REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner
James H. Patrick, City Manager
SUBJECT Hutton Ranch Plaza Subdivision
MEETING DATE: July 5, 2005
BACKGROUND: This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a 26 lot commercial
subdivision on approximately 46 acres that was filed with an application for
annexation and initial zoning of B-2 / PUD known as Hutton Ranch Plaza. The
property is located on the east side of US Highway 93 south of the Mountain. View
Plaza development and north of Flathead Valley Community College. The site
includes approximately 21 acres of land owned by both the Hutton Ranch Plaza
Associates and 25 acres owned by Flathead Valley Community College who are
working on a land exchange that would make Hutton Ranch Plaza Associates the sole
owner of the site.
An internal access road will be developed that will align with the southern access to
the Spring Prairie site near the center of the property. This would be developed as a
City street and constructed to City standards. The developers of this project as well
as Costco are anticipating this will be a signalized intersection which will be subject
to MDOT approval and installed at the developers expense. There are two additional
accesses to the site that will be located to the north and south of the main access that
will be right in and right out only.
The project is anticipated to be developed in two phases with Phase 1 being the area
that would be north of the main access road which would begin immediately upon
approval of the PUD and preliminary plat. The main access road would be completed
during the first phase. It is anticipated that construction on the buildings in Phase 1
would start in the Spring of 2006. Phase 2 improvements would be south of the main
access road and construction in this area may be dependent on the completion of
Phase 1 or the identification and commitment from additional tenants. The developers
plan on a developing approximately 450,000 square feet of mixed retail, restaurants
and specialty stores; a 16 screen movie theatre and perhaps a hotel. There is a
commitment to developing a high quality project that will have good architectural
integrity, substantial landscaping, pedestrian access, good site circulation and
desirable tenants.
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on June 14, 2005 and held a public hearing to
consider this proposal. The staff noted that the developers were not requesting any
variances with the PUD but rather wanted to provide the public and City with
information regarding the proposal and assurances that the project would be of high

quality and consistent with the type of development that would be anticipated in this
highly visible entrance corridor. The planning board noted the application was very
thorough and answered almost every question.
During the public hearing the applicants explained their proposal, the enthusiasm
about being in the Valley and their commitment to a good project. The engineers
explained the status of the proposed signal and the MDOT review process. There was
no one who spoke in opposition to the project.
The board discussed the proposal and the planning board agreed this was a very good
project and it would be complementary to other development in the area. A motion
was made to recommend to Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat be
approved subject to the recommended conditions associated with the plat and the
planned unit development, which passed on a unanimous vote.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the resolution approving the preliminary
plat subject to conditions would be in order.

B. Location: This property is located on the west side of US Highway 93, north of
Four Mile Drive and directly west of the proposed Costco site in Spring Prairie
Planned Unit Development. The lot would be adjacent to Costco to the west and
Kalispell Youth Athletic Complex to the south. The property is generally
described as a portion of Assessor's Tract 5 in Section 36, Township 29 North,
Range 22 West, PMM Flathead County, Montana.
C. Size: Total area: 46.05 acres
Area in Lots: 34.22 acres
Area in Roads: 1.87 acres
Common Area: 9.97 acres
D. Nature of the Request: This is a request for preliminary plat approval of a 26 lot
commercial subdivision intended primarily for retail development. A request for
annexation with an initial zoning designation of B-2 / PUD, a General Business
zoning district with a planned unit development overlay has been filed
concurrently with the preliminary plat application. The companion staff report
KA-05-10 / KPUD-05-5 details the PUD proposal and zoning issues. In essence,
the developers have acquired approximately 46 acres for commercial development
that is proposed for approximately 450,000 square feet of mixed retail,
restaurants and specialty stores; a 16 screen movie theatre and perhaps a hotel.
An internal access road will be developed that will align with the southern access
to the Spring Prairie site near the center of the property. This would be developed
as a City street and constructed to City stazadards. The developers of this project
as well as Costco are anticipating this will be a signalized intersection which will
be subject to MDOT approval and installed at the developers expense. There are
two additional accesses to the site that will be located to the north and south of
the main access that will be right in and right out only.
The project is anticipated to be developed in two phases with Phase I being the
area that would be north of the main access road which would beL-in immediately
upon approval of the PUD and preliminary plat. The main access road would be
completed during the first phase. It is anticipated that construction on the
buildings in Phase 1 would start in the spring of 2006. Phase 2 improvements
would be south of the main access road and construction in this area may be
dependent on the completion of Phase I or the identification and commitment
from additional tenants.
E. Existing Land Use: This property is currently undeveloped and has been used
for agricultural purposes in the past.
F. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The general land use character of this area is
a mix of commercial, agricultural, public and residential. It lies in an expanding
area between the rural and urban areas of north Kalispell.
