Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT Kalispell Regional Medical Center - Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - Signs in the H- 1, Health Care, Zoning District MEETING DATE: April 7, 2003 BACKGROUND: This is a request by Kalispell Regional Medical Center for amendments to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to amend the sign standards in the H- 1, Health Care, zoning district. These amendments to the sign regulations in the H- 1, Health Care, zoning district are intended to better accommodate the signage associated with the new hospital campus currently under construction. A request to amend the Planned Unit Development Agreement between Kalispell Regional Medical Center and the City of Kalispell for the Buffalo Commons development has been submitted concurrently with the request for a zoning text amendment. The proposed changes will be considered as a separate item on the council agenda. . A portion of the hospital is located in the Buffalo Commons PUD and a portion of it lies in the H- 1, Health Care, zoning district. This was a consequence of the relocation of Sunnyside Drive to the north of where it used to exist. The staff worked with the Kalispell Regional Medical Center to craft the amendments to provide the hospital with the needed changes while remaining consistent with the rest of the zoning text and recommended approval of the changes with some additional amendments to assist in clarifying the signage associated with the districts similar to the H- 1 area. The planning board and staff believe the changes will provide greater consistency within the zoning text as well as a reasonable approach to the needs of the hospital in providing signs for the campus without creating undue clutter or visual impacts. At the public hearing, David Greer represented the Kalispell Regional Medical Center and explained the need for the changes. He stated that the hospital expansion involves a number of services that have specific access points within the parking lots. Additionally, the hospital is attempting to provide a comprehensive sign package that is consistent in coloring, lettering and sizes. He stated that he felt the request they were making was reasonable and asked for the boards' support. The Kalispell City Planning Board met on March 11, 2003 and held a public hearing to consider a request by Kalispell Regional Medical Center for amendments to the zoning ordinance. The board discussed the proposed amendments and a motion was Providing Community Planning Assistance To: City of Kalispell • City of Columbia Falls - City of Whitefish Kalispell Regional Medical Center Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment March 24, 2003 Page 2 passed unanimously to recommend to the city council that the amendments be made as outlined in Exhibit A attached to the letter of transmittal from the planning board.

Ron Van Natta, Jim Atkinson and George Taylor had excused absences. Jean Johnson presided over the meeting in the absence of the president and vice-president. Thomas Jentz, Director, represented the Tri-City Planning Office. There were approximately 3 people in the audience. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Anderson moved and Norton seconded the motion to approve the minutes of the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission regular meeting of February 11, 2003. The motion passed unanimously on a vote by acclamation. KALISPELL REGIONAL A request by Kalispell Regional Medical Center to amend the MEDICAL CENTER ZONING Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to change the sign standards in TEXT AMENDMENT the H- 1, Health Care, zoning district. STAFF REPORT Thomas Jentz, with the Tri-City Planning Office, gave a presentation of staff report KZTA-03-1, a proposal by the Northwest Regional Medical Center to amend the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to accommodate new signs associated with the hospital campus and the hospital expansion on property located in the H- 1, Health Care, zoning district. In reviewing the proposal, the staff recommended removing reference to the H- 1 and PUD zones and creating a new section to address signs specifically in the H- 1 zones. PUDs are typically addressed under separate agreement and should not be included in this section. The recommended amendments to signs in the H- 1 would allow two off -premise signs at key access points along US 93 to identify hospital services and locations. Additionally, the amendments addressed signage associated parking lots and entrances to specific service areas. Staff reviewed the evaluation of statutory criteria and recommended the amendment be adopted as outlined in Exhibit A. Jentz noted some housekeeping items and minor editorial amendments were included in the amendments to better clarify the sign standards associated with those zoning districts Norton asked and Jentz answered that the Buffalo Commons PUD was not affected by changes to the signs in the H- 1 zoning districtandthat it is under a separate PUD Kaiispell City Planning Board v1inutes of hc meeting of "Viarch I ' 1. 1003 D- I aae 1 of 1 agreement. The changes are intended to provide some flexibility to accommodate the signage package that works for the hospital campus expansion. Because this is a zoning text amendment and not a change to the PUD it opens the proposal to planning board and city council review and public hearing. Norton asked and Jentz referred to Mr. Greer to define hospital. Greer explained that there are ancillary uses associated with the hospital that would be considered part of the campus as a whole. PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was opened to those who wished to speak on the issue. PUBLIC COMMENT David Greer, consultant for the Kalispell Regional Medical Center, referred to a map of the new hospital complex that showed the ingress and egress points and where the signage would be located. Once in the complex there are several entrances to the hospital buildings and specific services. They proposed additional signs to locate those services. One of the changes in the signage indicates an allowance for three signs which are all hospital complexes and licensed as such. Greer explained that one of the complexes was located in a PUD and must be regulated under the PUD agreement. Based on size and height allowances he felt their request was reasonable and asked for the boards' support. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. MOTION Anderson moved and Norton seconded to adopt staff report KZTA-03-1 as findings of fact and, based on those findings, recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance be amended as outlined in proposed Exhibit A. BOARD DISCUSSION Nor -ton asked for clarification regarding the housekeeping items and Jentz said they would be included in the findings and motion and are part of Exhibit A. ROLL CALL The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote. OLD BUSINESS No old business was reported.

A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell City Planning Board for March 11, 2003 beginning at 7:00 PM. The planning board will forward a recommendation to the city council for final action. The applicants are proposing to amend the sign standards of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance in the H-1, Health Care zone allowing some additional signage in that district to accommodate and provide better direction and identification for the new hospital campus and ancillary buildings. Petitioner: Kalispell Regional Medical Center 310 Sunnyview Lane Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 751-1724 Technical Assistance: David Greer 1867 Ashley Lake Road Kalispell, MT 59901 (406) 756-9099 (2) Area Effected by the Proposed Changes: Any area within the Kalispell zoning jurisdiction that is zoned or will be zoned H-1, Health Care, could be affected by the proposed changes. (3) Proposed Amendments: The applicants are proposing to amend Section 27.24. 100, Signs, by removing reference to the H- 1 and PUD zones and by creating a new section 27.24. 10 1 that will address signs specifically in the H- I Zones. The H-1 amendments will provide for additional signage at key access points along US 93 through the allowance of off premise directional signs at key intersections along US 93 and better identification of hospital parking lots and entrances. A full list of changes are found in Exhibit A. Please note, in addition, staff has proposed four minor housekeeping issues that surfaced during this amendment process which involve minor editing of existing text with the sign code to improve readability and intent. These changes are also found in Exhibit A. (4) Staff Discussion: This request is for an amendment to the signage standards within the H- I hospital zone. Over time the hospital has grown and the medical community around the hospital has correspondingly grown. New roads have been constructed and Sunnyview Lane, in particular has been re -constructed. It is becoming more and more difficult to navigate through the hospital complex, 1 especially in light of the recent hospital expansion that has caused a much larger footprint with specialized entrances for various uses. There is no common belt road around the hospital, consequently access to emergency and everyday uses has become much more complex. The hospital is requesting permission to provide additional directional signage off of US 93 and other local roads to direct traffic to various components of the hospital so that the traveling public, local people and especially anyone associated with an emergency can appropriately access the proper hospital facilities. The intent of the Health Care zone is "intended to provide hospital facilities and supportive services for the care of the sick, elderly and distraught. The zone is not intended to serve the general retail or overnight accommodations needs of the general public." Uses listed as permitted uses in the zone include medical and dental clinics along with provisional offices and single-family and duplex dwellings. Conditionally permitted uses include more high -intensity uses such hospitals, retirement and other group home residences as well as some limited retail and restaurant uses. This district allows a mix of office, residential and health care related uses. Currently the area around Kalispell Regional Medical Center is the only area within the Kalispell zoning jurisdiction that has the H-1, Health Care, zoning designation. The area around the hospital has taken on a decidedly medical and professional character with the residential components generally limited to the assisted living facilities, retirement homes, nursing homes and the small single-family area along Buffalo Hill Drive, which has been slated for rezoning. The Buffalo Commons PUD was intended as a mixed -use area with the office uses located in closer proximity to the hospital and the highway. The area has developed with a large bank facility, medical offices and clinics as well as some limited single-family and multi -family residences. 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. The Kalispell City Growth Policy recognizes the hospital area as a distinct and unique component of the community. The amendments to the signage standards are intended to provide identification and clearly marked access points which will enhance the local and traveling public's access to the medical complex and reduce confusion in an area that has over time developed into a very compact medical service community. The Growth Policy anticipates this area as a regional medical center with a high intensity of service -oriented uses. This amendment would substantially comply with the goals and policies of the master plan. The proposed amendments are intended to greatly reduce traffic congestion by insuring that the traveling public and user's of the hospital facilities in this district can adequately identify the access points off of the major street system and get to their destination within the health campus conveniently and safely This amendment is intended to improve directional signage and thus increase the efficiency of access and provide better direction especially for emergency traffic as they travel US 93. The amendments would enhance the health and safety by allowing those who need health and safety services to better locate them, especially in time of emergency. IWOKII Psys"ITOT M-TIMMM. WIM- FMZM The proposed text amendments will serve the general welfare by providing for safe and efficient direction and access to the medical complex and the various major health providers within. MrStMOMMOMOIFFM M' "W-TWOF-IM The proposed amendments will have no impact either positive or negative on this factor. We VVAO 6 DO *3 MM41 04 This change would to some degree lessen the impact of an increased development pattern around our community major health facilities by providing better access identification and directional signage for the public. MGM= These text amendments would have no impact on public services listed except for transportation where their could be a significant improvement in the flow of traffic within the medical community as people are properly directed to the major medical components. The purpose of the text amendments are to specifically address the signage standards of the H-1 zone and to provide better access and directional signage to improve the overall efficiency of travel and access within the zone The character of the H-1 zoning districts is intended to be comprised of uses that complement the health care field such as offices, therapists, clinics, extended care facilities and others. Over time, the area has become much more fully developed, street systems have been built and changed and the largest single facility, the hospital, has grown dramatically such that there is no "Longer one signed access point to all its services. The proposed changes will facilitate better identification and user access to the medical complex, especially for emergency situations. 'ITMUMM-61 'ROOM The proposed text amendments will conserve the value of building by enhancing access and traffic flow within the district thus making it much more functional. 48MAWWRO'Dr.-MMUMA914 - - �VRTM More. 116TOWN M11 - I The proposed amendments would encourage a more efficient traffic flow without compromising the compatibility and complementary uses allowed within the H-1 district. These amendments would generally encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the planning jurisdiction. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt staff report KZTA-03-1 as findings of fact and, based on these findings; recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance be amended as outlined in attached Exhibit A.
