SUBJECT: KPP-15-02 — Subdivision #290 (Gateway West Mall) Preliminary Plat
Request
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2015
BACKGROUND: Kalispell Investor's, LLC, is requesting a major subdivision of the 16.501 acre
Gateway West Mall property, into two commercial lots consisting of 2.017 and 14.484 acres. The
proposed 2.017 acre parcel is located along the east side of Financial Drive, northwest of the
Gateway West Mall, and is currently undeveloped grasslands. The remaining 14.484 acre parcel is
developed with the Gateway West Mall and surface parking facilities. The land use of the parcel
being created is not known at this time, but will have to comply with the B-2 Zoning. The property
can be described as Lot 2 of Gateway West Addition 34 in the NE1/4SE1/4 of Section 12, Township
28N, Range 22W, PMM, Flathead County Montana. The address is 1203 and 1215 Highway 2 West,
Kalispell, MT.
The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing June 9, 2015, to consider the
application request. Staff presented staff report KPP-15-02 providing details of the proposal and
evaluation. Staff noted some corrections to the staff report conditions which included changing the
language in the conditions of approval from "prior to final plat" to "prior to building permit issuance"
on page 5. Staff reported that the proposed preliminary plat was consistent with the subdivision
regulations, the zoning, and the growth policy. Staff recommended that the Planning Board adopt the
staff report as findings of fact and recommend to the City Council that the preliminary plat be
approved, subject to conditions.
There was no public comment regarding the application. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KPP-15-02 as findings of fact,
and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat be approved, subject to
conditions. Board discussion concluded that the preliminary plat was appropriate, and the motion
passed unanimously on roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the resolution
for the preliminary plat, subject to conditions.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request will allow the applicant to proceed with development
of the site, which in turn will have positive fiscal impact.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Jenny LaSorte, 275 Sulky Lane in Kalispell — Casino Scenarios
Her preferences are no casinos permitted 150 feet north of Idaho
Street. She noted there was recently a late night stabbing outside a
casino and that there are 27 casinos within the Kalispell city limits.
Vice attracts vice. She noted we have reached our casino
saturation point, as a city, and she does not want another casino in
north Kalispell.
In north Kalispell schools, medical, shopping and athletic facilities
predominate. Businesses suggestive of a lower demographic such
as pawn shops, check cashing stores, DUI bail bond businesses,
thrift stores and tattoo shops crop up around casinos. None of
these businesses exist in north Kalispell.
Setbacks should be increased to 600 feet, at a minimum. She
noted her preference would be that no more casinos be allowed,
but if the state awards the casino licenses and there is no option
but to accept them within the city limits, then accept only the
number that will fit into the casino overlay district that is created,
in an area where casinos already exist, and where a pattern of
historic use has existed, not in north Kalispell.
PRELIMINARY PLAT —
A request from Kalispell Investor's, LLC for a major subdivision
SUBDIVISION #290 —
of the 16.501 acre Gateway West Mall property into two
GATEWAY WEST
commercial lots.
STAFF REPORT
Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department,
reviewed staff report KPP-15-02 for the board.
Nygren noted a correction to the staff report on the bottom of page
5 it indicates "Prior to final plat:" and it should read, "Prior to the
issuance of a building permit:" This includes conditions 3 — 9 &
11. Conditions 10 & 12 should be under the heading "Prior to
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of June 9, 2015
Page I 1
final plat:"
Nygren reviewed the site plan, and noted the growth policy
designation is commercial, which anticipates a wide variety of
retail and service orientated commercial activities. The
preliminary plat is consistent with the subdivision regulations,
zoning and growth policy.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell Planning Board and Zoning
Commission adopt staff report KPP-15-02 as findings of fact and
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the preliminary plat
be approved subject to the 14 conditions listed in the staff report.
BOARD DISCUSSION
None.
PUBLIC HEARING
Richard Lowitz, 52 Grandview Drive, Kalispell asked what is
proposed to go in the lot? Nygren said at this time there is no
proposed use however it will be a commercial use.
