EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST This application has been reviewed in accordance with the conditional use review criteria in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. A conditional use permit may be granted only if the proposal, as submitted, conforms to all of the following general conditional use permit criteria, as well as to all other applicable criteria that may be requested: 1. Site Suitability: a. Adequate Useable Space: The subject property consists of two lots approximately 20,000 square feet in size. The minimum lot size requirement within the H-1 Zone is 7,000 square feet. The property is currently developed with an office building that meets all the required setbacks for the zone. b. Height, bulk and location of the building: There is an existing office building onsite that meets the required setback and height requirements. No exterior additions are proposed that would increase the height, bulk or location of the existing building. All of the renovations will be within the interior of the building. C. Adequate Access: The Assist facility will accessed via Burns Way to the east. Burns Way is an improved private street that meets the minimum width requirements for ingress and egress. Access to the site can also be taken via the private parking lots to the south and west. These parking lots gain access from Conway Drive to the north and Bountiful Drive to the south. d. Environmental Constraints: There are no known environmental constraints, such as steep slopes, streams, floodplains, or wetlands on the property, which could affect the proposed use. The proposed Assist center will be within an existing building and only interior improvements are proposed. 0 2. Appropriate Design: a. Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: The number of parking stalls required for the building is reduced with the proposed use since the bottom floor is being converted from office space to patient rooms. However, the off-street parking and loading will not be changed as part of this project. The configuration and number of stalls within all adjacent off-street parking lots located to the north, south and west will not be changed. Handicap stalls dedicated to the building are in the parking lot north of the building and accessible to the lower level via an exterior handicap ramp. b. Lighting_ Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor lighting on commercial or residential structures. Traffic Circulation: The Assist facility gains their access from Burns Way, which is an improved private street. Access to the site can also be taken via the private parking lots to the south and west. These parking lots gain access from Conway Drive to the north and Bountiful Drive to the south. d. Open Space: The Assist facility is proposed within an existing office building and no open space is required for the change of use. e. Fencing/Screening/Landscaping: No additional fencing, screening, or landscaping is proposed. The property has mature landscaping on all sides of the building and will remain in place. f. Signage: The existing monument sign and building signage will remain in their current location, but will be modified to display new tenant information. No additional signage is proposed. 3. Availability of Public Services/Facilities: a. Police: Police protection will be provided by the Kalispell Police Department. No unusual impacts or needs are anticipated from the proposed Assist center. b. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. The impact of the proposed change in this regard is minimal. C. Water: City water currently serves the property. No impact on water services is anticipated as a result of this use. d. Sewer: Sewer service is currently provided by the city. No impact on sewer services is anticipated as a result of this use. Storm Water Drainage: The site has an existing office building. No change in storm water drainage is anticipated related to the proposed use. f. Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City. Existing refuse will not change with the new use. 4 g. Streets: The primary street frontage is Burns Way, an improved private street. Access to Burns Way is via a driveway into the parking lot located just north of the building. h. Sidewalks: The property has sidewalks located along Burns Way. There are also sidewalks that go to the parking lots to the south and west of the building. i. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District #5. There are not any anticipated impacts for the proposed use. j. Parks and Recreation: There will be no significant increase in demand on the parks and recreation programs and facilities as a result of this use. 4. Neighborhood impacts: a. Traffic: The patients do not have cars so the only traffic generated by the use would be from the employees of the Assist center. Accordingly, the amount of traffic associated with the existing building could decrease with the new use. b. Noise and Vibration: Other than during the interior renovation constriction, the Assist center will not create any noise and vibration beyond what would normally be associated with a healthcare office/care building. C. Light, Dust, Glare, and Heat: Other than during the interior renovation construction, the Assist center will not create any objectionable light, dust, glare, and heat beyond what would normally be associated with a healthcare office/care building. d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: Other than during the interior renovation construction, the Assist center will not create any objectionable smoke, fumes, gas, or odors beyond what would normally be associated with a healthcare office/care building. e. Hours of Operation: An Assist employee will be on duty 24-hours a day seven days a week. The Assist employees are not medical personnel, but individuals trained to provide care for the Assist patients. The Assist patients will stay in a private room and it is anticipated that their stay will be for a short period of time. Assist policies and procedures will prevent referral of patients that have the potential for staying extending periods of time. 5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The area of the proposed use can be classified as healthcare based consisting of medical office, rehab and 24-hour care facilities (hospital and Immanuel Lutheran). The subject property has been historically used as a medical office. The change of use to an Assist center is an appropriate use for the location. The area is constantly changing to meet the healthcare demands of the community and provide the necessary services. There are no adjacent uses that would be negatively impacted by the proposed use. 6. Effects on property values: No significant negative impacts on property values are anticipated as a result of the requested conditional use of the property. 5 C.

