BACKGROUND: The applicants are proposing to amend Section 27.26.030(e)(2),
Parking in the front and side corner setbacks, of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The
applicants are proposing to amend this section to include the H-1, Health Care, zone
along with the B-1, B-2, B-3 and B-5 zoning district which allows vehicles to park
within five feet of the front and side corner lot lines. Additionally, to allow parking in
the side yard setback as long as a sight obscuring fence or landscaping is constructed
along the side lot line unless it is next to a parking lot.
One July 2, 2001 the city council approved he first reading on this request is for an
amendment to the parking standards to include the H-1 zone with the commercial
zones that allows parking in the front and side corner setback area within five feet of
the property boundary. One June 12, 2001 the Kalispell City -County Planning Board
held a public hearing and unanimously recommended to approve the amendment to
the H-1 zone.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the ordinance on second reading would be
appropriate.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Potentially minor positive effects.
