Ordinance 1383 - Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - Parking
Standards for Grocery Stores and Supermarkets - 2nd Reading
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2001
BACKGROUND: Smith's Food and Drug has requested an amendment to the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance that would amend the Section concerning Off Street Parking for Grocery and
Supermarkets. The applicants proposed the Section be amended as follows: "One space per 200
square feet of gross floor area for the first 5,000 square feet plus one space for each 300 square feet
in excess of 5,000 square feet". On May 8th, however, the Planning Board voted that the City
Council approve the changes to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance on a calculation of one space per
300 square feet. This change coincides with the zoning regulations in Flathead County and
Whitefish.
Following discussion at the last meeting, the Council agreed to support the Planning Board's
recommendation and amended Ordinance 1383 to read "1 space per 300 square feet of gross floor
area".
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council approve Ordinance 1383 on second reading.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by Council.
