Re: Hagerman, et al, Zone Change Request, RA-1 to RA-3
Dear Bruce:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
September 12, 1995 concerning the following item:
A request by William and Muriel Hagerman, et al, to amend the Official Zoning
Map of the City of Kalispell. The property subject to the request is currently
zoned RA-1 (Low Density Residential Apartment). The request is to change the
zoning to RA-3 (Residential Apartment/Office).
The staff report was presented by John Parsons of the Flathead Regional Development Office.
The applicant was unable to attend the hearing because of medical reasons. There was no one
that spoke in favor of or in opposition to the request at the hearing.
The Zoning Commission adopted FRDO Report #KZC-95-04 as findings of fact, and
unanimously recommended that the zone change from RA-1 to RA-3 be APPROVED. 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. This
recommendation is forwarded to City Council for final action on the petition for a zone change.
Please contact this Commission or FRDO if you have any questions.
Respectfully submitted,
KALISPELL CITY -COUNTY PLANNING BOARD AND ZONING COMMISSION

FRDO STAFF REPORT #KZC-95-04
AUGUST 29, a -a
William and Muriel Hagerman, et al, have petitioned to amend the Official Zoning Map of the
City of Kalispell. The, properties subject to the request are currently zoned RA-1. The request
is to change the zoning to RA-3 (Residential Apartment/Office), The zone change request is
subject to a public hearing before the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission on September 12, 1995. The hearing will begin at 7:00 P.M. in the Council
Chambers at City Hall, 312 1st Avenue East. A recommendation from that body will be
forwarded to the Kalispell City Council for final action.
The RA-3, Residential Apartment/Office zoning classification is defined by the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance as:
A residential apartment -office district to provide areas for professional,
governmental, and private offices, banks, and similar institutions, cultural and
governmental facilities and limited business at locations where they are
compatible with residential apartment uses and where it is not deemed desirable
to permit a more intensive business activity of a retail nature.
This district serves as a buffer zone between other commercial districts and
adjacent residential areas. The location of this district depends on proximity to
major streets, arterials, and business districts. This district shall be located within
or adjacent to business corridors, shopping islands or the Central Business
District.

EYALUATION BASED
-ON STAnaQRY QUIE;
The statutory procedure for evaluating zone changes is set forth by 76-2-303, M.C.A. Findings
of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the criteria described by 75-2-304,
M.C.A.
Does The Requested Zone Comply With The Master Plan?
The subject properties are within the jurisdiction of the Kalispell City -County Master Plan and
impacted by the Airport Neighborhood Plan. According to the Master Plan, the properties are
designated for "High Density Residential". This request is considered in conformance with the
Master Plan. The Airport Neighborhood Plan impacts the northeast corner of the subject
properties as can be seen on the attached vicinity map. This impact results from the Runway
Protection Zone (RPZ) adopted for the protection of the approaches to the runway, This RPZ
will limit any building of structures in the redevelopment of the properties to the area outside
of the RPZ, essentially the southwestern portion of the properties.
Will The Requested Zone Secure Safety From Fire, Panic And Other Dangers?
Development within the RA-3 zone is subject to certain standards including maximum building
height and the provision of off-street parking. Further, any development of the properties is
subject to review by the City's Site Plan Review Committee, and requires the issuance of City
building, plumbing, and mechanical permits. These requirements and review processes help
ensure that development of the properties subsequent to the zone change is done in a safe
manner. In addition, any specific development more intense than a duplex would require a
conditional use permit and/or subdivision approval.
One limitation to developing the comer property would be the Runway Protection Zone
constraints. This limitation is not considered severe enough to preclude development. However,
it does limit development to the southwestem portion of the property with parking allowed in
the eastern portion. Specific location of the RPZ would need to be identified at the time of
2
redevelopment of the property it affects. This specific location would be accomplished by
having it surveyed at the time the property is redeveloped.
Will The Requested Change Promote The Health And General Welfare?
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 and its amendments. The City's
Master Plan does support the requested zone change. This zone would not intrude on the health
or general welfare of this particular neighborhood and with proper site planning all properties
can be developed safely. The surrounding uses are considered compatible with the proposed
zoning classification.
Will The Requested Zone Provide For -Adequate Light And Air?
The parking, landscaping, and setback requirements of the zoning ordinance would ensure that
light and air are adequately provided when the properties are redeveloped.
Will The Requested Zone Change Prevent The Overcrowding of Land?
Overcrowding of land can occur when development out -paces or exceeds the environmental or
service limitations of the property. Adequate infrastructure is in place in the area to
accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested zone. Access is to the properties is
supplied from Airport Road, a designated Collector, and 18th Street West, a designated Minor
Arterial.
Will The Requested Zone Avoid Undue Concentration Of People?
Concentration of people is a function of land use. Development would occur more intensely on
the properties if the zone change is approved than would occur if no rezone occurs. The uses
associated with the RA-3 zoning designation anticipate a certain concentration of people and
intensity of uses and should not create a undue hardship on the neighborhood.
Is The Requested Zone Designed To Lessen Congestion In The Street And Facilitate The
Adequate Provision Of Transportation, Water, Sewer, Schools Parks And Other Public
Requirements?
As indicated in the Master Plan, the RA-3 zone is designed to be utilized for this area. Airport
Road and 18th Street access was expected to serve these properties and also was expected to
serve as access to the north into downtown Kalispell. The development constraints of the RA-3
zone are designed to lessen congestion in the streets for any development by requiring additional
review and a conditional use permit for development more intense than a duplex. Additional
demands for transportation, water, and sewer collection as a result of development of the
properties would be evaluated pursuant to individual development proposals. Adequate services

The properties under consideration in this proposal fit the character of the district because the
Master Plan for this area calls out for Nigh Density development and the intent of the zone fits
this location. The Master Plan indicates the need for additional affordable housing in ' spell
and the intent of the zone indicates this to be a good location. The zone is designed for
multifamily uses customarily considered to be the most affordable type of housing. The
requested zone change is not out of character with the surrounding city as proposed by the
Master Plan.
Would The Proposed Zoning Conserve The Value Of The Buildings?
The properties are currently developed with dwellings and apartments and would be redeveloped
into residential and low intensity commercial uses. A change to the RA-3 zone should not
significantly impact, erode, or devalue the neighborhood beyond the type of uses that are
currently allowed or that exist in the area, those being residential and commercial. If these
properties were to be developed as apartments, a conditional use permit would be required.
Will The Requested Zone Change Encourage The Most Appropriate Use Of The Land
Throughout The Jurisdiction?
The requested zoning classification is consistent with the Kalispell City -County Master Plan.
This type of zone and its associated land uses are expected in this area and would provide the
City with additional housing units if developed. The Plan map specifically identifies this
location for this type of zone. The neighborhood consists of residential and non-residential uses
and zones. The proposed zone change would be the most appropriate use of the land.
4
The Kalispell City/County Master Plan designated this general area as High Density Residential.
The Master Plan anticipates the uses in this neighborhood. The surrounding uses are considered
compatible with the proposed RA-3 zoning designation with proper site planning.
It is recommended that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt
this staff report as findings of fact and forward a favorable recommendation to City Council for
the requested zone change.
