E.