MOTION
Lorch moved and Pesola seconded a motion to adopt staff report
KPP-15-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell
City Council that the preliminary plat be approved subject to the
14 conditions listed in the staff report, with the amendments
recommended by staff above.
BOARD DISCUSSION
None.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.

ZONE CHANGE
STAFF REPORT
Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department,
reviewed staff report KGPA-15-02 & KZC-15-02 for the board.
Nygren reviewed the project site and noted the requested growth
policy amendment would change the land use designation of the
9.55 acre property from high density residential to urban mixed
use, and the zone change would change the zoning from
residential to health care. The hospital needs additional surface
parking facilities to better accommodate the hospital's growth, and
the current zoning does not permit surface parking facilities.
The urban mixed use land use category allows for a multitude of
uses including commercial, office and multi -family housing and is
consistent with the existing urban mixed -use land use designation
of the health care development to the south and west of the subject
property.
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of June 9, 2015
Page 12
Nygren reviewed the surrounding zoning and land uses. He noted
the need to expand the parking is currently the reason the growth
policy and zone change proposed and he added the entire site plan
is not currently under review. The board will be considering
whether the expansion into this area for the hospital is the
appropriate use.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell Planning Board and Zoning
Commission adopt staff report KGPA-15-02 as findings of fact
and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the growth
policy land use designation be Urban Mixed Use on the Kalispell
Growth Policy Future Lane Use. It is further recommended that
the board authorize the President to sign the Resolution KGPA-15-
02 recommending the amendment to the growth policy.
Staff also recommends that the planning board adopt staff report
KZC-15-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the city council
that the zoning on the 9.55 acre site be H-1 (Health Care) on the
Kalispell Zoning Map.
BOARD DISCUSSION Osorio-Khor asked if the property is currently being used as a
parking lot and Nygren said yes.
Regier asked the difference between H-1 and H-1/PUD and
Nygren said this request would extend the H-1 zone not the PUD.
Nygren noted the PUD's were created for the hospital to apply
additional development standards for the hospital use itself.
Jentz added the PUD specifically addressed the hospital's need for
multiple stories and provided provisions for additional height.
Staff didn't see the need to extend those provisions in this area at
this time. Regier noted so if the use proposed falls under the H-1
zoning they do not need to come back through the process and
Jentz said they can proceed with permitted uses in the H-1 zone
however, if the use exceeds that level they would have to go
through this process again.
PUBLIC HEARING Steve Martinez, 425 Sunnyview Lane, indicated the location of his
property and noted the project area separates this neighborhood
from the rest of the surrounding neighborhoods. He read a
statement to the board. A copy is attached to the minutes.
Marianne Lowitz, 52 Grandview Drive stated they have lived in
this location for about 45 years and the property is currently being
used as a parking lot. In addition they use this property for their
heavy equipment with heavy truck traffic using their road every
morning, at noon and at night.
Lowitz said several years ago the city council determined that
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of June 9, 2015
Page13
dump trucks and heavy equipment would not be allowed on
Grandview Drive. The dump was closed down and there is
currently a sign that states "No dumping and no heavy trucks or
dump trucks". They live at the corner and trying to back out of
their driveway has been next to impossible because of the hospital
shuttle buses and traffic. She added Grandview Drive cannot be
used as an access for this parking lot because it cannot handle the
traffic. It is a small residential road without sidewalks. Lowitz
said Grandview Drive is also used by the hospital for snow
removal and the dump trucks start at 11:00 pm which continues
until 3:00 or 4:00 am.
Lowitz concluded by saying many years ago the hospital promised
the neighbors a parking garage upon their expansion. They have
decided instead to create a sprawl and are now sprawling into their
neighborhood.
President Graham asked the audience to remain on topic and limit
their speaking time to 3 minutes.
Clint Leuning, 166 Ridgeview Drive stated the dust that they have
created is horrible and nothing is done for dust suppression. He
asked for a definition of the location of the lot expansion which
was provided by staff.