North: Commercial development -- Mtn View Plaza, City B-2 / PUD zoning
South: Agricultural and FVCC, County SAG-10 and R- I zoning
East: Agricultural and Stillwater River, County SAG-10 zoning
West: Spring Prairie Development, DNRC property, City B-5 / PUD
zoning
G. Zoning: The site is currently under agricultural production and is in the County
zoning jurisdiction. The County zoning for this property is SAG-10, a Suburban
Agricultural zoning designation that has a ten acre minimum lot size requirement
for newly created lots and anticipates limited agricultural uses.
H. Relation to Growth Policy Map: The Kalispell City Growth Policy 2020
designates this property as Urban Mixed Use and Public. The proposed zoning is
consistent with the type of development anticipated for this area and the growth
policy in general.

REVIEW AND FINDINGS OF FACT
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with State statutory
review criteria and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
F+irr- - Tht- rnnctriirrtinn of a new fire ctatinn urill hesrin in the. cttmmPr of 9.nn.r;
vv_ _ _ ___.. _ -__ _ --- _ _ _ _ v
which will be located on the opposite side of the street behind Costco and using
the same intersection / access as the Hutton Ranch Plaza development. All of
the infrastructure within the development will be constructed to City
standards. The building will be constructed in accordance -with the
International Building Code that the City of Kalispell has adopted. The site will
have good access and will be at generally low risk of fire. The timing of this
development and the new fire station will likely dovetail nicely.
Floodi : According to the Kalispell FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) Map, this
area is not located in the 100 year floodplain nor does it have high ground
water that would lead to flooding.
Roads: Traffic is proposed to be handled by having three accesses onto
Highway 93 with a signalized intersection at the center entrance. The Montana
Department of Transportation will have to review and approve the accesses as
well as the proposed signalization of the intersection. A full traffic analysis has
been submitted with the PUD application that assesses the impacts to the
system. The State will need to complete a review of the traffic impact study
and site plan for the project. The MDOT expects all traffic impacts would be
identified and there would be a commitment to mitigation prior to permitting.
Comments from the Montana Department of Transportation regarding the
proposal have not been received. However, it can be anticipated that the
project will go through the systems impact review process to assess impacts to
all roads in the area, identify and complete mitigation. Mitigation identified by
the traffic impact study and required by MDOT will be at the sole cost of the
developer/property owner and not to the general public. Any encroachments
or landscaping within state highway right-of-way will require encroachment
permits from MDOT. Due to the proposed size of commercial development and
future traffic impacts, MDOT's Transportation. Planning Division will coordinate
internal review through its System Impact Review Process via the Helena
Headquarters office. This must be done and completed prior to any approach
permits being issued from the Kalispell Area Office. Although not a direct
impact on the transportation system, drainage and utility infrastructure are a
concern and would be identified in the evaluation process in detail.
B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat:
The site is not mapped within any big game winter range and does not provide
significant habitat to wildlife and does not host any significant or endangered
wildlife.
C. Effects on the Natural Environment:
There are no significant environmental factors that would pose an impact on
the natural environment of the area.
D. Effects an Local Services:
Sewer and Water: City of Kalispell water and sewer were taken to this area as
part of the development of Mountain View Plaza and are in the Hwy 93 right of
way. They will be extended to the site and taken to the eastern boundary of the
property to allow for further extension should this property be developed in the
future. Adequate capacities exist to serve proposed development.
Stormwater_man_age_m.ent: Stormwater management will be accomplished with
on site retention of stormwater run off. An engineered drainage plan will be
developed by Morrison-Maierle as part of the engineering for this development.
Three are several options available to the developer in managing storm water,
but at this time they are considering an interim above ground retention area in
the area of Phase 2 that would be gathered from the parking lots to the north
with and underground system. When Phase 2 develops, the stormwater
retention area would be placed underground.
Roads: The development is proposed to be served from three accesses from.
Highway 93. Primary access will be from a controlled intersection near the
center of the site where a traffic signal is proposed to serve the Costco site as
well. The northernmost access along Highway 93 will be a right turn in and
out only. The access located at the south end of the property along Highway 93
would function as a through access within the development. Highway 93 is
maintained by the Montana Department of Transportation. Highway 93 has
been upgraded to four lanes with a center turn lane. Highway 93 is in good
condition.
The primary access to the site is near the center of the development and
provides a channel for the traffic entering the site. This roadway will be a City
street and extended to the eastern boundary of the property to allow for a
continuation of the road for the possible development of the property to the
east. A full traffic analysis assessing the impacts of this development has been
included in the PUD application and will require review and approval by the
City and Montana Department of Transportation with regard to mitigation and
access.
Schools: This subdivision is within the boundaries of School District #5.
Because of its commercial nature it will not generate school children. Taxes
generated from the project will benefit the school district.
Parks: This subdivision is not subject to the parkland dedication requirements
because it is a commercial subdivision as outlined in the Kalispell Subdivision
Regulations and as under State Statute.
Police Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Police
Department. According to the Kalispell Police Department, they will be able to
adequately serve this area.
Fire Protection: This development will be served by the Kalispell Fire
Department that will be located directly across the highway from this project
site. The timing of the construction of this project and the fire station should
be nearly concurrent so the fire protection from the new fire station will be in
place once this development reaches full build out or sooner.
