Second Reading Kalispell Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment -
Multi -Family Dwellings / Accessory Apartments as a Permitted
Use in B-2
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2001
BACKGROUND: This is the second reading on an amendment to the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance, Section 27.14.020, Permitted Uses in the B-2, General Business,
zoning district to allow multi -family dwellings and accessory apartments as permitted
uses. Any properties with a B-2, General Business, zoning designation could
potentially be affected by the proposed change. The applicant owns property near
the Outlaw Inn in south Kalispell and is interested in developing a multi -family
dwelling complex on the site. Staff recommended approval of allowing multi -family
in the B-2 because it would expand mixed use opportunities to meet the growing
demand for a variety of housing types; promote transportation efficiency and
pedestrian circulation by placing housing, jobs, and shopping in close proximity to
each other in a town center; promote efficient use of existing infrastructure and
services; expand the customer base of businesses.
On November 5, 2001 the Kalispell City Council passed an ordinance on first reading
that allows multi -family dwellings and accessory apartments as permitted uses in the
B-2, General Business, zoning district as recommended by the Kalispell City -County
Planning Board at their regular meeting of October 9, 2001.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to adopt the ordinance on second reading to allow
multi -family dwellings and accessory apartments as permitted uses in the B-2,
General Business, zoning district would be in order.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Potentially minor positive effects.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