Russell Skelton, Project Architect Design & Construction Department Kalispell Regional Medical Center Cc: file Page 2 of 2 a 1 i slis f r NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS A Not -for -Profit Corporation A member organization of Kalispell Regional Healthcare MISSION Assisting Men and Women in Recovering From Illness and Regaining Their Independence DESCRIPTION OF BASIC SERVICES The services of ASSIST begin with a physician, nurse, or social worker observing a patient who may be unable to regain his or her health after being discharged from a hospital, nursing home or medical clinic. The patient is informed of the help that ASSIST can offer, and if the patient is receptive, the name and phone number of the patient (then referred to as a Care Receiver) is given to the Director of ASSIST. The Director of ASSIST makes contact with the Care Receiver either before he or she leaves the hospital, nursing home or medical clinic or makes the initial visit at the residence of the Care Receiver. During the initial visit, the Director of ASSIST, along with the ASSIST Volunteer, detennine the needs with the Care Receiver and develop a "Program for Recovery." The needs determined generally go beyond the needs identified by the physician, nurse or social worker. ASSIST does not provide medical care or other health care services. ASSIST services focus on non -medical needs, connecting the Care Receiver with needed resources available in Flathead County. The help made available to a Care Receiver varies greatly and depends on his or her needs. The ASSIST Director and ASSIST Volunteers provide assistance in connecting the Care Receiver with help available and completing applications for the help that is needed including: food, better housing, transportation, financial assistance for medicine and to pay monthly bills, housekeeping and other social services. An important part of the care provided is ensuring that the Care Receiver has someone who cares and goes along side of the Care Receiver in obtaining the help required. ASSIST Volunteers maintain contact with the Care Receivers until they are well on their road to regaining health and independence. Upon completion of services provided, the Director of ASSIST meets with the Care Receiver to conduct an exit interview. The ASSIST Center The application for Conditional Use Permit is for The ASSIST Center. The ASSIST Center serves two purposes. First, the offices for the employees of ASSIST who are responsible for BASIC SERVICES as described above. Second purpose is to provide rooms for patients in transition from hospital to home. This second purpose is described in the following paragraphs. ASSIST has identified a new and pressing need. At times, a patient could be discharged from hospital or nursing home but is not ready to make the transition to his or her home. So the patient remains in the medical facility longer than may be required or allowed by third -party payers. ASSIST has developed a solution for this need. Rather than going to a nursing home or prematurely going home, the patient will be transferred to The ASSIST Center, which provides a private room free of charge for the patient. The patient will be first discharged from the medical facility and then transferred to Tlie ASSIST Center. The patient will be allowed to stay at The ASSIST Center while recovering adequately to return to their home. Another type of patient that will be eligible for a stay in Tdie ASSIST Center are individuals who require one medical procedure done each day for a period of time. The doctor does not want the patient to return to their home during the period of the medical procedure. These patients do not require the sophisticated care given in a hospital or nursing home. Patients referred to The ASSIST Center are called "Care Receivers." Upon arriving at The ASSIST Center, the Care Receiver will be interviewed by the Director of ASSIST and an ASSIST Volunteer to determine the Care Receiver's needs. The Director and ASSIST Volunteer will aid in the Care Receiver's transition to their home. It needs to be emphasized that this service is not for homeless patients. It is anticipated the stay in The ASSIST Center will be for a short duration. Policies and procedures will govern the type of patients referred to The ASSIST Center and these policies and procedures will prevent referrals of patients who have the potential for staying extended periods of time. No.medical care or other health care services will be provided for Care Receivers at TheASSIST Center. Each Care Receiver will have a private room and three meals a day. An ASSIST employee will be on duty twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. The ASSIST employees are not medical personal, but individuals trained to provide for the Care Receivers. Such care will include helping Care Receiver bath and dress, helping with meals and being available for requests by the Care Receiver. The ASSIST employees will also be responsible for security at The ASSIST Center. Prepared by Curtis M. Lund, President November 30, 2015 2 X iu 7EU L I` T t I (..

