08. Resolution 4213 - Church of Latter Day Saints - Zone Change and AnnexationRESOLUTION NO. 4213
A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, A TRACT
OF LAND DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", TO BE KNOWN AS L.D.S. ADDITION
NO. 264; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, RA-1, TO
AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY AND TO DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell has received a petition from
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints, the owners of the
property described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and thereby made
a part hereof, requesting that the City of Kalispell annex the
territory into the City, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a
report on L.D.S. Addition No. 264, City Zone Request, KA-95-4,
dated April 25, 1995, and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission recommended that the territory be annexed into the City
of Kalispell and be zoned Low Density Residential, RA-1, and
WHEREAS, based upon the report of the Flathead Regional
Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is appropriate based upon the
following criterion:
Does the Requested Zone Comply with the Master Plan?
The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the
Kalispell City -County Master Plan. According to the map
of the master plan, the property is currently designated
as "High Density Residential". RA-1 is considered in
compliance with the Master Plan.
Does the Requested Zone Lessen Congestion in the Streets?
Congestion in the streets is caused by an overburden of
traffic on the street system. The zone in this case
would not cause undue congestion because traffic
generation is a function of the number of dwelling units
that are allowed within a given area. If the property is
subdivided/developed it would be in a manner that is
equivalent to the existing County RA-1 zone. It should
be noted that Whitefish Stage Road is due to be upgraded.
There is no schedule for this upgrade and funding has not
been accomplished. It would, however, be expected to
occur within the next 3-10 years. This upgrade would
probably require the road right-of-way to be increased
1
from 60 feet to 80 feet. Any development of this
€` property should take into account the increased right-of-
way width of this road. With proper site planning the
property appears to be of sufficient size to accommodate
any additional right-of-way requirements.
Will the Requested Zone Secure Safety from Fire, Panic
and Other Dangers?
Development within this zone is subject to development
standards including: lot coverage, maximum building
height, and the provision of off-street parking. Any
development of the property is subject to review by the
City, and requires the issuance of building, plumbing,
and mechanical permits. These requirements and review
processes help ensure that development of the property
subsequent to the zone change is done in a safe manner.
No significant negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Change Promote the Health and General
Welfare? r-
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to
promote the general health and welfare and does so by
implementing the City -County Master Plan. The City -
County Master Plan would support the requested zone
change. Designation of this area as RA-1 would have
little or no impact. Any traffic generation that the
proposed change allows would be mitigated at the time of
development. Any impact to stormwater runoff, sewers,
and water would also be addressed at the time of
development proposals.
The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public
input and review for all zone change requests. This
process offers an opportunity to ensure that any changes
to the Official Zoning Map are done in the general public
interest. Additionally, other review mechanisms are in
place to ensure that development is in compliance with
all applicable safety codes. No significant negative
impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Provide for Adequate Light and
Air?
The development standards of the zoning ordinance and
subdivision regulations (i.e.: parking, landscaping,
clear vision setback, roadway improvements, etc.) would
ensure that light and air are adequately provided.
K
Will the Requested Zone Change Prevent the Overcrowding
of Land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or
exceeds the environmental or service limitations of the
property. The Subdivision, Zoning and Building
regulations control the intensity requirements that a
property can be developed with. Adequate infrastructure
is in place or can be provided at the time of development
to accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested
zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Avoid Undue Concentration of
People?
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted
by a particular zone. The proposed change would have no
impact on residential density in the area. Infra-
structure exists or can be provided which supports the
proposed change. The zoning ordinance covers the
intensity of use that would be permitted in this zone.
An undue concentration of people would result if the
property is developed at a level which exceeds the
environmental or service carrying capacity of the land
which would not happen. The proposed zoning would ensure
that the site is properly developed. No significant
negative impact is expected.
Will the Requested Zone Facilitate the Adequate Provision
of Transportation, Water, Sewer, Schools, Parks and Other
Public Requirements?
The additional demands for transportation, water, and
sewer will be evaluated pursuant to individual
development proposals; existing infrastructure exists in
the vicinity (North Valley Sewer and Evergreen Water
Districts) which should be able to serve development of
this property. Schools and parks should not be any more
impacted under the existing County zone than would be
under the proposed City zone. No significant negative
impact is expected.
Does the Requested Zone Give Consideration to the
Particular Suitability of the Property for Particular
Uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted
within the RA-1 zone because of availability of services
and access to a major thoroughfare. The property is of
adequate size for the type of uses permitted and
conditionally allowed in the proposed zone. No
significant negative impact is expected.
3
Does the Requested Zoning Give Reasonable Consideration
to the Character of this District?
The property in question is well suited for the type
development anticipated under the requested zone because
of the topography, access, regional location, access to
schools, access to urban services, and size of the
proposal. In addition the Master Plan for the area
anticipates this type of zone in this area. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Would the Proposed Zoning Conserve the Value of the
Buildings?
The subject request would not significantly impact
buildings. There are no known uses that would be
affected by this zone. A change from County RA-1 to the
City RA-1 zone will not significantly impact, erode, or
devalue the neighborhood beyond the type of uses that are
currently allowed or that exist in the area as this is a
lateral zone change. No significant negative impact is
expected.
Will the Requested Zone Change Encourage the Most
Appropriate Use of the Land Throughout the Jurisdiction?
Appropriateness of a zone is determined by the Kalispell
City -County Master Plan. The Plan and the existing
zoning classifications in the area identify this area for
the uses permitted within the requested zone. Therefore,
the change would encourage the most appropriate use of
the land. No significant negative impact is expected.
The proposed City zone merely continues the property's
zoning classification from the County zone.
WHEREAS, on the 3rd day of April, 1989 the City Council of the
City of Kalispell adopted, pursuant to Section 7-2-4610, Montana
Code Annotated, an Extension of Services Plan which anticipates
development of City services for approximately five years in the
future, and
WHEREAS, the City has caused to be developed a "mini -extension
of services plan", attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and thereby made
a part hereof, for the territory by this Resolution annexed to the
City of Kalispell, and

