Re: Planning Board Consideration of the Airport Urban Renewal Plan -
Tax Increment Finance District and Improvement Bonding
Dear Al:
The Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning Commission held their regular meeting
of May 14, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. in Kalispell City Council Chambers to consider the Kalispell
Airport Urban Renewal Plan in accordance with, Section 7-15-4213(1) M.C.A. states that "Prior
to the approval of an urban renewal project, the local governing body shall submit the urban
renewal project to the planning commission of the municipality for review and recommendations
as to its conformity with the comprehensive plan or parts thereof for the development of the
municipality as a whole. "
A staff report was presented by Narda Wilson of the Flathead Regional Development Office
describing the Airport Plan boundaries, the Tax Increment Finance District boundaries and how
the financing mechanisms facilitate the anticipated improvements.
Larry Gallagher with the Department of Community Department elaborated on the goals of the
plan and the financing methods. Gib Bissell, chairman of the Airport Advisory Board, also
spoke in favor the Plan stating that the upgrades to the airport would serve many diverse
interests,
The Board discussed the Airport Urban Renewal and agreed that it is a valuable project for the
City as well as the community. They noted that the Airport Urban Renewal Plan will implement
the goals of the Kalispell Airport Neighborhood Plan, improve infrastructure and investment
opportunities in the area as well as increase the tax base.
The Planning Board recommends that the City Council move ahead with the creation of the tax
increment finance district and the implementation of the Airport Urban Renewal Plan. This
matter has been scheduled for public hearing at the regular meeting of the City Council on June
17, 1996.

REPORTSTAFF ,
MAY 3, 1996
A report to the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding
the Kalispell Airport Urban Renewal Plan. A meeting on this matter has been scheduled before
the Kalispell City -County Planning Board for May 14, 1996 and a public hearing has been
scheduled before the City Council for June 17, 1996.
In 1994, the Kalispell City Council and the Flathead County Board of Commissioners adopted
the Kalispell City Airport Neighborhood Plan as an amendment to the Kalispell City County
Master Plan. This Plan outlines improvements for the Kalispell Airport and recommendations
for implementation. Elements of the Plan include relocating the existing ballfields and
redevelopment of the site for commercial / industrial uses; upgrading the airport to FAA
standards; improving the existing infrastructure; and creating opportunities for private
investment.
The City of Kalispell hopes to accomplish these goals, in part, by creating a tax increment
finance district so that bonds may be issued to finance the necessary improvements.
The City of Kalispell Department of Planning, Economic and Community Development has
prepared a document titled the "Kalispell City Airport / Athletic Complex Redevelopment Plan
Analysis." This document is approximately 40 pages in length and provides a detailed
documentation of the properties included within the neighborhood plan, identifying publicly
owned property, leasehold interests and privately owned properties. It also provides a detailed
analysis of relocation costs for the recreational facilities and associated costs and discusses the
financing alternatives for the redevelopment of the area and airport improvements.
The report concludes by stating that the goals of the Airport Urban Renewal Plan are to
eliminate blight in the area, upgrade the existing facilities and provide profitable, private
investment opportunities. This is recommended to be accomplished through the sale of surplus
land or through a tax increment financed urban renewal project; or through a combination of
both.
AREA BOUNDARIES
The Airport Neighborhood Plan boundaries are shown the map included with this staff report
as Attachment A which indicates that it is bordered on the north by 18th Street East, south along
Airport Road to the soccer fields and then turns east and jogs south for a quarter mile, jogs east
for a quarter mile, jogs south approximately a third of a mile to Cemetery Road, runs east for
a quarter mile and then jogs north for approximately one third of a mile to Highway 93 South.
1
The Plan's western boundary follows US Highway 93 South back to 18th Street East. The Plan
area contains approximately 122 acres of private property and approximately 135 acres of City -
owned property. 1-k tt C r -.
w
19
The Tax Increment Finance (T.I.F.) District boundarie vary from the Neighborhood Plan
boundaries in that they extend beyond the Plan boundaries to the west and follow Ashley Creek.
Additionally the T.I.F. District boundaries follow the city limits along the south and include the
Haven Ballfields along the east. The T.I.F. District boundaries follow the city limits because
of certain bond issuance limitations and restrictions for areas outside the city limits. The area
included within the Plan boundaries, but outside the T.I.F. District may be considered for
annexation into the future and subsequent inclusion into the T.I.F. District.
The area within the Tax Increment Finance District would be eligible for low interest loans for
urban renewal, rehabilitation and construction of new building, thereby increasing the City's tax
base. The increased revenue will be used to pay off the bonding obligations within a relatively
short period of time, and will ultimately generate more tax revenue for the City. A more
detailed explanation and analysis of the financing options, enabling state statues and long term
benefits can be found in the "Kalispell Airport / Athletic Complex Redevelopment Plan
Analysis."
KALISPELL CITY -COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
Parts 42 and 43 of the Montana Code Annotated are cited as the "Urban Renewal Law." Part
42 provides a statement of policy in blighted areas, the need for redevelopment and rehabilitation
of blighted areas as well as the preparation of an urban renewal plan. Section 7-15-4213 through
Section 7-15-4215 outlines the responsibilities of the Planning Commission and hearing
requirements on the urban renewal plan. Part 43 provides for the authorization to issue urban
renewal bonds, infrastructure development bonds, obligations for the repayment of bonds and
other financing elements.
With regard the Planning Commission, Section 7-15-4213(1) states that "Prior to the approval
of an urban renewal project, the local governing body shall submit the urban renewal project to
the planning commission of the municipality for review and recommendations as to its
conformity with the comprehensive plan or parts thereof for the development of the municipality
as a whole."
Further, Section 7-15-4213(2) states, "The planning commission shall submit its written
recommendations with respect to the proposed urban renewal plan to the local governing body
within 60 after receipt of it."
Subsequent to the recommendation of the Planning Commission the City Council will hold a
public hearing. This public hearing has been scheduled for June 17, 1996. All of the property
owners within the proposed Tax Increment Finance District will be notified by mail. This notice
will include the date and time of hearing, area proposed for the urban renewal and a general
2
Staff would recommend the Planning Board provide the City Council with a recommendation
for approval of the proposed Kalispell Airport Urban Renewal Plan as presented for the
following reasons:
1. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will implement the goals of the Kalispell Airport
Neighborhood Plan, an addendum the Kalispell City -County Master Plan.
2. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will eliminate existing blight conditions; provide
rehabilitation, redevelopment and development opportunities.
3. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will improve the existing infrastructure and airport
operations.
4. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will provide for profitable, private investment
opportunities.
5. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will provide the opportunity to improve the existing
recreational facilities which may be relocated to the State Lands property on Highway
93 North and Four Mile Drive.
6. The Airport Urban Renewal Plan will benefit the community and municipality by
increasing the tax base for the City of Kalispell. -
Staff would further recommend that the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission formulate a recommendation to be presented to the City Council prior to the public
hearing scheduled for June 17, 1996.
