Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments -
Amendment to Building Height Limits in Various Districts
November 5, 2001
BACKGROUND: This is a proposal initiated by the City of Kalispell at the direction
of the city council to amend various sections of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance
dealing with building heights. The proposed amendments establish a height limit in
all of the residential districts that is generally consistent by increasing the height limit
to 35 feet. This was recommended in part because all the other zoning jurisdictions
in Flathead County have a 35 foot building height limit and to provide consistency in
the residential zones. In the commercial, industrial and public zones the height limits
are recommended to be amended to a maximum of 40 feet and to allow up to a
maximum 60 feet with a conditional use permit. It has been recommended that the
60 foot building height limit would only be allowed by conditional use permit and
would be subject to performance standards. A summary of the proposed amendments
to the height limits is outlined on attached Exhibit A.
The intent of these amendments is to provide greater consistency, ease in
administration and flexibility in building design. The conditional use permit process
to allow building height limits up to 60 feet is intended to notice those property
owners most affected by the tall builidng and to provide an opportunity for input.
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board held a public hearing at their regular
meeting of October 9, 2001 regarding the proposed amendments and discussed the
various options. A motion was made to recommend approval of the proposed changes
to the height limits which passed on a vote of six in favor and one opposed.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the ordinance on first reading to amend the
height limits in the various zoning districts would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Potentially minor positive effects.

Re: Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments- City of Kalispell
Amendment to Building Height Limits in Various Districts
Dear Chris:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board met on October 9, 2001, and held a public
hearing to consider a request by the City of Kalispell to address building height limits
in various districts in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
Narda Wilson, of the Tri-City Planning Office, presented staff report KZTA-01-8,
evaluating the proposed text amendments. She noted this was an issue identified by
the planning board and the city council that needed some work. The recommended
changes were intended to provide greater consistency and flexibility.
At the public hearing P.J. Sorensen represented the City, and explained the proposed
changes. He noted that the higher buildings would be subject to a higher level of
review, performance standards and notice to the adjoining property owners.
After the public hearing the board discussed the proposed amendments. A motion
was made and passed on a vote of six in favor and one opposed to recommend to the
Kalispell City Council the proposed amendments with regard to building heights be
approved.
Please schedule this matter for the November 5, 2001 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.
Sincerely
Kalispell City -County Planning Board

Sipe said he didn't like the way this had been done, he didn't want
to see it happen again, and he would vote for it only because it
provides affordable housing.
DRAFT Wilson asked what he meant.
Stevens said the normal procedure would have been for Mr. Watti
to have applied for a zone change, rather than ask for a text
amendment that affected everybody. Stevens said there was merit
in this request, because it could provide the means of keeping a
business going and also provide affordable housing.
Rice said over the past few years the board had reviewed similar
requests by applicants for a text amendment who wanted to do
something in particular, and this request was no different.
Van Natta said if they weren't in favor of smart growth then they
are apparently in favor of dumb growth. He noted that Citizens for
a Better Flathead at least took the time to review and comment on
proposals before the board and city council.
Stevens questioned the value of the lobbying the group did before
the various boards and judges.
MOTION (AMENDMENT) Hines moved that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board adopt
staff report #KZTA-01-7 as findings of fact and recommend that the
Kalispell City Council approve the proposal to allow multi -family
dwellings as a permitted use in the B-2, General Business District
and to delete accessory apartments from a conditionally permitted
use and add it as a permitted use. Sipe seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL VOTE On a roll call vote Stevens, Pierce, Rice, Hines and Sipe voted aye
and Garberg and Van Natta voted no. The motion passed with five
in favor and two in opposition.

CITY OF KALISPELL An amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance proposed by the
ZONING TEXT City of Kalispell that would amend the building height limits in
AMENDMENT several of the zoning use districts that are intended to provide
greater consistency among the regulations.
STAFF REPORT Narda Wilson of the Tri-City Planning Office gave a presentation of
staff report #KZTA-01-8 saying building height limits in the B-2
zone began a broader review of the building height limits in the
city. This was a proposal to amend various sections of the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance that would generally bring all of the
residential districts into sync by increasing the height limit to 35
feet. Wilson said all of the residential zones in Columbia Falls,
Whitefish and Flathead County have a 35-foot building height limit.
Within the commercial, industrial and public zones the height

limits were being recommended to be increased to allow a
maximum 60 feet with a conditional use permit and would be
subject to performance standards.
Stevens asked P J Sorensen how he had arrived at raising the
heights in five foot increments.
Sorensen said one factor was the surrounding communities are all
at 35 feet in residential zones, and during staff review and council
workshop meetings there was concern that property would be
purchased with the intent to build large structures which would
impact the neighboring residences.
Stevens asked why the RA-2 wasn't raised but the RA-3 was.
Sorensen said the RA-2 was High-Density Residential that
anticipates denser development, such as apartments.
Stevens asked why the P-l was reduced to 40 feet.
Sorensen they had actually increased it to 60 feet with a
conditional use permit.

