Les Schwab Tire Centers - Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Setbacks in the I-1, Light Industrial
June 3, 2002
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Les Schwab Tire Centers for amendments to the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to reduce parking setbacks in the I-1, Light Industrial
zone to allow parking within five feet of the front and side corner lot lines rather than
the current 20 feet. And to reduce the rear yard setbacks from 20 feet to five feet in
the I-1, Light Industrial zoning districts. Staff recommended reducing the parking
setbacks to five feet and the rear setback to 10 feet rather than the proposed 20 feet
on the a basis that it would provide greater consistency with setback requirements of
the business zone and greater efficiency in the use of land. Staff also recommended
that the B-5, Industrial / Commercial zoning district be included since it is so similar
in nature and intent to the I-1 district.
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on May 14, 2002, and held a public hearing to
consider the amendments. At the public hearing, a letter was submitted from Ryan
D. Willis with Less Schwab Tires stating they agree with the staffs recommendation
and that would adequate for them to complete their project.
The board discussed the proposed amendments. A motion was passed to amend the
recommendation require the five-foot space between parking and lot lines be a green
landscape buffer. The main motion as amended passed unanimously to recommend
to the city council that the amendments be made as outlined on attached Exhibit A.
The planning board is unanimously recommending to the city council that the
amendments be made as recommended by staff and amended by the planning board.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve the first reading of the ordinance would
be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.

Re: Les Schwab Tire Centers - Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City Planning Board met on May 14, 2002, and held a public hearing to
consider a request by Les Schwab Tire Centers for amendments to the zoning
ordinance. These amendments reduce parking setbacks from 20 feet to five feet in the
I-1, Light Industrial zoning districts and reduce the rear setback requirements in the I-
1 districts from 20 feet to five feet.
Narda Wilson, of the Tri-City Planning Office, presented staff report #KZTA-02-2
evaluating the project. Although not in complete agreement with the applicant, staff
recommended reducing the parking setbacks to five feet and the rear setback from 20
feet to 10 feet rather than the proposed five feet. Staff believes that the rear setback
would provide greater consistency with setback requirements of the business zones
and greater efficiency in the use of land. Staff also recommended including the B-5
Industrial / Commercial, zoning district since it is so similar in purpose to the I-1.
At the public hearing, a letter was submitted from Ryan D. Willis with Les Schwab
Tires stating they agree with the staffs recommendation and that would adequate for
them to complete their project.
The board discussed the proposed amendments. A motion was passed to amend the
recommendation require the five-foot space between parking and lot lines be a green
landscape buffer. The main motion as amended passed unanimously to recommend
to the city council that the amendments be made as outlined on attached Exhibit A.
Please schedule this matter for the June 3, 2002 regular city council meeting. You
may contact this board or Narda Wilson at the Tri-City Planning Office if you have any
questions regarding this matter.

TRI-CITY PLANNING OFFICE
STAFF REPORT #KZTA-02-2
MAY 7, 2002
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission and the
Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a text amendment to the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell City
Planning Board for May 14, 2002 beginning at 7:00 PM. The planning board will
forward a recommendation to the city council for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicants would like to construct a new fire
store near the property to the east of their existing store. Because of the size of the
store there is considerable parking that is required. By amending the required
setbacks for the district in which the property is located, the applicants would be
able to meet the required parking.
A. Petitioner: Les Schwab Tire Centers
c/o Ryan D. Willis
P.O. Box 667
Prineville, OR 97754
(541) 416-5162
B. Area Effected by the Proposed Changes: Any area within the Kalispell zoning
jurisdiction that is zoned or will be zoned I-1, Light Industrial, could be affected
by the proposed changes.
C. Proposed Amendments: The applicants are proposing to amend Section
27.26.030(e)(2), Parking in the front and side yard setbacks, of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. The applicants are proposing to amend this section to include
the I-1, Light Industrial, zone along with the B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5 and H-1 zoning
districts which allow vehicles to park within five feet of the front and side corner
lot lines. Additionally, to amend Section 27.18.040(3) to reduce the rear setback
requirement in the I-1, Light Industrial, districts from 20 feet to five feet.
D. Staff Discussion: This is a request for amendments to the parking and setback
standards to the I-1, Light Industrial zoning district to allow parking in the front
and side corner setback area within five feet of the property boundary. Currently
the parking standards do not allow parking in the front or side corner setbacks in
the I-1 zone. Additionally, the applicants are requesting that the rear yard
setback requirements be reduced in the I-1 zone from 20 feet to five feet. Les
Schwab Tire Center is interested making a major expansion to their existing store
on Center Street which is located in the I-1 zone and cannot meet the required
parking to accommodate the existing and proposed new structures. This
amendment, if approved, would allow them to construct the building they are
proposing and comply with the parking standards.
The I-1, Light Industrial district is described as "An industrial district to provide
areas for light industrial uses that typically do not create objectionable
characteristics such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odor, smoke etc.; which extend
beyond the lot lines. Such light industrial uses would include light
manufacturing, processing fabrication and assembling of products or materials,
warehousing and storage and transportation facilities. This district is also
intended to accommodate various adult -type uses that may otherwise infringe or
negatively influence the residential or commercial character of other zoning
districts."
There is very little actual light industrial zoning within the city of Kalispell and
most of it lies at the west end of Center Street south of the railroad tracks or to
the south of Smiths Foods. B-5 is a Industrial / Commercial zone that is similar
in character to the light industrial zones and that is located north of the railroad
tracks and west of Fifth Avenue West. The B-5 zone is described as "A zoning
district intended primarily to accommodate a variety of business, warehouse and
light industrial uses in industrial commercial park development. Such uses shall
not create objectionable characteristics such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odor,
smoke, etc. which extend beyond lot lines. This district should be located near
major arterials and rail services."