Michael Gilberg, 146 Juniper Bend Drive stated he is on the board
of the Juniper Bend HOA. Their concerns include allowing any
access onto Grandview Drive because it is not able to handle the
traffic and is inappropriate. Secondly a buffer should be created
between the residential and hospital areas to limit light and sound.
Margaret Davis, 160 Charlotte Avenue stated the photos of the
temporary parking lot do not coincide with the conceptual plan in
the staff report. Also the board should consider that when the
Hwy 93 Bypass is completed and Four Mile Drive is improved it
will link the Grandview connector with FVCC and provide a quick
and easy route for people coming from the south to access the
hospital H-1 zone on Grandview. Davis read a statement to the
board. A copy is attached to the minutes.
Kelly Coloff, 95 Grandview Drive stated her property is directly
across the street from the current entrance into the Grandview lot.
Coloff said she believes that the findings in the Section II
Evaluation in the staff report are inaccurate as they state the zone
change will lessen congestion in the area, specifically on
Grandview Drive. The temporary parking lot has increased
traffic, dump trucks, noise and the shuttle buses. She is also
concerned with the safety of the children in the area. She added
the staff report also mentions that in the future a traffic impact
study might be necessary and she is recommending that a traffic
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of June 9, 2015
Page 14
impact study be required before approval of any zoning changes.
Coloff stated the evaluation should be amended to reflect this
public opposition to the entrance on Grandview Drive and the
safety concerns and the traffic issues.
Dick Stotts, 76 Grandview Drive stated he has lived here since
1971. He was also a policeman for 20 years and he would
approach this strictly from a safety issue. With children also
means school buses and if you look at Grandview Drive now, if
anyone is parked on the street, two cars cannot safely pass. Now
to add the walking traffic this is a very dangerous situation. Stotts
said some of this can be solved by making the entrance off of their
existing parking lot and closing the Grandview entrance. They
have asked for curbs and cutters since 1971. He encouraged the
board members to take a look at this area during the day and then
envision 150 vehicles added to that load.
Homeowner (Name inaudible), 81 Grandview Drive stated she
loves the convenient factor of if her children get hurt they can
walk themselves over to the hospital and she has no problems with
further construction of the hospital. However she does have a
safety concern. She will start home schooling her kids and having
recess outside on Grandview three times a day is a major concern.
Toby McIntosh, Jackola Engineering distributed copies of map
that further clarifies the location of the parking expansion. The
temporary gravel parking lot that was accessed off Grandview
Drive was primarily used to park cars during the construction
period. The agreement with the city is this area of the site will not
be used for parking. As currently proposed the parking expansion
will not connect to Grandview at this time.
McIntosh continued from a storm water management standpoint,
and because the parking expansion is extending over the existing
pond that was associated with Buffalo Commons, Phase V
subdivision, they are looking at relocating the pond into the gravel
pit and determining what properties could drain to that pond to
manage storm water as future development occurs.
With the expansion of the parking lot partly into the subject
property it gives them different access into the Maycumber Pit,
which would allow for opportunities to manage snow removal
differently.
McIntosh restated that the goal tonight is for review of the growth
policy and zone change amendments and any improvements
within that property will go through the City of Kalispell and
screening & buffering, storm water management, and light
pollution will be addressed.

Ted Hirsch, Kalispell Regional Medical Center stated they would
be happy to meet with anyone from the community to go over
their current plan. Please contact the hospital and set up a time to
meet.
Hirsch said the map proposes a slightly different model than what
was submitted, specifically in terms of the access road that leaves
the expanded parking lot going over to Grandview Drive. He has
also heard the comments about dust control and he will work with
their contractors on the current projects and will require them to be
more efficient in dealing with dust control. There may be some
trucks on the temporary lot that was used through the winter that
are not the hospitals' but belong to the company who is laying the
fiber in the area. They will contact this company and ask them not
to park in that location. He added their agreement with the city
was they would not use the temporary parking area once they were
done with the temporary use.
