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.
