Wilson, Senior Planner Frank Garner, Acting City Manager Larry & Sandy Heusher - Initial Zoning Upon Annexation of R-3 and R-4, Country Way South September 7, 2004 BACKGROUND: This is a request by Larry and Sandy Heusher for an initial zoning designation of R-3, Urban Single Family Residential, and R-4, Two Family Residential, on approximately 12.45 acres. The property proposed for annexation lies on the west side of County "Tay South., between County Way and Granrud Drive. A request for preliminary plat approval of Stillwater Bluffs, a 32 Lot subdivision has been filed concurrently with the request for annexation and initial zoning. Currently the property is in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential. The Heusher's single family home is currently on the property and will be removed at the time the property is developed. A public hearing was held before the Kalispell City Planning Board at a meeting of August 10, 2004 regarding this proposal. Two people from the neighborhood spoke in opposition to the proposal and two people from the neighborhood spoke in favor. Objections were based on density and traffic. Support was based upon expansion of the city in this area and connection to sewer and water with new development. After the public hearing the board discussed the annexation. They agreed that it was reasonable for this property to be brought into the city and noted that there were other similar developments in the immediate area. A motion was made and passed unanimously to forward a recommendation that initial zoning for this property should be R-3, Urban Single Family Residential, and R-4, Two Family Residential, upon annexation to the city, RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the first reading of the ordinance for R-3 and R-4 zoning upon annexation would be in order.

The property proposed for annexation lies on the east side of Country Way South between Granrud Lane and Country Way. The property is currently in the county and is zoned County R-1, Suburban Residential. Narda Wilson of the Tri-City Planning Office presented staff report KA-04-9, evaluating the proposed zoning.

At the public hearing the applicant and two individuals spoke in favor of the zoning of this property to R-3 and R-4 and 2 individuals spoke in opposition stating the density was too great, the road was inadequate to handle the increased traffic, and the safety of children who play in the area. After the public hearing the board discussed the request and a motion to recommend R-3 and R-4 zoning upon annexation passed on a unanimous vote.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION This report evaluates the appropriate assignment of a City zoning classification in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The property owners have petitioned annexation and initial zoning classifications of R-3, Urban Single Family Residential, and R-4, Two -Family Residential. The property is in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned County R-1, a Suburban. Residential district. This property will be annexed under the provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2- 4610, M.C.A., Annexation by Petition.

