Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT Blend Conditional Use Permit for Multiple Structures on a Single Parcel in an RA-3 District - 1069 North Meridian Road MEETING DATE: February 2, 2004 BACKGROUND: This is a request by Michael Blend for a conditional use permit to convert an existing detached shop building at the rear or the east end of the property to an office building. Section 27.22.060, Principal Structures, allows multiple principal structures on a single tract or lot subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The existing building located to the rear or to the east of the property would be modified and remodeled into an office building with the basic footprint of the building being unchanged. The new office building would contain approximately 1,485 square feet. There is an existing office building with approximately 824 square feet located toward the west end of the property along North Meridian Road. A small dwelling or "apartment" that is used as a rental is located on the lower level of the existing office building. No alterations or changes would be made to the existing office or apartment building. This property is zoned RA-3, a Residential Apartment / Office zoning district. The property has an existing two way access directly off of North Meridian Road that would continue to be utilized as it currently exists with some minor modifications made to accommodate landscaping, parking and paving. There is existing parking located to the rear of the office building. Due to ever increasing growth and expansion, the North Meridian Road area can be considered an area in transition from a primarily residential area to an area with a mix of office and some limited general commercial uses. This property was rezoned within the last several years from and R-3 zoning district which is primarily a single family zoning district, to the current RA-3, a more office oriented zoning district. The Kalispell City Planning Board held a public hearing on January 13, 2004. No one from the neighborhood attended the public hearing. The planning board passed a motion unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to conditions. RECOMMENDATION: A motion to grant the conditional use permit subject to the recommended conditions would be in order.

The new office building would contain. approximately 1,485 square feet. There is an existing office building with approximately 824 square feet located toward the west end of the property along North Meridian Road. A small dwelling or "apartment" that is used as a rental is located on the lower level of the existing office building. This property is zoned RA--3, a Residential Apartment / Office zoning district.

The property is zoned RA-3, a Residential Apartment / Office zoning district which has a provision for multiple principal structures on a single tract of record subject to approval of a conditional use permit. E. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses Zoning: Due to ever increasing growth and expansion, the North Meridian Road area can be considered an area in transition from a primarily residential area to an area with a mix of office and some limited general commercial uses. This property was rezoned within the last several years from. and R-3 zoning district which is primarily a single family zoning district, to the current RA-3, a more office oriented zoning district. North: Single-family residence, RA-3 zoning East: Meridian Point Apartments, RA-3 zoning South: Meridian Point Apartments, RA-3 zoning West: Offices and single family residences, RA-3 zoning F. Relation to the Growth Policy: The Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 recognizes this area as being suitable as a Mixed Use area. This would generally accommodate offices, apartments, single family residences as well as some limited general commercial uses. The transition from residential to a more office oriented type area is in large part because of the volumes of traffic along North Meridian Road coupled with the plans to upgrade North Meridian Road from two lanes to four lanes in this immediate area along with providing pedestrian access. Limited expansion of a commercial / office components and transition from residential to non --residential uses should be allowed until such time as the North Meridian Road upgrade has been completed to prevent the further taxing of an already overburdened roadway.

Appropriateness of design: a. Parking and site circulation: The Kalispell zoning ordinance requires one parking space per 400 square feet for offices and two parking spaces per single family dwelling. The existing 824 square foot office building along with the new 1,485 square foot office building will require a total of six parking spaces. Additionally the dwelling that currently existing as a "basement apartment" below the existing office building will require two parking spaces for a total of eight parking spaces. A total of 11 parking spaces is indicated on the site plan which includes two handicapped parking spaces near each of the office buildings. The number and size of the proposed parking spaces as well as the back up space complies with the parking requirements of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.

There is adequate parking and the site circulation is good. b. Open Space: There are no speck open space requirements for this type of development other that the required setbacks for the buildings which is 20 feet in the front and rear and ten feet on the sides.

