Second Reading on the Initial RA-1, Low Density Residential
Apartment, Zoning for Whitefish Stage Condominiums
November 19, 2001
BACKGROUND: This is the second reading on the initial zoning for Whitefish Stage
Condominiums of City RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment. The district has
minimum lot width of 60 feet and a minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square
feet plus an additional 3,000 square feet for each additional unit beyond a duplex. It
allows duplexes and single-family homes as permitted uses and multi -family
dwellings as a conditionally permitted use. The property proposed for annexation and
zoning is located on the north side of Granrud Lane and the west side of Whitefish
Stage Road in the northeast part of Kalispell. The developer has petitioned annexation
and initial zoning concurrent with an application for preliminary plat of a 304 unit
residential subdivision known as Whitefish Stage Condominiums. The area proposed
for annexation and zoning contains approximately 38.4 acres.
On November 5, 2001 the Kalispell City Council approved the development proposal
and initial zoning on first reading. The Kalispell City -County Planning Board held a
public hearing at their regular meeting of October 9, 2001 regarding the proposal and
voted unanimously to forward a recommendation that initial zoning for this property
should be RA-1, Low Density Residential Apartment, upon annexation.
ECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the second reading of the ordinance for RA -
zoning upon annexation would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