TRI-CITY PLANNING OFFICE
STAFF REPORT KZTA-01-8
OCTOBER 2, 2001
A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council
regarding a request for an amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A public
hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell City -County Planning Board for October
9, 2001 beginning at 7:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning
board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action.
As a result of discussions with the planning board and subsequently the city council, the
City is requesting amendments to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to change the
maximum height limits in several of the zoning districts.
A. Petitioner: P.J. Sorensen, Zoning Administrator
City of Kalispell
P.O. Box 1997
Kalispell, MT 59903-1007
(406) 758-7732
B. Area Effected by the Proposed Changes: Any of the various zoning districts
which are proposed for amendment could be affected by the proposed changes.
This would include several of the residential, commercial and industrial zoning
districts in the planning jurisdiction
C. Proposed Amendments: This is a proposal to amend various sections of the
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance dealing with building heights. Generally, these
amendments bring all of the residential districts into sync by increasing the height
limit to 35 feet. All of the residential zones in the other jurisdictions have a 35-foot
building height limits. In the commercial, industrial and public zones the height
limits have been increased to allow a maximum 60 feet with a conditional use
permit. It has been recommended that the 60 foot building height limit would only
be allowed by conditional use permit and would be subject to performance
standards. The following is a summary of the proposed amendments.

For any situation requiring a conditional use permit, performance standards would
be included in Chapter 27.35 "Additional Requirements for Specific Conditional
Uses." Both the Site Development Review Committee and the Architectural Review
Committee were consulted in the development of these performance standards.
Those standards are as follows:
Additional Building Height. Structures requiring a conditional use permit
due to additional height shall, in addition to any other applicable standards,
be subject to the following standards:
(1) No additional height shall be allowed within 150 feet of any R or RA zone.
Any right-of-way adjacent to the subject property shall be excluded from the
measurement.
(2) No structure (subject to Section 27.22.070 regarding exceptions to height
regulations) shall extend above a 1:1 slope established with a beginning point
at the applicable setback line at an elevation equal to the elevation at natural
grade at the nearest point on the property line plus the maximum height
allowed in the zoning district.
(3) The Architectural Review Committee shall submit a recommendation
which shall be considered as a material factor in the consideration of the
application.
D. Staff Discussion: The intent of these amendments is to provide greater flexibility in
building design by increasing the height limit. Additionally, the conditional use
permit process for the building height limits up to 60 feet is intended to notice those
property owners most affected by the changes.
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 does not specifically address building height
issues. However, the increase building height would allow areas to be more fully
developed and greater density. The master plan encourages compact efficient use
of land. This amendment is in substantial compliance with the goals and policies
of the master plan to provide for compact and efficient development of the
commercial areas of the planning jurisdiction.
2
The proposed amendments would not generally impact the types of uses allowed in
a district, but would allow for an increase in the intensity of uses. The changes
would not have a substantial impact to increase or lessen congestion. Traffic
associated with the various uses would not generally be affected.
This amendment may not compromise the security and safety of the community
since any building would have to be constructed in accordance with the applicable
building and fire codes.
The proposed change in the zoning would have no direct relationship to the
promotion of the general health and welfare of the public. Health and safety codes
would be primary means of securing the health and welfare of the community.
Adequate light and air may be affected by this change because the potential height
of buildings could block light and air of the surrounding properties. Residential
zoning and residentially developed properties adjacent to taller buildings could
potentially be most affected. The increase in height limit could potentially block
light and air, thereby negatively impacting adjoining properties.
Development standards would provide additional flexibility and potential
additional density in the various zones zone by increasing the height limit.
However, this may not translate into an overcrowding of land, which would only
occur if there were inadequate infrastructure to serve the density in the area.
••. ., ... Well IT43rem GIFOYMP9.0,
Full public services and facilities would generally be anticipated to be available to
all areas, which are zoned and the adequate provision of services could be
provided. The proposed changes would not generally impact the facilitation of
public services.
The increase in the maximum height standards would potentially affect all areas of
the city where the amendments are proposed. However, not all of the district
would be utilizing this new height limit. Most of the buildings would utilize a more
traditional construction method, so the need or desire for taller buildings appears
to be somewhat limited in most situations.
3
n
The conditional use permit process proposed for the taller buildings as well as the
performance standards are intended to insure that reasonable consideration be
given to the character of the district that the taller buildings would potentially be
located in.
�I'Tmlffllmxel am.
The proposed text amendment will conserve the value of buildings by allowing for
flexibility in the architecture and construction of the new buildings and uses
within the districts. These uses are not necessarily anticipated to be more
intensive in nature.
Allowing an increase in the building height limit allows for a more compact and
efficient use of land and encourages greater density in the community. However,
there is a relatively limited need for taller buildings.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board adopt staff report
#KZTA-01-8 as findings of fact and, based on these findings, recommend to the Kalispell
City Council that the proposed amendments to the building height limits be adopted