VOTE BY ACCLAMATION The motion passed unanimously on a vote by acclamation. PUBLIC COMMENT None. WILSON CONDITIONAL USE A request from Rebecca Wilson, for a conditional use permit to PERMIT add 432 square feet to the north end of the existing second single- family residence, located at 233 1/2 3rd Avenue East, within the RA-1 (Residential Apartment) Zoning District. STAFF REPORT — KCU-15-07 Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed Staff Report KCU-15-07 for the board. Nygren noted the primary residence was constructed in 1930 and the 2" d residence was constructed in 1943. Two primary uses are permitted within the RA-1 zone provided a conditional use permit (CUP) is obtained. At the time the 2nd residence was constructed a CUP was not required however, due to the expansion of the residence a CUP is now required. Nygren continued the existence of the two homes on one lot is a legal non -conforming use since the 2rid residence was constructed prior to when the zoning ordinance was put in place. Nygren reviewed the site plan and aerial photograph and he noted the requirement for a 20 foot rear setback is in order to maintain a parking space for the 2nd residence. He also reviewed the surrounding zoning and land uses. The Kalispell Growth Policy Map designates this property as Urban Mixed Use. No public comments have been received. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report KCU-15-07 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that conditional use permit be approved subject to the 3 conditions listed in the Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of January 12, 2016 Page I 1 staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION None. PUBLIC HEARING No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. MOTION Kauffman moved and Pesola seconded a motion to adopt staff report KCU-15-07 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the 3 conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION None. ROLL CALL The motion passed unanimously, on a roll call vote. THE ASSIST CENTER A request from Marise Johnson, for a conditional use permit for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 24-hour healthcare facility within the H-1 (Healthcare) Zoning District, located at 1280 Burns Way. The facility will operate as an "Assist" facility, providing care for patients that do not need to be in the hospital but are not ready to go home. STAFF REPORT KCU-15-06 Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed staff report KCU-15-06 for the board. Nygren said no medical care or health care services will be provided at The Assist Center as it focuses on non -medical needs and connecting the patient with needed resources available in the county. Nygren provided an example for the board where a resident lives in Libby and needs daily follow-up visits with their doctor and so would stay in this facility for a week or so. Nygren continued 24 care facilities are permitted within the H-1 zone provided a conditional use permit is obtained. The main floor of the building will be maintained as office space and the lower floor will be converted to accommodate ten new rooms for patients and no exterior renovations are proposed. Nygren reviewed a site plan of the project and noted a new sidewalk has been added along the property boundary on the east side and there is also a pathway that connects this building to a parking lot to the south. He also reviewed the surrounding zoning and land uses and noted the Growth Policy supports this use. One letter (copy attached to these minutes) was received from the public that primarily addresses concerns with ADA access, pedestrian access and parking. Nygren said ADA issues will be addressed by the Kalispell Building Department through the building permit plan review process; pedestrian access now includes the sidewalks mentioned above and the pathway to the parking lot. The city would not be able to require this developer to Kalispell city Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of January 12, 2016 Page 12 extend sidewalk to Claremont Street, just along the property itself, which they have already done. This use requires less parking than the former office use at 2 parking spots required compared to 12- 13 spaces for the office use. Nygren noted a typo in the staff report on page 4, under traffic, it states the "senior living facility" and it should state "the Assist facility". Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report KCU-15-06 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the 4 conditions as amended. BOARD DISCUSSION Osorio-Khor noted Margaret Davis, the homeowner who wrote the letter, has written to the planning board before and she is very efficient and accurate and it is always good to get her input. Osorio-Khor added the majority of her concerns will be dealt with through the permitting process and not dealt with at the planning board level and Nygren said that is correct and explained further. Osorio-Khor continued Marise Johnson is and outstanding woman and was one of only two female physicians in this town at one time and her family has always been dedicated to medicine and health care for this community. She added this use is so needed especially since the hospital is a regional hospital where people are coming from all areas. PUBLIC HEARING No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed. MOTION Lorch moved and Kauffman seconded a motion to adopt staff report KCU-15-06 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the 4 conditions listed in the staff report. BOARD DISCUSSION Lorch said he read Ms. Davis' letter and added the purpose of conditional use permits in situations like this is to mitigate impacts that are off -site of the existing project. What they are proposing to do here is all contained within the building and the parking situation will be less of an impact, and any other impacts off -site would be addressed through the conditions. He is comfortable with the staff's report and review. ROLL CALL The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
