vi,a. Rocky cif Drive and Snowline Drive.
I. Availability of PubUc Sakes: City water are.d sewer are located approximately
two pies to the now of this property at the Four Corners area. it is the Mte t o
the developer to exterg.d water and serer to this site, execute a development
agreement with the City of Kahspefl to allow for the reimbursement ent of costs
associated ith the utility extension and the City would create an industrial tax
increment finance district to assist in the installation of pubhc infrastructure in

J. Additional background infor a I : Please see the attached memorandum
.
from James H. Patrick, Kalispell City Manager to the Kalispell city Council dated
Jamie , 2005. This memo outlines the strategy for annexing and dove .o � this
property. Also M'cluded as are attachment is a. copy of the County resolution
approving the preliminary plait for Oil. School Station and the preminary plait
layout.
.EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY TUTORY CRITERU
The statutory basis for reviewing a. charge in zoning is set Forth by 76-2.2 5, M.C.A.
Findings of fact for the zone charge request are discussed relative to the itemized
criteria describe. by-2-203, M.C.A.
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Does the re este i zone cow with the Growth Policylp
This property is outside the boundary of the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020,
future land use map and potential utility service area. The County master plan
as amended by the applicants is designated as industrial. The Proposed zoning
does not comply with the groom policy for Kalispell becaiise it is not within the
boundaries that are anticipated ated to be served or developed, with City services.
2. Is the re nested zone designed to lessen con estion in the streets?
The current zoning is County i- 1, Light Industrial, which is an intense
commercial and stria) zonmg designation which allows the uses not only
Paue 2
a-n-tici a ed to be found in alight industrial area but also the uses that are
found within the general business district zoning. The County and City zoning
designations of 1- , Light Industrial, Crary considerably since the City light
industrial zoning hits the uses in - l to those industrial type uses and
discourages uses of a general commercial nature. The proposed 1-1 zoning
ing
would likely be less intensive within the City than it would in the County. The
City I-1 zoning does not cater to those specific uses for which the developers
have intended to use their property. City B-5 zoning an Industrial
Commercial zoning designation more closely resembles the current County 1-1
designation for the site.
3. Will t ie re nested. zone secure safely,from fire anic and other dangers?,
.s this property develops, the City would need to work with the developer to
insure that there is services and facilities that provide safety from fire, panic
and other dangers associated with the provision of public semces and utilities.
t Will the requested zone omote the health and general welfare
Because this annexation will enable the property owners to connect to public
sewer and develop this property u4th full public services, the public health and
welfare of the community vvill be served.
. Will t ere nested zone rovide for adequate light and air
The proposed fight industrial zoning designation and a .o red. uses would be
subject to the development standards of the zoning which help to insure that
there is adequate light and air by using uildm* g height restrictions and
setbacks as well as landscaping and parking requirements. ents. Conditionally
permitted. uses that might be allowed will have special conditions required for
the development.
. Will the requested zone r vent the overcrowding of land
The requested zoning designation is generally consistent with other 1-1 zonm* g
in the area and will continue an industrial pattem that is already established
along the v�T 93 corridor. However, the B -5 is a closer match to the County I-
since the County I-1 allows a. broad range of commercial and industrial uses.
With adequate services including upgraded roads, public sewer and water, the
development standards may address overcrowding g concerns.
7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of people.
Designating these properties for commercial industrial development will allow
for the expansion of commercial, light industrial and storage activities. The lot
size requirements ents and the provision of municipal services scare to reduce
congestion and crowding. The property will likely be developed more it t :nsiy
�ti �� utilities and services than would oter�se e allowed �e for tr
but it is unlikely that it would result in the undue concentration of people.
Page
8. Will the......ENuested zone facilitate the adequate rovis on of trans ortatio
water seweraM, schools, parks., and. other.Rublic requirements?
Public service, Facilities and infrastructure are intended to be provided to the
property and ro id be extended at the applicant's expense. Impacts to these
services can be currently assessed as a result of this zoning proposal and
previous annexation of the property by the city council.