Jan Franklin, 50 Grandview Drive stated they have just recently
moved into the neighborhood and they love it. There are lots of
children on their street and with all this traffic it is dangerous. She
also feels that they need to know exactly what the plan is — not
part of it, not that we can come in and talk about it another time,
but tonight. She asked the board to look into their hearts and if
they were living in this area how would they feel.
BOARD DISCUSSION I Board Member Young, who is employed by Jackola Engineering,
recused himself from the discussions and vote on this matter.
MOTION — GROWTH Kauffman moved and Lorch seconded a motion to adopt staff
POLICY AMENDMENT report KGPA-15-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the
Kalispell City Council that the growth policy land use designation
for the 9.55 acre site be Urban Mixed Use on the Kalispell Growth
Policy Future Lane Use Map, and it is further recommended that
the board authorize the President to sign Resolution KGPA-15-02
recommending the amendment to the growth policy.
BOARD DISCUSSION Osorio-Khor noted with an up and down vote there is very little to
discuss. They have heard some very dramatic testimony and it was
interesting to hear that there had been promises in the past about a
parking garage. She said it is clear that the relationship between
the neighbors and the hospital is in need of more than a band aid.
Osorio-Khor said she is inclined not to vote in favor as it needs
more time for the hospital and its neighbors to talk and work
together. Although she realizes the hospital owns this property
she still thinks it is always important to be a good neighbor.
Osorio-Khor said she will be voting against the growth policy
amendment.

Graham said the board has heard comments and concerns from the
public. Graham said he wants to make sure that the public is aware
that a lot of these concerns are not attached to the growth policy
amendment and zone change before the board tonight. Jentz
agreed and added the board is not reviewing a parking lot, or
addressing access or dust control. The applicant, in good faith,
said they intend to use this property as a parking lot however, if
they choose to build something else, they could.
Jentz said the board is being asked the question, is this a logical
place for the hospital to grow into? If they say yes, the next
question is what would be the most appropriate zoning. If the
hospital does move forward with the parking lot it will come back
to the city who will address storm water on -site, landscaping,
access, etc.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed on a roll call vote of 5 in favor and 1 opposed.
MOTION
Regier moved and Pesola seconded a motion to adopt staff report
KZC-15-02 as findings of fact and recommend to the city council
that the zoning on the 9.55 acre site be H-1 (Health Care) on the
Kalispell Zoning Map.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Graham recommended that the neighbors contact the hospital to
discuss these issues. He added often times in meetings such as this
communication is the biggest barrier.
Osorio-Khor said the reason she doesn't want to go forward with
this amendment is because the hospital has made some promises in
the past and the neighbors said they didn't fulfill them. Sometimes
it is better to set everything aside and have the communication
then hopefully they can go forward with the support of the
neighborhood. Osorio-Khor said she will be voting no on the zone
change.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed on a roll call vote of 5 in favor and 1 opposed.
Board Member Young returned to his seat.
OLD BUSINESS:
None.
NEW BUSINESS:
Jentz noted the meetings in July and August will begin at 6:00.
Osorio-Khor said she has been working on the bylaws and met
with the city attorney to review some of the proposed changes. In
particular she is recommending adding a new section to the bylaws
that she wanted the city attorney's input before it is reviewed by
the board. If the city attorney is not able to review this section by
the July meeting she would propose bringing the other changes to
the board at the July work session.

To City Council Members:
We are writing in oppositon to making the temporary parking lot off Grandview Drive a
permanent lot by KRMC and are opposed to zoning changes that would allow this.
In particular, we are opposed to the use of Grandview Drive as an access to this parking
lot due to the increased noise and traffic when it was in use both as "temporary" parking
and also for snow piling. It was a problem both with traffic and noise when it was in use
as a dump previously.
We are a small community here on Grandview, Sunnyview, and Glacierview Drive that
have been here before the hospital. The hospital was always a good neighbor until it
began to grow into the "Medical Center" that it is now. With it's original explansion plans
it promised to remain a "good neighbor" but has not done so.
