REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager YL.
FROM: Jarod Nygren, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Glacier Town Center PUD — Request for Planned Unit Development, (PUD)
Extension
MEETING DATE: November 16, 2015
BACKGROUND: This is a request by Stillwater Corporation to extend the PUD approval of the Glacier
Town Center PUD for one year. Glacier Town Center received PUD approval in February 2008, along
with annexation of the property and Phase 1 of the Glacier Town Center preliminary plat. The preliminary
plat associated with the development has lapsed, but the PUD zoning overlay remains in affect due to an
extension given by council last November. The applicant is reevaluating the phasing plan and product
types, in light of current market conditions. The applicant has indicated their intention to eventually
develop the property and would like to maintain the PUD zoning overlay for a subsequent preliminary
plat proposal.
Section 27.19.020(10)(b) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance, requires that the developer request an
extension of the PUD, on a yearly basis after expiration of the underlying preliminary plat. If the one year
extension is granted, the PUD and associated conditions will remain in effect. The code states that the
council may grant one or more such extensions. If the request is not granted, the property will revert to a
PUD placeholder zoning.
Glacier Town Center PUD zoning overlay includes the four zoning designations of R-3 (single-family
residential), R-4 (two-family residential), B-1 (neighborhood business), and B-2 (general business). The
PUD proposes to ultimately develop 282 single-family residential lots, 150 townhouse lots, 200
apartment/condominium units, approximately 1.8 million square feet of commercial/office space, and
72.3 acres of parks and open space.
Glacier Town Center PUD encompasses 485.5 acres and extends from Highway 93 North to Whitefish
Stage Road. The property is generally bounded by Glacier Memorial Gardens cemetery, the Stillwater
River, West Reserve Drive, and Applied Materials along its southern boundary; Whitefish Stage Road on
its eastern boundary; and a combination of privately -owned, incorporated and unincorporated land along
its northern boundary.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the first reading of
ordinance 1765 and grant a one-year extension to the Glacier Town Center PUD.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Minor positive impacts until the actual PUD begins, then significant positive
impacts.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

Re: Glacier Town Center PUD Zoning Overlay
Dear Tom,
I am writing to request an extension of the Glacier Town Center PUD Zoning Overlay.
It is our intention to eventually develop the property. Although the Preliminary Plat
Phase I is set to expire, we intend to file a new Preliminary Plat once our planning is
complete. We are reevaluating the phasing and product types in the original plan based
on current market conditions. Although our planning and market studies are not
complete at this time, we continue to feel that the existing PUD Zoning Overlay remains
appropriate for the project.
Please consider our request for an extension and let me know if you need additional
information.