. Does the reouested zone lve consideration to the articular s lta ility of the
12roperty h2Lparticulax uses
The proposed zoning is generally consistent with the zoning in the surrounding
area, however, the City - , Industrial Commercial zoning s a closer
reflection of the County 1-1 zoning and intended uses for the property. The
property lies ire. close proximity to storage and warehouse facihties associated
with. the County x- I zone.
o. Does the reQuested zone geve reasonable consideration to the character of the
district?
The general character of the area is a mix of industrial and commercial uses
adjacent to US Highway 93, but as one proceeds back from the highway
frontage, where this property is located, the character is less intensive. The
proposed - 1 zoning as well as the City B-5 zonm'gis generaRy consistent with
the land use character along the Hwy 93 corridor.
1. Will the ro osed zone conserve the value of d o s?
Vale of the buildings in the area will be conserved because they are consistent
with the uses allowed under the zoning and compatible with other uses in the
immediate area..
2. Will the requested zone enco ra e the most a ro r�a.te use of the lmd
throe out the jurisdiction?
This property is not within the anticipated utility service area. of Kalispell nor is
it designated on the Kalispell Future Land Use Map because of its distance
rorn the current city limits. However, the - zoning designation is apparently
consistent with the intentions and plans of the Kahs ell City Council who have
annexed this property without a zorling designation in anticipation of
development with the type of uses allowed in the --5, Industrial Commercial
zoning district.

TRIECMMENT
t is recommended that the Ka r.s e . City Planning Board and Zoning Commission
adopt staff report KA - 5-11 as fmdings of fact and forward a recommendation o
Kalispell City Council that consideration be given to the issue that this propel is
currently outside the Kalispell Groff Policy 2020 boundaries and antic'IP ated
potential utility service area.
s part of a comprehensive review., this property should e considered to be Included
as part the Kalispell Growth. Policy 2020 and the Potential Utility- Service Area
Boundary as well as the Kahs eR Future Land Use Map.
Based upon previous actions by the Kalispell City Council and the Fathead County
Board of Commissioners, it would appear that the most appropriate zonffig for this
property would be B-5, Commercial Industrial.

Atkinson moved Resolution 5018, resolution to provide for the alteration of the boundaries of
the City of Kalispell by including therein, as an annexation, the real property described as
Parcel A of Certificate of Survey #16337 In the SW 114 of Section 33, Township 28 North,
Range 21 West, .M.M*, Flathead County,, Montana, to be known as old School Station
Addition No. 3 and to declare an effective date; The motion was seconded.
am'& explained the City has the opportunity to partner with Montana Venture Partners, LLC to
form an industrial park. He said Montana Venture wishes to annex to the City and extend water and
surer to this area in return for TIF assistance. Patrick said the tax revenue from the park will assist
In developing a sustainable tax base in the future as well as producing at least I,o o good quality
jobs.
a 'erroan stated {'ire have a one paragraph proposal to annex a 55 acre parcel at the end of a two
mile tentacle from our nearest City limits"'. He said no cost analysis has been provided; the proposed
area is beyond even a future fire s a Ii on in the airport area; and there i no extension of services plan.
l a 'ferman said if this was a good proposal for the citizens, a feasibility analysis should have been
``eagerlyprovided". said he would i favor o allowing the developer to extend the crater and
sever in exchange for building to City standards and waiving the right to protest annexation.
Patrick commented the fire chief has indicated the department can effectively respond to this area
and are industrial park doesn"t require the same amount of srvices as a residential area.. He said the
Council has looked at ways to diversify the tax base and this is a prime opportunity to do that by
ringing in industrial and commercial properties. In addition., Patrick stated there are property
owners along US 93 who are also interested in annexing.
Olson noted the County has already approved this project with septic systems. He agreed the
property is "long way out"'. but added the City will be creating a lot of good payingjobs and he will
support It because of that.
Peters said because the County has already approved the project the jobs will still be there
independent of what the Council does and the tax revenue will be delayed for the life of the TIF
district. He said he's also in favor of allowing them to get City services, but he's not in favor of
ame ation. Peters stated he d esn"t understand what the advantage is to the taxpayer and is
confused why this proposal is even before the Council.