Refuse Disposal: The subdivision will be served by a private hauler for solid
waste disposal as provided for under the state statutes that addresses solid
waste provisions. Adequate space at the County landfill is available for the
solid waste which will be generated by the subdivision.
Medical Services: Kalispell Regional Hospital is approximately two miles from
the site. Ambulance services are available to serve this subdivision and access
is good.
E. Effects on Agriculture and Agricultural Water Users Facilities: This
property is undergoing a conversion from agricultural to urban scale and density
development. Because of its proximity to services and other commercial
development, the proposed use is appropriate. The conversion of this property
from agricultural to a commercial center will not have a significant affect on
agriculture or agricultural water users facilities.
F. Compliance with the Growth Policy: This property is included the Kalispell

Kalispell City Planning Board
c/o Tri-City Planning Office
17 2"d Street East, Suite 211
Kalispell, MT 59901
Dear Planning Board Members:
I am writing to voice opposition to the applications for Hutton Ranch Plaza that you will
be considering tonight. These applications are summarized in Staff Reports KA-05-101 KPUD-
05-5 and Subdivision Report #KPP-05-12. I respectfully request that you recommend to the City
of Kalispell that these applications be denied.
Subdivision flows from zoning and zoning flows from planning. The zoning and
subdivision requested by the applicant is not consistent with Kalispell's Growth Policy. Despite
the representation in Staff Reports KA-05-10 / KPUD-05-5 that the proposed zoning is
consistent with the city growth policy, a review of Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 shows that the
zone change is not consistent with it.
Attached to this letter is a copy of the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map
which shows that the subject property has been planned as an Urban Mixed Use Area and Public
land. The growth policy provides that these future land use designations are applicable when a
property is proposed for annexation. The future land use trap is a "primary" component of
Kalispell's growth policy —it cannot be ignored. (Kalispell Growth Policy 2020, page 3) The
future land use map "is a geographic illustration of the plan's goals and policies applied to the
lands in the growth policy." (Kalispell Growth Policy 2020, page 4). In other words, the map
provides a snapshot of what the text of the growth policy is describing. It further provides on the
same page that the "map indicates the types of land uses recommended in various locations,
representing the recommendation of an orderly growth pattern." According to these provisions,
the current plan designations of Urban Mixed Use and Public represent "an orderly growth
pattern," meaning that zoning other than mixed use and public would be "disorderly." The
proposal to change the zoning to B-2 Commercial is inconsistent with the growth policy map
designation and the growth policy.
The growth policy further provides on page 61 that "inside the city of Kalispell, zoning
should be based upon the land use designation of the growth policy rnap." Since this property is
being annexed to the city, the initial zoning placed on the property needs to be rased upon the
land use designations shown on the attached trap. B-2 Commercial is not consistent with either
a ,mixed use or public land use designation as shown on the future land use map. The growth
policy provides a "Zoning Regulations Implementation Strategy" on pages 64 and 61, which
provides that the City is to "develop a use district to further define the uses anticipated in the
Mixed Use Areas designated on the growth policy map so that the appropriate zoning can be
applied." I am not aware that the City has developed this mixed use zoning district; if it has,
then that is the zoning district that should be applied to the subject property, not the current
request for B-2 zoning.
The current plan designation of Urban Mixed Use allows for "limited" commercial
development —the over 400,000 square feet of commercial space proposed by this plan is far
from "limited" and is not an appropriate use of the subject property. The Land Use: Business
and Industry policies in the growth policy on page 18 provide that highway Urban Mixed -Use
Areas are to provide "an alternative to continued linear commercial development." The
expansion of B-2 zoning south of Target and onto a large piece of publicly zoned land constitutes
"continued linear commercial development" along U.S. Highway 93, the very type of sprawl
development that Urban Mixed -Use Areas are intended to prevent.
On page 7 of the growth policy, it is recommended that developers and the City "use the
general growth policy amendment process to address large scale and I or complex projects that
have not been anticipated in the growth policy." The proposed project, at the proposed location,
has not been anticipated in the growth policy, as evidenced by the land use designations on the
future land use map. if such a project has been anticipated, then it has been anticipated for areas
such as Section 36, other "Target Development Areas" as described in the growth policy, or the
other areas that have already been designated for commercial development,
t t 1 R
The general growth policy amendment process as described on pages 64 and 63 of the
growth policy must be followed before the zone change and subdivision can be considered —
employment of any other process to deal with the proposed project is illegal and against the letter
and spirit of Kalispell's growth policy. The general growth policy amendment section states that
"if there is a zone change that can be anticipated as part of the development proposal, the
[growth policy] amendment shall be acted on by the city council to accept, revise or reject prior
to the initiation of change in zoning."
The growth policies adopted by the governing bodies within Flathead County are
important documents and the public interest is best protected if those growth policies are
followed. The Planning Board and City Council will clearly be violation the Kalispell growth
policy by adopting the zone change and subdivision requests currently before you without first
properly amending the growth policy. The landowner, developer, taxpayers, and residents of
Kalispell and Flathead County are better off if you follow the rules.