For any situation requiring a conditional use permit, we propose that performance
standards be included in Chapter 27.35 "Additional Requirements for Specific Conditional Uses."
Both the Site Development Review Committee and the Architectural Review Committee were
consulted in the development of these performance standards. Those standards are as follows:
Additional Building Height. Structures requiring a conditional use permit due to
additional height shall, in addition to any other applicable standards, be subject to
the following standards:
(1) No additional height shall be allowed within 150 feet of any R or RA zone.
Any right-of-way adjacent to the subject property shall be excluded from the
measurement.
(2) No structure (subject to Section 27.22.070 regarding exceptions to height
regulations) shall extend above a 1:1 slope established with a beginning point at
the applicable setback line at an elevation equal to the elevation at natural grade at
the nearest point on the property line plus the maximum height allowed in the
zoning district.
(3) The Architectural Review Committee shall submit a recommendation which
shall be considered as a material factor in the consideration of the application.
Please let me know if there is any additional information you need in order to process this
request.

Narda Wilson, City Planner Dick Amerman, Asst. City Engineer
Dick Seddon, Fire Marshall Jim Brown, Assistant Police Chief
P. J. Sorensen, Zoning Administrator, Chair Kathy Kuhlm, Recording Secretary
OLD BUSINESS:
County Health Department Building - The are opting out o€the Zoning Ordinance.
Not sure when they will be getting their permit. The project will be going to the
Board of Adjustment Meeting on Wednesday, September 5.
Hospital Patient Towers - They are working on some revised drawings, and have
started the foundation work. The project is moving along.
NEW BUSINESS:
Building Height Standards - We are working on putting together new height
standards. The initial package was reviewed by the Council on Monday. The
standard would be 35 feet in a residential area. Commercial areas would be generally
be 40 ft and up to 60 feet (unlimited in the B-4) with a Conditional Use Permit.
Performance Standards need to be developed We will need to initiate a text
amendment. Architectural standards could be part of it. Three options were
discussed for setbacks from property lines. The first idea was the sloped approach
with a "zone" (similar to the Airport) to build in. The second would have additional
setbacks for portions of the building in excess of 40 ft. The third is what they do in
Whitefish, which limits the bulk of the building. Discussion was held and a 1:1 idea
was favored. (Example: An additional 20 feet up would add an additional 20 foot
setback for the portion of the building with added height) Measure from the nearest
point on the property line from the natural ground for the slope. Distance from a
residential zone - go across the street and then %: block (150 ft) from there.
Architectural Standards if over 40 feet with recommendation from ARC to the
Council as part of the Conditional Use Permit.
Drainage behind Willows Subdivision - Water is not draining. The Corp told the
County to fix it, and so they put an apron in. Dick Amerman will call Charlie Johnson
to see what the specific problem is. The Russell Drive culvert was initially
functioning. The Homeowners need to maintain this.
DNRC Annexation - DNRC is proposing annexation of the school section with a
PLID overlay. Jay Wentz is moving forward with the lease. Concerns about utility
extensions. Development pods. New model for State going into real estate
development. Land swap with residential. Could annex Four Mile Drive to make
North Haven wholly surrounded.
Peak Development Housing Proiect - Jackola will be in next week with plans for
an apartment complex on 3"' Ave E. The use is not permitted in that zone, so they
will need to address that issue before anything else. It was suggested that an alley be
put through to Fourth Avenue East for fire access. Multi family, multistory building.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