Patrick responded the City has been looking at developing an industrial park and when this project
vas Proposed it only made sense to try to develop a partnership.
l of err an stated this is a "lousy deal" for the City of Kalispell because for 15 years not one tax
dollar will go ito t, general fund and the taxpayers' rates will have to g o t pay for the services
for police, fire and infrastructure maintenance.
Herron said he thinks this is a great project, but e doesn't have any numbers t base a decision on.
He said this is a 3.1 million dollar windfall for the developers and other developers are asking why
they have to pay for t. eir own infrastructure. Herron said there are j
.ust too many unanswered
questions.
Kalispell City Council Minute
June 6, 2005
Page
Patrick said a meeting with the developer is schedule for vedneday morning to develop the
business plans. He stated the City has not been, approached by any other developers interested in an
industrial park., reiterating this is an opportunity to diversify the economy and tax base by providing
some incentives to companies coming to town.
Herron commented he still doesn't feel the Council has enough information and even though he
doesn't have any problem with the annexation, he may have a problem with the TIC'.
Larson said the Council is simply voting on the annexation and there will be a lot more information
coning forward prior to a vote on the TJF. He said he supports it because he feels this will be
quality project with quality developers that will be a benefit to the City, boever, he is concerned
about public safety response time.
Hafferman pointed out an extension of services plan is required by State later prior to any decision
beingmade
.
Peters noted even though the Council has been told they are only voting on annexation, he feels 1*17s a
lead to a TIF distn*ct otherwise annexation wouldn't be considered. He said the extension of sever
and water can occur without annexation, but T district can"t. Peters said at this time he st can't
see .bow this makes sense.
Atkinson said he"s looking at the annexation as more than just are annexation.. He said it" s a potential
for great economic development and will allow the City to have a say in the development of the
southern. corridor. He added he's only willing to take this leap because of the partners the City will
be involved with.
Mayor Kennedy said sbe supports the annexation and she also supports the IJF district. She said the
developers are at the table because they were asked to come to the table. Mayor Kennedy said the
Council has charged the City Manager with increasing the number of jobs and the economic
development in the community and she feels this will do just that.
Gabriel said she will support the resolution for the same reasons, adding she has to trust the police
and fire chiefs when they say the area can be adequately covered.
Herron said he 'is going to support the resolution because he doesn't want to see another onsite
treatment facility or septic system in this valley, but he's not necessarily going to support a TIF
district.
The motion carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Larson, Olson, and
Mayor Kennedy voting in favour, and Hafferman, Kenyon, and ,deters voting against,

M N ANA VENTURE A request by Montana Venture Partners, LLC for an initial
PARTNERS, L C INITIAL zoning designation of l- 1, Light Industrial, on appro=ately
ZOMNG REQUEST 55 acres located east of Rocky Cliff Dave and Highway 93
South.
STAFF REPORT KA-5- 11 Nara Wilson, with the Tr -City Planning Office, gave a.
presentation of Staff Report KA-o - 11, a request by Montana
Venture Partners, LLC for an initial .m g designation of l-
on approximately 55 acres located east of Rocky Cliff Drive
and Highway 93 South.
Wilson stated that this property was a=e e , to the city o
. e 6, 2005 and is located 1.9 des south of the current
city =ts, off ` of Rocky Cliff Drive, east of the Ce .ex fuel
storage, and southeast of Ashley Creek. It is entirely out o
the 100 year flood plan. She said the property owners got a
Master plan a a..e . rme t from the County; the property was
zoned County l- , Light Industrial, and the p -ems. ary plat
was approved for a 55 acre subdivision with 16 lots, to be
known as Old School Station.
Wilson explained that the Kalispell city Manager talked with
the developers about partnering with the City for a business/
industrial park. She said she has been working with the
developers to assign are appropna e zo=g designation.
Nilson said the property was annexed on June 6 by the city
Council without a. zoning designation, and that is not the
typ cal process. There may not have been adequate
consideration given to legal issues relating to the zoning, and
growth policy for the area. She said this is out beyond the
growth policy boundary and potential utflity service area by
about a mile and there is no groom policy land use
designation, in the area. As a result the master plan
amendment,, the Flathead County Master Plana designates the
properly as Industrial. But the Light Industxial for the
county is different than the City's designation. She said the
County designation much Broader that the City's designation
since It does not include retail, office or lighter service uses.