the extension of municipal services or maintenance of existing
services within the area of L.D.S. Addition No. 264, subject to
annexation, including water, sewer, storm drainage, streets,
garbage collection, police protection and fire protection, and
4
WHEREAS, said "mini -extension of services plan" provides for
4 financing the extension of municipal services or maintenance of
existing services by utilizing funds allocated and expended,
pursuant to the annual City budget without incurring additional
bonded indebtedness, and
WHEREAS, L.D.S. Addition No. 264 is included within and
conforms to the Kalispell City -County Master Plan, and
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell desires to annex said property
in accordance with Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 46, Montana Code
Annotated.

Re: Recommendation of Zoning for L.D.S. Addition No. 264
Dear Bruce:
Phone: (406) 758-5780
The Kalispell City —County Planning Board and Zoning Commission met on May 9,
1995, and held a public hearing on the following agenda item:
A request by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints for
annexation to the City of Kalispell with an initial zoning classification of
RA-1 (Low Density Residential). The parcel contains approximately 4.5 acres
located about 500 feet north of West Reserve Drive on the west side of
Whitefish Stage Road. The site is located in the SE4 of Section 5, Township
28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
During the public hearing, the representative for the applicant spoke in favor of
the requested zoning classification upon annexation. No one spoke in opposition.
- By unanimous vote, the Commission adopted FRDO Report #KA-95-4 as findings of
fact, and recommend to the City Council that the subject property be zoned RA-1
upon annexation into the City of Kalispell.
This recommendation for zoning is forwarded to the City Council for a subsequent
public hearing and final action. Council needs to wait for the minutes of the
Planning Board meeting prior to taking final action on this matter. However, this
does not preclude discussion at Council workshop. Please contact the Commission
or the FRDO if you have any questions.

Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the criteria
described by 76-2-304, M.C.A.
Does The Reauested Zone Comply With The Master Plan?

coverage, maximum building height, and the provision of off-street parking. Any
development of the property is subject to review by the City, and requires the
issuance of building, plumbing, and mechanical permits. These requirements and
review processes help ensure that development of the property subsequent to the
zone change is done in a safe manner. No significant negative impact is expected.

uses that would be affected by this zone. A change from County RA-1 to the City
RA-1 zone will notsignificantly impact, erode, or devalue the neighborhood beyond
the type of uses that are currently allowed or that exist in the area as this is a
lateral zone change. No significant negative impact is expected.