For example, the intial expansion proposal included a multi story parking garage which
has obviously been abandoned for less epensive parking lot sprawl. The newest
parking lot expansion includes an area that was originally proposed to be a green zone
to protect the homes on the west side of Glacierview Drive from noise and light. There is
no green zone left in this area.
Parking lots are not good neighbors. They are loud, particularly during the night when
maintence occurs and residents are trying -to sleep. The developement of parking on
Grandview and the use of Grandview Drive or Sunyview lane will significantly change
the flavor of our quiet, -secluded residential neighborhood. Grandview Drive is also not
designed for use by heavy trucks hawling snow in the winter. With increased use
Grandview Drive may deteriorate and require widening and reconstruction, changing the`
quality of our neighborhood. Of course this reconstruction will be paid for by taxpayers,
not the hospital. .
If the ciry council approves turning the temporary parking lot into permanent parking, it
should require that the Grandview Drive access be permanently closed and that KRMC
should access this new parking lot from the west via the existing parking lot on Heritage
Way. This is a distance of about 30 yards or less. This would eliminate the traffic from
Gandview and Sunnyview lane neighborhoods. They should also be required to
landscape the East side of the parking lot that Boarders Grandviewl.
Another option is for KRMC to remove the Swank constuction eye sore that has been
there for years on Heritage Way and turn it into parking space. It has better proximity to
the hospital, radiation oncology, imaging , The Rock and the Wellness Center. They
could also do what they originally proposed and build a parking garage.
Please oppose this permanent expansion of a disruptive parking lot, that begins to
fragment our neighborhood, in favor of a more respectful option for this quiet residential
community.
Thank you,

TO: Kalispell Planning Board, public hearing, June 9, 2015
FROM: Margaret S Davis, homeowner 160 Charlotte Ave, Kalispell MT 59901
(mailing address PO Box 788, Lakeside MT 59922)
RE: staff report for combined KRH applications for Growth Policy Amendment and
Zoning Map change and Zone change from RA-1 to H-1
The staff report is disappointing in that it only considers an immediate request to
legalize an existing gravel parking lot that is not a permitted use in the existing RA-1
zone. The staff report does acknowledge that this parking lot is likely to be an
interim land use. Such a short sighted approach to planning ignores the
implications of Urban Mixed Use/H-1 development on 9.55 acres, its effects on the
neighboring zones, and the transportation problems that have arisen the H-1 zone.
The staff report makes several references to preserving the hospital's options for
growth in the present location. However, the time to insure that those options are
viable down the road is NOW. The developer and the City both need to address
accelerated growth in the H-1 zone and overall public safety in the Flathead valley.
Not all property in the H-1 zone is owned by the hospital or its affiliates, but a great
proportion is. While the hospital is a nonprofit institution exempt from property
taxes, some of its associated enterprises are for -profit. The hospital is able to issue
tax free bonds for capital projects and derives much of its income from government
sources. In other words, the hospital has a favored tax and financing status. As an
essential 24/7 service, it has an obligation to address the broader public good by
optimizing its property for the highest and best use, improving safety and
accessibility in H-1 zone, and mitigating environmental issues that may arise.
There is no rush to approve this parking lot by a hasty re -zone. Instead the City and
KRH should go back to the drawing board, assemble facts and develop action plans
that serve the long-term goals of the H-1 zone and the City.
CONDITIONS:
The zone change should not be approved without specific conditions to be fulfilled
before any improvements are made on the property in question.
1. Grandview Dr is not built to city standards and is inadequate to
accommodate impacts from any development at this site.
a. Unless improved to city standards or redesigned with code required
sidewalks and boulevard strips, an access from Grandview Dr to the
parking lot shall be prohibited.
b. The recently paved entry drive on Grandview shall be removed and
the east boundary fencing extended across the current access.
2. The proposal to link Grandview Dr with Heritage Way through the proposed
parking lot creates yet another de facto private thoroughfare in the H-1 zone.