The area around the existing Les Schwab Tire Center has been targeted for
potential redevelopment by the City of Kalispell because of the number of older
buildings and Quonset huts in the area. The area is designated as light
industrial on the master plan and with the light industrial zoning because of its
proximity to the railroad tracks, major roadways and many pre-existing uses
such as Equity, auto repair and bulk fuel distribution. The area has been slow to
redeveloped substantially, but some changes have taken place over the years.
If more redevelopment occurs in the area, it would benefit the general area and
the City to transition to allow more commercial type uses in addition to the
industrial uses. The General Business and Community Business districts, the B-
2 and B-3 zones, do allow parking within five feet of the property line in the front
and side yards. Additionally, these districts require a 10-foot rear yard setback
rather than the 20-foot setback found in the light industrial zones. In part these
additional setback requirements are intended to provide a buffer to the
potentially large buildings and more intensive uses. However, in the City of
Kalispell there are very few truly industrial -type uses because of limited parcel
sizes and land values. Most of the uses found in the light industrial areas are
uses that could potentially cross over to a commercial district. Hence there may
be some validity in amending the required setbacks to reflect a more commercial
standard.
The commercial standard places less value on setbacks, buffering, green spaces
and mitigation of impacts than the light industrial and residential standards
because they are typically in an area with more intensive uses that anticipate
increased traffic, noise and activity. In this situation there may be merit to
consideration of allowing a loosening of the standard considering the character of
the area and the uses within and around the light industrial zones. Additionally,
parking has become a primary concern for the area as a whole. A change in the
2
standard would provide the potential for increasing the parking availability on a
property and increasing the efficiency of its use.
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 -County Master Plan recognizes the light industrial areas as
a distinct and unique component of the community. The Light Industrial
zone is a reflection of the master planned area around the railroad tracks.
However, the rail lines over the years have been used less and portions of it
have been abandoned. The amendment to the parking standards to allow
parking in the front and side corner setbacks as well as a reduced setback
will increase the impacts of the uses in the area. The proposed amendments
may comply with the goals and policies of the master plan.
The proposed amendment will not generally have an affect on congestion in
the streets since the types of uses will not be changed. The allowing of higher
density and intensity of use of the parking lots may increase the overall
amount of traffic within the specific parcel.
This amendment is intended to increase the efficiency of land within an area
that has uses, which are generally comparable to commercially zoned areas.
The amendment would not affect the healthy, safety or increase the risk to
the general public.
The proposed text amendment will serve the general welfare by providing for a
safe and efficient use of land to accommodate the parking needs of the
business and the patron.
This change will not affect the size and number of buildings constructed in
the I-1 zone, but will allow for the more efficient use of land. The
development standards of the zoning district would dictate the height and
size of buildings and their setbacks.
3
This change would increase the number of vehicles in a parking lot, but
would not necessarily result in the overcrowding of land or the undue
concentration of people in one area over another.
.. • . , ... • . - . . - . - u - •
This text amendment would not effect the facilitation of public services or
utilities since all of the uses will be constructed in accordance with the
required building, safety and other application regulations.
The purpose of the text amendment is to specifically address the parking
standards of the I-1 zone and to treat it in a more commercial manner.
Considering the types and intensity of uses in the I-1 zone it appears to be
appropriate that they should be treated as the more intensively developed
zoning districts.
9. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to Ofe chara.,�'M
The character of the I-1 zoning districts is intended to be comprised of uses
that complement the areas in which they are located. Development in the I-1
zone has been of a relatively moderate intensity placing moderate demands
on the need for parking and the efficient utilization of lands. Allowing
parking in the front and side comer setbacks appears to give reasonable
consideration to the character of the district and consistent with the types
and intensity of uses in the district.
The proposed text amendment will conserve the value of buildings by
encouraging compatible and complementary uses that are currently
recognized in the district and providing for the efficient and cost effective use
of the land with adequate consideration for other uses anticipated nearby.
. ..•.. •.
The proposed amendment would encourage a more efficient use of the land
without compromising the compatibility and complementary uses allowed
within the I-1 district. This amendment would generally encourage the most
appropriate use of land throughout the planning jurisdiction.
El
When considering the proposed amendments, it may be helpful to examine the
setback requirements of the other zones. For example, the business zones require a
minimum 10-foot setback requirement while the higher intensity residential zones
require a 20-foot setback. Because of the potential size of buildings found in light
industrial zoning districts it does not seem to be prudent to reduce the setbacks
below those standards that are found in other districts. However, it may provide a
reasonable basis for reducing the standards to bring them closer to those standards
found in a commercial zone. Because the B-5, Industrial / Commercial, zoning
district is so similar in nature and character to the I-1, Light Industrial, zoning
district it would be reasonable to consider any amendments to the I-1 also be
applied to the B-5. Staff would offer that it may be reasonable to reduce the
standard to that which is similar to those found in the commercial zones, i.e. B-2,
General Business, and B-3, Community Business.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt staff report #KZTA-
02-2 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell
City Council that the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance be amended to include the I-1 and
B-5 zone in Section 27.26.030(e)(2), to allow parking in the front and side yard
setbacks and to reduce the rear yard setbacks in those districts from 20-feet to 10-
feet.