Wilson said that currently here are issues with. the provision
of p bhc services to the property, since the severer and gaiter
are apprwdmately 2 miles away; the property lies on a
unpaved road. She stated the propel owners intend o
some pang to the site along B o dine Drive and eraser ville
Road and to connect to surer that would be eNtended at the
developer's expense. She said the character of the area is a
mix of industrial commercial uses, the river is to the east,
Kalispell City Plaming Board
Al es of the special meeting f June 11, 1
there is meted residential to the north and east, to the south
is commercial and. some residential. She said there is a. lot o
floodplain in the area and the surrounding zoning is a mix o
large tract agricultural to the east, tznzoned property to the
south. . She said there is a mix of uses towards the # ood lain
to the north., mostly rural residential and agricultural, and
very intense commercial and Mndu trial uses to the merest
along the Hwy 93 corridor. She said the intent of the Council
was to provide facilities and create a. tax base and jobs, and
provide an opportunity for redevelopment of the Hwy 93
corridor with the extension of utihties,
Wilson finished by stating that staff is recon=ending the
Kalispell City Planning Board and Zor,��,r.�. Commission adopt
staff report KA-05-1 as fmdingsof fact and forward a
re ar= nd.a.t on to Kalispell City Council that consideration
e given to the issue that this ro 'rty is currently outside 3
the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 boundaries and anticipated
potential utility semce area.
As part of a. comprehensive review, this property should be
considered to be Mclnded as part the Kalispell Growth o c r
2020 and the Potential Utility Service Area Bolandary as well�
as the Kalispell Future ,hand Use Map.
E
fir'} �
Based pon re .o s actions y the Ka ell City Council
upon
and the Flathead County Board. of Commissioners, it would �
appear that the most appropriate zoning for this property
would be -5, Commercial Industrial, because of the close
association of the uses between the City B-5and the County

Wilson gave Taylor a copy of the Flathead County Zonm' �

evaluate the proposal.
PU13LIC HEAEUNG
The public hearing was opened to those who wished to spew
f
on the issue.
APPLICANTS/AGENCIES
ndy Mier, 175 East Many Lakes Drive, stated that this was
done very quickly and it was approved by the Flathead
County Commissioners and County Planning Board. The City
came to then and asked if they o it d consider annexation
3 to the City. He said they had had meetings with landowners
about putting in sewer and waiter des, but no one else
wanted to connect, He said they wanted to make t 'ie
commitment and spend three million dollars to bring grater
and sewer to the property, and the City is considering TIF �
district to help with the infrastructure. He said he and
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes f the special meeting of June 21, 2005
Wilson stated they tried, to come up with the closest City
zone to the co - - 1.
Taylor asked if they would agree to the B-5 zone, Miner said
yes.
Schutt asked why this process is moving so quickly.
Mier said from his perspective, the hurry is to try to set a
standard in Kalispell for Industrial Commercial properties,
they are looking at building a. distribution facility, and some
other commitments, .ts, and they are taring to develop real
infrastructure for upscale jobs and a. good economy for the
vaRey, He said the su div sion prat vent dough the county
process, and all uses wffl be allowed in the city B-5 zone;
they will not put in things that are incompatible with their
project_
Sc .tt asked what the City wffl get out of this deal.
Miller said they are under pressure rorxr people who are
moving here to start businesses, and there are lots of tangs
that make it difficult for Light Industry to come ire , He said
that and stay warts public water and sewer. . M EQ's review
of their septic system word be approved 6 to 8 months from
now at a. minimum, and his clients don't wart to gait that
long. He said that when the City eventually grows to the
area, they will be able to tap into the sewer line and they will
get latecomer fees. He said they are investing in the future,
not Jiist today.
Norton said he does not believe any animosity lies with the
developers, but in how the project came before the Board.