Petitioner and Owners: Technical Assistance: Larry and Sandy Heusher 545 Country Way South Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 752-3085 Montana Mapping Associates 115 Valley View Drive Kalispell, MT 59901 B. Location and Legal ]Description of Property: The property proposed for annexation lies on the east side of Country Way South between Granrud Larne and Country Way. The property address is 545 Country Way South and can be described as Assessor's Tracts 5H and 5HA in Section 31, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. C. Existing zoning: The property is currently in the County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-1, Suburban Residential. The suburban residential district is intended to serve as an area where limited density would be encouraged such as in the 100- year floodplain or on steep slopes or in areas where estate type development is anticipated and public water and sewer services are not available. D. Proposed Zoning: Two zoning designations are being proposed for this property to reflect the type of development being proposed. An approximately 2.75 acre area of the approximately 12.45 acres is being proposed to be zoned City R-3, Urban Single Family residential, where lots for single family dwellings are planned. The remaining portion of the property is being proposed for City R-4, Two -Fan -&y Residential, to accommodate two unit townhouses within the subdivision. The R-3 zoning district is intended primarily for detached single-family dwellings. It has a minimum lot size requirement of 7,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet. Setbacks are 20 feet in the front and rear and ten feet on the sides. The R-4 zoning district is intended primarily for single-family dwellings, two unit townhouses and duplex development. The minimum lot size for the district is 6,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet with setbacks of 15 feet in the front, 10 feet in the rear and 5 feet on the sides. E. Size: The property proposed for annexation and initial zoning contains approximately 12.45 acres. F. Existing .Land Use: Currently this property is being used for a single-family residence where the property owners live. G. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The immediate area is characterized by single-- family homes on urban sized lots in the area to the cast and single-family homes on the larger lots to the north and south. The Stillwater River lies to the west, North: large lots with single-family homes, County R-1 zoning East: Single-family homes; City RA-1 zoning South: Single family homes, County R-I zoning. West: Stillwater River and ag land, County SAG-10 zoning H. General Land Use Character. The area can be described as an area in transition with urban sized lots to the east and south were public utilities have been extended to Glacier Commons and Buffalo Stage. Single family homes lie to the north in County Village Subdivision and are large lots and there are large lots to the south that are in the County. 1. Availability of Public Services and Extension, of Services: Public services, including City water and sewer can be provided to this site. Public water and sewer were extended into the area with other development in the immediate area. Water services are provided by the Evergreen Water District and sewer services are provided by the City of Kalispell. Water and sewer are to the east of this property in the Glacier Commons subdivision. Mains would be extended to service the property. EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-205, M.C.A. Findings of fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-203, M. C.A. 1. Does the requested zone co .ply with thegrowthpolicy? The property is designated by the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 as "Urban Residential" which is defined as anticipating 4 to 12 dwellings per acre. Because of the plans for the provision of public water and sewer to the site, the proposed zoning designations are in compliance with the growth policy designation.. The property owners are proposing the creation of ten lots intended for single family dwellings and 22 sublots intended for two unit townhouses. A portion of the property is defined by steep slopes to the Stillwater River that lies to the west and a drainage swale to the north. The overall density of the 12.45 acre parcel is being proposed at approximately 2.57 dwelling units per acre. The proposed zoning complies with the type of development anticipated under the growth Policy. 2. Is he requested zone desizried to lessen congestion in the streets? It can be anticipated that the proposed development of the property that will be associated with the zoning will increase traffic impacts in the area due to the undeveloped nature of the area currently. Traffic impacts to the area can be accommodated with the existing roadway systems at hand. The proposed re- zoning carries with it the checks and balances, including the need for subdivision review, which will ensure that traffic flows and access are appropriately addressed. The potential densities afforded by this zone will not overtax the existing road system. 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers? At the time this property is developed, the property owners will be required to ensure that there are adequate accommodations in the case of an emergency. There are no features related to the property which would compromise the safety of the public. New construction will be required to be in compliance with the building safety codes of the City which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal services including police and fire protection, water and sewer service is available to the property and i�,ill be utilized at the time another lot is created in the future. - - - 4. Will the requested zone promote the health and general welfare? The requested zoning classifications will promote the health and general welfare by restricting land uses to those which would be compatible with the adjoining properties and provides a place for new housing in the community. 5. Will tl-Ae requested zone provide for adequate light and air? Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring on this site are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to ensure adequate light and air is provided. 6. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land? As previously noted this area has been anticipated for urban residential development and since public water and sewer are available to the area the urban land use designation is appropriate. The anticipated density falls within the proposed zoning designations. All public services and facilities will be available to serve this property. An overcrowding of land would occur if 3 infrastructure were inadequate to accommodate the development in the area. This is unlikely to occur. 7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of people? An increase in the number and concentration of people in the area will likely result after this land has been converted from a very low density rural home site to a more intensive residential use. However, the intensity of the uses of the property would be in direct relationship to the availability of public services, utilities and facilities as well as compliance with established design standards. The design standards and availability of facilities would provide the structure needed to ensure that there will not be an overcrowding of the land or undue concentration of people. Minimum lot standards and use standards as well as subdivision development standards will avoid the undue concentration of people at the time the property is farther developed. S. Will the re uested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? Public service, facilities and infrastructure would be made available to the developer. The developer would need to extend the needed City services that are not currently extended to the property at the developers' expense and in accordance with the City's policies and standards. New improvements to the property such as roads, water, sewer, parks and drainage would be installed in accordance with City policies and standards at the developers' expense thereby insuring that there is adequate provision of services to the site prior to development. Fire, police, ambulance and public access are adequate to accommodate potential impacts associated with the development of this site. There will be impacts to services that can be anticipated as a result of this proposal which can be met by the City. All public services and facilities are currently available or can be provided to the property. Development should be encouraged in areas where these services are available. 9. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the property for particular uses? The proposed zoning furthers the long range development plans as reflected in the recently adopted Kalispell Growth Policy for this area and provides opportunities for housing in a development that is compatible with surrounding land uses with the extension and provision of public services within reasonable proximity to the City core. The proposed zoning will provide the basis for the future land uses on this property, in accordance with the Kalispell Growth Policy. This rezoning gives great consideration to the suitability of this property for the proposed use and concurrent zoning proposal. The proposed zoning is consistent with the anticipated land uses in the area and gives due consideration of the suitability of this property for the permitted uses in the district. 10. Does the requested zone ve reasonable consideration to the character of the district? The general character of the area is transitional between the urban and rural fringes of the City limits. The proposed zoning allows this development to address needs within the community for housing and support services on public services and in reasonable proximity to the City core. Recent annexations in the area indicate that this type of development will continue to occur on the urban fringes of the community to be developed with similar types of uses as is proposed with this property, i.e. urban residential rather than rural. It appears that the proposed rezoning gives reasonable consideration to the character of the district. 11, Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings? There is a single-family residential subdivision to the north developed with larger lot sizes. The development anticipated under the proposed zoning is more intense in nature than that of other properties in the areas to the north and south because of the availability of public services and utilities. However, the City star QrLIS WII3 ensure �UICt+L +ULdG.,i. A-_ 1.C5... LEll:k.'j.lLl. i4u[�t31:Ly L.IGt-V_1-_ _.I7_JjJj11�11G� it �L1c_l, _WLiensure t1 G- value of buildings and homes is protected, maintained and conserved. Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the zoning will promote compatible and like uses on this property as are found on other properties in the area. 12, Will the requested zone encourage.. the most aRprol2riate use of the land throu lout the xraunici all ? Urban scale residential development should be encouraged in areas were services and facilities are available such as is being proposed on this property. The proposed zoning is consistent with the master plan and surrounding zoning in the area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt the findings in staff report #KA-04-9 and recornme nd to the Kalispell City Councjd that the initial zoning for this property upon annexation be R-3 and R-4 as proposed.