PREPARED BY THE
REGIONALFLATHEAD DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
The subject property is within the Service Area Boundary of the City of Kalispell as
described by the Extension of Services Plan adopted by the City of Kalispell on April
3, 1989 (Resolution #3838). This broad -based extension of services plan together
with this "mini -plan" comprise the Extension of Services Plan for the LDS Addition
No. 264 annexation.
EXISTING SERVICES:
Water: Evergreen Water District has a 12 inch water line in Whitefish Stage. This
main should have sufficient capacity to serve this site when the connection is
made.
Sewer: A 12 inch sanitary sewer line exists in an easement at the west end of the
property. This line has sufficient capacity to service this property when the
connection is made.
Storm Drainage: There is not established storm drain system in the area all storm
drainage would be retained on site.
Streets: Whitefish Stage is a County maintained 60 foot arterial. It is a two lane
travel surface with no pedestrian access. The travel surface is worn and the street
gets congested. The upgrade of Whitefish Stage to an 80 foot right-of-way and
arterial design is a priority but no funding or time frame has been established. A
pedestrian trail from Reserve Drive to Fairway Boulevard Townhomes along
Whitefish Stage Road serving this site is scheduled for the fall of 1995. Buffalo
Stage is a newly constructed two lane City street which can provide a second access
to the development.
Garbage Collection: Available by contract from private companies.
Police Protection: Currently the Flathead County Sheriff's Department.
Fire Protection: Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department.
0
Water: Water supply would be able to be extended to the property from the
Evergreen Water District water line in Whitefish Stage Road. if not, a water main
must be extended to connect with a main of sufficient capacity to serve this
property or other alternative be Installed. Capacity and any extensions would be
evaluated at the review stage of any development permit.
Sewer: Sewer would be fed into the 12 inch main In an utility easement at the west
side of the property and would feed into the City's sewerage disposal plant. This
disposal system would be evaluated during the review phase of any development
permit. The main has sufficient capacity at this time to service this site.
Storm Drainage: On -site retention and/or disposal of storm water will be evaluated
during the review phase of any proposed development.
Streets: Whitefish Stage Road and Buffalo Stage are two lane paved roads with
sufficient capacity to serve this site. it should be noted that Whitefish Stage Road
has been upgraded to major arterial status. This upgrade will require additional
right-of-way to a total of 80 feet. Any development of the property should address
any additional right-of-way needs of this upgrade.
Garbage Collection: The City has the capacity and equipment to handle the needs
of this site at the time it becomes eligible for municipal service.
Police/Fire: City of Kalispell Police Department and Fire Department will be available
to serve the tract upon annexation. They will be able to provide "service" to this
property on substantially the same basis and in the same manner in which this
service is currently provided to the rest of the municipality.
EXTENSION AND FINANCE STRATEGIES:
The cost of extending such public services as police and fire protection are
expected to be negligible. The general source of money to extend these type of
services is from the general tax revenues received from this property and other
properties inside the City limits. Individual improvements to the property,
including the extension of the water line, sewer line, and stormwater management
improvements, will be the responsibility of the developer/landowner. Any area -
wide improvements relative to a comprehensive storm drainage system will be
financed in part by the residents of the entire municipality and in part by special
assessments for that purpose.

The subject property is within the Service Area Boundary of the City of Kalispell as
described by the Extension of Services Plan adopted by the City of Kalispell on April
3, 1989 (Resolution #3838). This broad -based extension of services plan together

made.
Sewer: A 12 inch sanitary sewer line exists in an easement at the west end of the
property. This line has sufficient capacity to service this property when the
connection is made.
Storm Drainage: A storm drain exists for the Buffalo Stage Subdivision inside the
City limits. This system exists to the northwest of the LDS Annexation; if there is
adequate capacity and depth this system may be used for disposal of stormwater.
The depth appears to be 5 feet below the surface, which is felt to be rather
shallow. If this storm drain system cannot accommodate all or a part of the runoff
of development of the annexed property, then that part that cannot be
accommodated would be retained on site.
Streets: Whitefish Stage is a County maintained 60 foot arterial. It is a two lane
travel surface with no pedestrian access. The travel surface is worn and the street
gets congested. The upgrade of Whitefish Stage to an 80 foot right-of-way and
arterial design is a priority but no funding or time frame has been established. A

Storm Dralnaae: Retention and/or disposal of storm water will be evaluated during
the review phase of any proposed development. An existing storm drain system
exists in the area which may, in part, be utilized for storm water disposal.
Streets: Whitefish Stage Road and Buffalo Stage are two lane paved roads with
sufficient capacity to serve this site. It should be noted that Whitefish Stage Road
has been upgraded to major arterial status. This upgrade will require additional
right-of-way to a total of 80 feet. Any development of the property should address
any additional right-of-way needs of this upgrade.
Garbage Collection: The City has the capacity and equipment to handle the needs
of this site at the time it becomes eligible for municipal service.
Police/Fire: City of Kalispell Police Department and Fire Department will be available
to serve the tract upon annexation. They will be able to provide "service" to this
property on substantially the same basis and in the same manner in which this
service is currently provided to the rest of the municipality.
EXTENSIaN AND FINANCE STRATEGIES:
The cost of extending such public services as police and fire protection are
expected to be negligible. The general source of money to extend these type of
services is from the general tax revenues received from this property and other
properties inside the City limits. Individual improvements to the property,
including the extension of the water line, sewer line, and stormwater management
improvements, will be the responsibility of the developer/landowner. Any area -
wide improvements relative to a comprehensive storm drainage system will be
financed in part by the residents of the entire municipality and in part by special
assessments for that purpose.