Paul Wachho t , 183 'a�r- ay Boulevard, stated that he
needed 10 acres to relocate Fury. Beverage, and he found this
property. He said he needs to get these projects ahead of the
people so that infrastructure is there, and the south cor 'd.or
has been redesigned and redeveloped, and is in a
hodgepodge fashion along the highway. He said they were
approached by the City, and this was an opportunity to
relocate major businesses; they started with the county
because se that is where they were. He said this is a great deal
for the tax and job base and to protect the south corridor. He
said the easement is there for seiner and waiter, and people
need to know where they can build, and nothing is available
in Kahspeli right now. In response to a comment, he said
they were totally approved by the county, and there is not a
single commercial business that does not ask about water
and sewer. He said the lots will not be subdivided, and they
chose the area for its access to the highway.
Tavlor stated that he wondered whv someone did. not cal, the
Kalispell City PlanningBoard
Minutes of the special meeting of June 2 1, 21005
Board about this project and that they were margma.11 ed. He'
feels we are shooting ourselves in the foot by not following
the process.
Norton stated he would like to applaud them for extending
the services and that the City will benefit from their project.
The process that was taken is the problem.
PUBLIC COMMENT Lorraine Reed, 705 Dernersvffle Road., stated that she is here
to find out what is going on. She said. she is corn erred for
the neighborhood, and this project will be a big impact-, she
lyres less than a mile north of the project, and this wiH
hugeiy impact the amount t of traffic on that road.. She said
Mr. Wachholtz had said. he will do some paving on
Demersville Road, and that the county opted for the
developers to pave Snowline Road instead. She said there will
e one nailc of unpaved road to the north beyond this
proper. She also said she does not know what the -5
allows, and hopes that It is light industrial and not heavy
industrial; the neighborhood was not very weft notified
because of the location of their properties.
No one else wished to speak and. the miblic hearing was
closed,
MOTION Norton roved and Taylor or seconded to adopt Staff Report KA-
05- 1 as fmdin s of fact and, based on these f.�.r�di . s,
recornmend to the Kalispell city Council that the initial
zoning designation on this property -be B- , Commercial.
I BOARD DISCUSSION I Hull said he has no problem with the project, but he has
concerns that It may lead to a bunch of stri.p development,
and lots of stop h h.ts along the highway. He said It rmght be.
a good thing and it may charge the economy.
Norton asked that this area be moved to the top of the work
session agenda, because it wiH develop quickly. He also
stated that just because the developer has the funds and a
good plan, that was no reason to set aside legalities,,
traditions and proper procedure, and all projects should go
5 through the proper channels. He said the Board could cut off
its nose to spite its face and table the issue to show the
Council they dial not appreciate being marginalized, but that'
would not be i the best interest of the City and its citizens
F 'Taylor stated he had met With the City Manager on work
F
session items and they also discussed .ssed this project, and Mr,
Patrick was well aware of the fact that the Board was left out
of the loop on this; Taylor sincerely: beheves it was a one time
incident and It won't happen again. He said he wants to talk
about being proactive and not reactive on Growth Poll
Kalispell City Planning Board
Tuts of the special meeting of June ,1 , 2005
items.
Schutt stated he feels the on ; should be - 1 , and that the
-5 would be relatively loose, and if we want an indu t al
park there, we .should zone it indal.
2 Wilson said the -5 is much less restrictive, and there is a i
greater latitude of .ses M' the B--5. She said that I-1 would '
not accommodate what the developers want to do and that
i
z
the B-5 fits county - 1 closest.
E�E
f
s
Schutt stated that the -5 would let in a whole lot of uses
that were not tied to this job -making opportunity.
MOTION — AMENDMENT
Schutt moved and inc. ey seconded that the zoning on this
rc-peaty be - 1, Light Industrial, instead of -5.
FURTHER DISCUSSION
d
c that Schutt feels the -5 is to and
Norton confirmed
"c
r 1 is it - I in orderto restrict ghat is allowed there.
Taylor said the synergy is already there, and the developers
are not thinking .bout a to ermi t,etc; they already y v
their the .ts Im'ed up. He said we don't know what it is, and
3
we have to take it on faith, but he does not think we have to
F
worry because the control is already there. He said that
E
something should W said for the developers nd their
reputations, and he does not Feel they would be coring
F before the Board with the idea that just anything can go M
3
that park.
Norton said there are only 27 different t uses allowed the - �
