REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Thomas R. Jentz, Director
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT Proposed Amendments to Spring Prairie PUD
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2003 council meeting
BACKGROUND:
Goldberg Properties, Inc. are requesting 5 major amendments to the Spring Prairie
PUD agreement to accommodate their proposed 29-lot commercial development
called Spring Prairie Center to be located on the northeast corner of Section 36.
Section 5.01 of the PUD agreement states that all proposed amendments to the PUD
agreement are to be submitted to the Kalispell Site Review Committee. Any changes
of significance (major) are to be forwarded directly to the City Council for action. The
five changes before you for final action include allowing up to 3 accesses instead of 2
onto US 93, allowing the maximum budding height to be set at 45 feet with a
provision for a conditional use permit for anything higher, modifying the signage
requirements to incorporate existing city standards, allowing a tiered system for
building setbacks from US 93 for major anchor buildings to be 300 feet in phase 1,
225 feet in phase 2 and 150 in phase 3, and finally allowing gaming as a minor and
incidental use in restaurants based on very specific design limitations.
The Kalispell City Council held a public hearing and the first reading on December
1, 2003.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the second reading of the ordinance would
be in order.
Respectfully Submitted,
Thomas R. Jentz Chris A. Kukulski
