REPORT TO: Kalispell Mayor and City Council
FROM: Narda A. Wilson, Senior Planner
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Protest on Mohrenweiser Zone Change R-3 to RA-3 -
Meridian Road / Highway 93
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2001
BACKGROUND: At the regular meeting of August 6, 2001, the council voted five in favor
and four opposed to approve the first reading of the zone change from R-3, Residential, to
RA-3, Residential Apartment / Office. The properties proposed for rezoning are located
east of North Meridian Road, west of Highway 93 and north of Underhill Street. The
properties contain approximately 2.91 acres that are currently undeveloped.
At the August 20, 2001 meeting, property owners in the area submitted a petition
protesting the proposed zone change. According to the Montana Code Annotated,
Section 76-2-305(2), Alteration of zoning regulations - protest, "An amendment may not
become effective except upon a favorable vote of two thirds of the present and voting
members of the city or town council or legislative body of the municipality if a protest
against a change pursuant to subsection (1) is signed by the owners of 25 percent or
more of: (a) the area of the lots included in any proposed change; or (b) those lots 150
feet from a lot included in the proposed change."
The petition submitted by the property owners in the area included many properties that
were outside of the 150 foot limit stated in the protest provision. Using the certified list
provided with the zone change application, the Tri-City Planning Office carefully counted
the number of lots included in the list that represented the 150 foot area around the
property proposed for rezoning. There is a total of 39 individual tracts of record within
150 feet of the subject property according the to original certified list. Three of those
"lots" are small segments of City right-of-way and one "lot' is a small segment of State
right-of-way which were subtracted. There is a total of 35 individual tracts of record
within 150 feet of the property proposed for rezoning as certified by the County Plat
Room and originally submitted by the applicant. Out of those 35, there were nine valid
signatures on the petition representing nine lots, primarily property owners along
Underhill Court and Arizona Street, who protested the zone change. Those nine property
owners who protested represent 25.7 percent of the lots within 150 feet.
On Monday, September 10, 2001 the applicants provided the Tri-City Planning Office
with a revised list of property owners within 150 feet certified by the Flathead County
Plat Room and intended to be more accurate than the original list submitted with the
Providing Community Planning Assistance To:
• City of Kalispell • City of Columbia Falls • City of Whitefish

application. This list included several more properties, primarily on the west side of
Meridian Road. Using the revised list, there is a total of 41 individual lots within 150 feet
and ten valid signatures on the petition representing ten lots. This would change those
who protested from 25.7 percent to 24.3 percent. Taking the protest below the 25
percent that would require a two-thirds majority of the council for approval of the zone
change. However, there appears to be some problems with the revised list because
although it picks up more properties, it does not appear to be entirely accurate because
it excludes properties included in the original list.
There appears to be at least three options: (1) use the certified list of property owners
filed with the application allowing the 25 percent protest to stand and require the
applicant to gain a favorable vote of two-thirds of the council; (2) using the revised list,
notify those property owners within 150 feet and hold another public hearing; or (3) use
the revised list of property owners and recognize the 24.3 percent protest which would
require a simple majority of the council to pass the zone change. However, there are
some obvious inherent problems in using one list for the original notification and another
list to count the valid protests.
If the council goes with the first option, owners of 25 percent or more of the lots within
150 feet of the proposed zone change have protested the zone change. A two thirds
majority, or six of the nine members or eight of the nine members, voting in favor would
be required to pass the zone change. More specifically "two thirds of the present and
voting members" is required to pass the zone change.
The second option may also be feasible. Consideration should be given to additional
advertising costs and staff time and whether or not those costs should be borne by the
applicant, should this option be considered.
The third option of using the revised list to determine the percentage of valid protests
could expose the council to some potential legal problems because those property owners
counted in the revised list would not have been included in the original notification and
public hearing process.
Attached to this memo is a copy of a vicinity map of the area numbering the lots within
150 feet of the property proposed for rezoning using the original list. These numbers
correspond to the original adjoining landowners list that was submitted with the
application, also attached. You may notice that there are some very small parcels that
were counted as a "lot" because they listed as a separate tract of record with the County
Plat Room. Multiple lots under single ownership, under a single assessor number were
also counted as individual lots because they are recorded as a separate tract of record.
Shaded areas indicate those lots where property owners protested the zone change. A
list of the nine property owners within 150 feet of the subject parcel who were included
in the protest is also attached. A copy of the map indicating the revised boundaries has
also been included.
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board voted on this matter at their regular meeting of
July 10, 2001 where the board recommended approval of the proposal on a vote of six in
favor and one opposed.

.RECOMMENDATION: Recognize the protest using the original list of properties. In this
case, a two thirds majority of the present and voting members of the council will need to
vote in favor of the second reading. If there is not a two thirds majority of the present
and voting members of the council who vote in favor of the second reading, the zone
change will have been defeated by protest.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts once developed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the city council.
