01. Ordinance 1423 - Text Amendment - Les Schwab Tire Centers - Parking Setbacks - 2nd ReadingREPORT TO: FROM: SUBJECT Tri-City Planning Office 17 Second Street East - Suite 211 Kalispell, Montana 59901 Phone: (406) 751-1850 Fax: (406) 751-1858 tricity@centurytel.net Kalispell Mayor and City Council Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager Second Reading - Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Setbacks in the I-1, Light Industrial - Les Schwab MEETING DATE. June 17, 2002 BACKGROUND: This is the second reading of an ordinance amending 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 comer 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-S, Industrial / Commercial zoning district be included since it is so similar in nature and intent to the I-1 district. The Kalispell City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance on June 3, 2002. The planning board met on May 14, 2002, and held a public hearing to consider the amendments and 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 second reading of the ordinance would be in order. FISCAL EFFECTS: None. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