Access from Sunnyview Ln and Heritage Way is sufficient to serve this
parking lot unless the developer commits to building a public street built to
city standards between Grandview and Heritage Way as part of the project.
3. A traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) plan for the entire H-1 zone shall be
prepared prior to the issuance of any building permit. The cost of the plan
shall be the responsibility of the developer. The City will review and adopt
the resulting H-1 transportation plan.
4. A complete analysis of the site's fill and soils shall be done at the property
owner's expense before any building or infrastructure is constructed on the
lots affected by this zone change.
a. Until such time as the analysis has been completed and appropriate
mitigation done, the subject property shall not be used for anything
other than surface parking.
b. No additional fill may added to or relocated on the site until the site is
deemed free of hazardous debris or fully mitigated.
S. A storm water drainage plan, incorporating applicant's stated desire to
handle storm water drainage from other areas of the hospital campus on.this
site, shall be submitted by the developer prior to paving surface parking on
the site.
6. Four of the 11 City water wells are in the H-1 or neighboring areas. The soil
survey, fill analysis, and storm water plan shall also evaluate the potential
effect on the City's water supply and the nearby Stillwater River.
7. Resolution of planning issues raised by having adjacent PUDs and potentially
multiple landowners within those PUDs. Without a residential component,
there is no reason to pursue development through a PUD in the H-1 zone.
8. Include Lot 5AB (a single family residence) in the H-1 re -zone. If it remains a
RA-1 zoned property, it is spot zoned.
9. If the hospital's RV Park is to be re -located or expanded, appropriate sewage
services and gray water disposal shall be provided.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS:
Redefine the H-1 zone so that it better reflects Urban Mixed Use criteria as stated in
the Growth Policy. Activities and services within the zone include far more than
"...hospital and medical facilities and supportive services for the care of the sick,
elderly, and distraught This zone is not intended to serve general retail or overnight
accommodation needs of the general public". Modern medicine with preventive and
outpatient services generates a wide range of ancillary land uses including
restaurants and some forms of retail. The zone also serves more than 2500
healthcare employees.
H-1 zone lot coverage for structures could be increased from 45%. In the future
parking structures should be allowed as permitted uses in the zone. This may
accommodate a helipad, conserve open space, and allow some passive storm water
collection. Surface parking lots, streets and sidewalks, and buildings contribute to
impervious surface area that may require an integrated, more sophisticated storm
drainage system.
REQUEST FOR MAJOR SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT
STAFF REPORT #KPP-15-02
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
JUNE 9, 2015
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a
request for preliminary plat approval of a two lot commercial subdivision in Gateway
West Addition 34. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell Planning
Board for June 9, 2015 beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. A
recommendation from the Kalispell Planning Board will be forwarded to Kalispell City
Council for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A request for a major subdivision of the 16.501 acre
Gateway West Mall property into two commercial lots consisting of 2.017 and 14.484
acres. The proposed 2.017 acre parcel is located along the east side of Financial Drive
northwest of the Gateway West Mall and is currently undeveloped grasslands with a
small paved portion on the south end of the parcel used for parking. The remaining
14.484 acre parcel is developed with the Gateway West Mall and surface parking
facilities. The tract of land has previously been subdivided more than five times
necessitating a major subdivision application. The land use of the parcel being created is
not known at this time, but will have to comply with the B-2 Zoning requirements.
Approximately 27 parking spaces for the Gateway West Mall will be within Lot 1. The
Gateway West Mall will still retain approximately 671 parking spaces in addition to
those 27 parking spaces that will be lost to the proposed subdivision. The parking
requirements for the Gateway West Mall are approximately 604 parking spaces. Thus, a
surplus of parking still exists if the new commercial lot is created.

C. Size:
Total area: 16.501 acres
Lot 1: 2.017 acres
Lot 2: 14.484 acre
D. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is currently developed with
the Gateway West Mall and parking facilities. The portion of the subject property
to be subdivided is currently undeveloped grasslands with a small paved portion
on the south end of the proposed parcel used for parking.