Fencing.1Screening,/Landscaping, There are some landscaped areas that currently exist on the site that will be developed in conjunction with the remodeling of the building to an office. There are some large trees on the site primarily toward the west end of the property which will be retained. Some shrubbery will be installed along the southern property boundary to provide some buffering and to provide an area for stormwater retention. There is some existing screening to the south of this site in conjunction with the Meridian Point Apartments. There is some fencing along the northern property boundary that is in poor condition and will be replaced as part of the redevelopment of this site. No additional fencing, screening or landscaping other that that which currently existing and that which is proposed appears warranted. d. : A freestanding two sided sign in front of the existing office building is being proposed with a stone base and trellis style design is outlined in the application. The freestanding sign will be designed to comply with the sign regulations for the RA-3 zoning district which allow a 24 square foot sign not to exceed six feet in height. Wall signs not to exceed 20 square feet per use not to exceed 40 square feet per developed parcel are also allowed and all new signage would be subject to the issuance of a sign permit. 3. Availability of Public Searvitces/Facilities: a. Schools: This site is within School District #5. No impact is anticipated from the proposed office. b. Parks and Recreation: There are few parks or recreational facilities within close proximity of the site that would be subject to use by the occupants of the office. Impacts to the parks are anticipated to be minimal. C. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed residential facility. d. Fin-, Er rt Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed office. Compliance with the Uniform Fire Code will be required. The Kalispell Fire Marshal has reviewed this proposal and no new hvdrants or special considerations are warranted as a result of this building, and fire 4 needs can be accommodated with the existing hydrants in place and existing access. Water and sewer: Water and sewer will be provided by the City of Kalispell and will simply entail the extension of service lines from existing mains along North Meridian Road. No new water or sewer mains will be required to be installed as a result of this project. Water and sewer services can be provided by the City of Kalispell without any noticeable impacts to the City system or existing capacity. e. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by a the City of Kalispell. A solid waste pick up area has been indicated on the site plan and no special accommodations are anticipated to be required to meet this need. f. Sixg- Typical traffic generated from office type uses that is being proposed would be minimal considering the overall traffic currently handled on North Meridian Road. Impacts to this roadway can be anticipated to be limited. 5. Neighborhood Impacts: Development and land use impacts associated with the proposed office use are anticipated to be typical of this type of development and with other similar office uses in the immediate area. Traffic generation is also anticipated to the insignificant. A notice of public hearing was mailed to property owners within 150 feet of the site approximately 15 days prior to the hearing. As of this writing, staff has received no inquiries or comments from neighbors or nearby property owners on the proposal. S. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The proposal is generally compatible with the immediate area, where a mix of office, residential and limited commercial uses. This is an area in transition from a more traditional single family residential neighborhood to more office oriented type used primarily because the large volumes of traffic handled by North Meridian Road have made this area less and less desirable for single family residential development. The proposed use is consistent with the anticipated trend and recent changes in the area. b. Effects on property values: No negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of this use. The proposal is compatible with the neighborhood, existing land uses and the development pattern in the area. Staff recommends that the planning board adopt the staff report #KCU-03-8 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposal will be developed in substantial conformance with the approved site plan and other application. That the conditions associated with this permit shall be met prior to occupancy of the buildings. 19 2. The proposal shall comply with the Kalispell Design and Construction Standards for water, sewer, storm drainage, and other applicable facilities which shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of a building permit. 3. The development comply with the Uniform Fire Code and the requirements of the Kalispell Fire Department. 4. The conditional use permit is valid for a period of 18 months from the date of authorization after which time if the commencement of activities has not occurred the permit shall be void. A continuous, good faith effort to design the building, obtain financing and other activities shall be considered a commencement.

Should any information or representation submitted in connection with this application be incorrect or untrue, I understand that any approval based thereon may be rescinded, and other appropriate action taken_ The signing of this application signifies approval for the Tri-City Planning staff to be present on the property for routine monitoring and inspection during the approval and development process. Applicant Signature Date Addendum to Application for Conditional Use Permit Question 3: a) The property has a single two way access on Meridian Rd b) A paved parking area shall be provided on the property with a paved area for turning around at the rear of the lot. c) Off street parking shall be provided as per regulations at one space per 400 sq. ft. of office (2309 / 400 = 6spaces) and two spaces for the apartment, making a total of 8 required spaces. I have planned for 9 spaces, two of which are handicap spaces. d) A refuse bin shall be provided in an alcove between the two office buildings. Landscaping will provide for an attractive Natural screen. e) Utilities: Natural gas is currently provided to the building and will be used for space heating. New underground electric and phone service will be connected. Water and sewer will be connected to city services at Meridian Rd. f) There is an existing row of large bushes (8' -10' tall) on the southern and eastern boundary of my property, these bushes are on the neighboring property (Meridian Point Apartments). There are also three large trees (60'+) on my property that I have planned to keep (located on plan). I intend to plant small shrubs and low landscaping along the southern property line. The Northern property line is currently a wire fence that is falling apart. I intend to install a new 3' high split rail fence with climbing roses or some compatible type of landscaping. g) I am planning on a freestanding two sided sign in front of the existing office. This sign will have a stone base with a trellis style design to tie in with the trellis over the back office windows. The sign will be built to city regulations. h) The newly remodeled office building will be 22'-8" at its highest point above the entry. I intend to use the buildings existing roofline, so the only additional height will be due to the new entry and fagade required to make it an attractive office. The existing building and the addition to the existing building are within the code required setbacks. i) Since this lot is less than 1 acre, my only "open space" is in the setbacks. The entire lot will be landscaped when completed. j} Our current hours of operation are Sam — 5pm Monday through Friday. I anticipate the tenant in the rear office would most likely have similar hours; I have not pre -leased the space however, so 1 couldn't say for sure. k) General office use does not typically generate much noise or excess light. Since I am paving the parking areas and landscaping the rest of the lot, dust will not be a problem. Odors, fumes and vibration would only be that produced by the vehicles using the parking lot. I don't believe this will cause any disruption to the community.