The property is within the B-2 (General Business) Zone. The Kalispell Zoning
Regulations state that the B-2 Zone is intended to "provide for a variety of sales
and service establishments to serve both residents of the area and the traveling
public. The district depends on the proximity to major streets and arterials and
should be located in business corridors or in islands. This zoning district would
typically be found in areas designated as commercial and urban mixed use on the
Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map". The minimum required lot area for
a parcel within the B-2 Zone is 7,000 square feet. Lot 1 is proposed to be 2.017
acres and Lot 2 is proposed to be 14.484 acres, which exceeds the minimum
required lot area.
I•
E. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The existing zoning and land uses of the land
surrounding the subject property are as follows:
North: Children's day care facility, B-2 zoning
East: Gateway West Mall and parking lot, B-2 zoning
South: Gateway West Mall and parking lot, B-2 zoning
West: Vacant commercial lot and office buildings, RA- 1 (Residential
Apartment) and B-2 zoning
F. Relation to Growth Policy Map: The subject property lies within the jurisdiction
of the Kalispell City Growth Policy. The Growth Policy Map designates this area as
commercial. Such a designation anticipates a wide variety of retail and service
oriented commercial activities.

REVIEW AND FINDINGS OF FACT FOR THE PRELIMINARY PLAT
This application is reviewed as a major subdivision in accordance with state statutory
review criteria and the Kalispell City Subdivision Regulations. Note that while only one
additional lot is being created, the parent lot Gateway West Mall has been the site of
substantial lot creation such that the cumulative number of lots created exceeds the
minimum of five for subdivision review.
A. Effects on Health and Safety:
Fire: The property would be considered to be at low risk of fire because any
building constructed within the subdivision would be built in accordance with the
International Fire Code and have access which meets city standards. Lot 1 being
created will abut Financial Drive that has been constructed to city standards.
The property does not have steep slopes or woody fuels. Hydrants will be required
to be placed in compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and
approved by the Fire Chief.
Flooding: There are no areas within the 100-year floodplain on the site pursuant
to Flood Insurance Rate Map No. 30029C 1805J. A portion of the parent parcel is
within the 100-year floodplain at the southwest corner; however, this area is not
part of the proposed subdivision.
3
Access: Access to the new lot being created will be via Financial Drive to the west.
Financial Drive is an improved city street, which provides adequate access to the
subject property.
B. Effects on Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat: The subdivision is not located in
known big game habitat and the property is not considered suitable habitat for
other significant wildlife since the subject property is within an urban area and
currently paved. Local and migratory bird species and small mammals common to
the area will not be affected by this action.
C. Effects on the Natural Environment: The subject property exists in an
established commercial area of Kalispell. The site is level and is not in or near a
designated 100-year floodplain per Flood Insurance Rate Map Number
30029C 1805J, nor is it subject to slope failure, subsidence, or severe erosion.
The subdivision will be served by City of Kalispell water and sewer minimizing
impacts to groundwater. Impacts to the natural environment are not expected to
occur as a result of this subdivision.
D. Effects on Local Services:
Sewer and Water: The City of Kalispell already provides water and sewer to the
subject property, where the Gateway West Mall is located. The new parcel being
created will have to have sewer and water service lines extended to it. There are
existing sewer and water service lines within Financial Drive to the west. Prior to
final plat the service lines will have to be extended to the property.
Access and Roads: Access to the new lot being created will be via Financial Drive
to the west. Financial Drive is an improved city street, which provides adequate
access to the subject property.
Schools: This subdivision is commercial in nature and will not have an impact on
the enrollment of the school district.
Parks: Commercial lots are exempt from providing park land or paying the cash in
lieu fee.
Police Protection: The property is served by the Kalispell Police Department. It is
not anticipated that this subdivision will significantly impact the service provided
by the Police Department.
Fire Protection: The property is within the service district of the Kalispell Fire
Department. It is not anticipated that this subdivision will significantly impact the
service provided by the Fire Department.
Refuse Disposal: Solid waste will be provided by the City of Kalispell. No significant
increased impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed subdivision.
Medical Services: Emergency medical service is provided by the Kalispell Regional
Medical Center; ambulance and life flight services are also available.
E. Effects on Agriculture and agricultural water user facilities: This subdivision
4
is in the urban area of Kalispell and the area has been developed to an urban
density. Future development of this site will have no effect on agricultural
activities in the valley.
F. Relation to the Kalispell Growth Policy: The Kalispell Growth Policy Map
designates the project site as commercial. The Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 Plan
goals state that new commercial development should occur in areas were public water
and sewer are available. In addition, the plan encourages the expansion of existing
commercial districts, especially infill projects. The growth policy supports this
subdivision because Lot 1 is currently under-utilized within the commercial area
and city water and sewer are in the vicinity of the property.
G. Compliance with Zoning: The property is zoned B-2, General Business. The
Kalispell Zoning Regulations state that the B-2 Zone is intended to "provide for a
variety of sales and service establishments to serve both residents of the area and
the traveling public. The district depends on the proximity to major streets and
arterials and should be located in business corridors or in islands". Although a
use is not proposed on Lot 1 at this time, any use that will be developed on the
site will have to comply with the B-2 requirements. The project site is located
within a commercial area and is located along Financial Drive, which is an
improved city street. The minimum required lot area for a parcel within the B-2
Zone is 7,000 square feet. Lot 1 is proposed to be 2.017 acres and Lot 2 is
proposed to be 14.484 acres, which exceeds the minimum required lot area. B-2
also requires the lots have a minimum lot width of 70 feet. Both Lot 1 and Lot 2
far exceed the 70 feet lot width requirement.
H. Compliance with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations: This subdivision
complies with the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations and no variances have been
requested.

Subject: Re: Notice of Public Hearing (Gateway West Mall)
City of Kalispell Planning Dept,
I'm writing an email in reference to the "Notice of Public Hearing" I received as a property owner within 150
feet of the proposed major subdivision of the Gateway West Mall. I am the owner of the property/ land directly
west of this proposed subdivision on Financial Drive (Lots 91 & 95 Financial Drive).
As a property owner we would be in favor of this subdivision. We believe that separating out this track of land
will give that piece of property more potential to be developed into a useable piece of property that benefits the
community and the surrounding businesses and homes.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGULAR MEETING
KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD AND ZONING COMMISSION
June 9, 2015
A regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission is scheduled for
Tuesday, June 9, 2015, beginning at 6:00 PNI in the Kalispell City Council Chambers, Kalispell City
Hall, 201 First Avenue East, Kalispell. The planning board will hold a public hearing and take public
comments on the following agenda item. The Board will make recommendations to the Kalispell City
Council who will take final action.
1. Kalispell Investor's, LLC is requesting a major subdivision of the 16.501 acre Gateway West
Mall property into two commercial lots consisting of 2.017 and 14.484 acres. The proposed 2.017
acre parcel is located along the east side of Financial Drive northwest of the Gateway West Mall
and is currently undeveloped grasslands. The remaining 14.484 acre parcel is developed with the
Gateway West Mall and surface parking facilities. The land use of the parcel being created is not
known at this time, but will have to comply with the B-2 Zoning. The property can be described
as the Southeast Quarter of Section 12, Township 28 North, Range 22 West, P.M.,M., Flathead
County, Montana.
2. Kalispell Regional Healthcare (KRH) is requesting a Growth Policy Amendment and Zoning
Map Amendment for the expansion of existing surface parking facilities. The site is bounded by
Sunny View Lane to the south, Heritage Way to the west, Grandview Drive to the east and the
Ridgeview Subdivision to the north. The property can be legally described as Tracts 5ABAA,
5ABA, 5ABB, 5ABD and 5ABH of Section 6, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead

KRH is requesting the H- I (Healthcare) Zone for the entire 9.55 acre site to match the zoning
of their property to the south. The zone change from RA-1 to H-1 will accommodate the
expansion of the surface parking facilities.
