SUBJECT: KCU-16-02 — Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for four (4) townhomes
MEETING DATE: June 6, 2016
BACKGROUND: This is a request from Jacob Ek for a conditional use permit to construct four (4)
townhomes within the R-3 (Residential) Zoning District per Section 27.06.030 of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. The R-3 Zoning District is primarily a single-family detached housing zone;
however, townhomes are permitted within the R-3 Zone if it is determined that they are compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood. Currently, the property is one lot developed with a single-family
residence at 117 Northwest Lane. Part of the approval process would also include a waiver of
preliminary plat, which would create Lot 2 east of the single-family home. The four (4) townhomes
are being proposed on Lot 2, which will be a flag lot located behind the existing residence. The
property owner will need to connect to city sewer and water, which are in the vicinity of the property.
Service line extensions are required in order to serve the townhomes.
The subject property is located at 117 Northwest Lane. The property can be legally described as Lot
25, Block 1 of Northwest Tracts in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1, Township 28 North, Range 22
West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing May 10, 2016, to consider the
application request. Staff presented staff report KCU-16-02 providing details of the proposal and
evaluation. Staff reported that the proposed CUP was compatible with zoning, and the growth policy,
and the applicant has met the burden of proof requirements. Staff recommended that the Planning
Board adopt the staff report as findings of fact, and recommend to the City Council that the CUP be
approved, subject to six (6) conditions.
During the public comment portion of the hearing, a representative of the applicant spoke briefly in
favor of the the CUP request. There being no other public testimony, the public hearing was closed
and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KCU-16-02 as findings of fact, and recommend to
the Kalispell City Council that the CUP be approved, subject to conditions. Board discussion
concluded that the CUP was appropriate, and the motion passed unanimously on roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit
KCU-16-02, with the six (6) conditions of approval.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of the request would have minimal fiscal impact to the City.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

Figure 1: Site Plan
Existing Land Use and Zoning: The property is developed with a single-family residence with large
vacant area to the east.
The property is located within the R-3 (Residential) land use zoning district. The Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance describes the intent of this district:
"A district intended to provide lot areas for urban residential development. This district
should have good thoroughfare access, and be in proximity to community and neighborhood
facilities, i.e., schools, parks, shopping areas, etc. Development within this district must be
served by all public utilities. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designed
as suburban residential or urban residential on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use
Map."
Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning: The existing zoning and land uses of the land surrounding the subject
property are as follows:
West: R-3, middle school sports fields
North: R-3 and R-4, single-family homes and middle school
East: R-3 and B-1, undeveloped land, single-family home and dentist office
South: R-3, undeveloped land
Relation to the Growth Policy: The subject property is within the Urban Residential land use category. The
Growth Policy 2020 states that townhomes are an anticipated form of housing within the Urban Residential
land use category where adequate services and facilities are available. Additionally, infill development is
encouraged to lessen impacts on sensitive lands and provides additional housing opportunities where services
are available. City services including, sewer, water and streets are in the vicinity and available to the subject
property.

B. 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:
2
a. Adequate Useable Space: Lot 25 is 37,735 square feet in size and has flat topography. As
part of the proposal, Lot 25 will be subdivided into two lots. Lot 1 will be 6,010 square feet
in size and is where the existing single-family residence at 117 Northwest Lane is located.
Lot 2 is proposed as a flag lot and will be 31,725 square feet and will include the four
sublots for the proposed townhomes. Although flag lots are generally discouraged in most
situations, flag lots are to be used in infill situations within developed areas. The minimum
lot area required in the R-3 Zone is 6,000 square feet. Both lots are large enough to meet the
applicable zoning standards for lot size, building setbacks and building height.
b. Height, bulk and location of the building_ The structures are proposed to be 2-story with a
building footprint of 1,200 square feet and total floor area of 2,400 square feet. Building
height will not exceed the R-3 height restriction of 35' tall from bottom of finished floor to
roof ridgeline. The structures will also meet the minimum required setbacks for development
within the R-3 Zone. The R-3 Zone requirements give due consideration to the height, bulk
and location of the proposed townhomes.
C. Adequate Access: The townhomes will be gaining their access via a private drive that
connects to Northwest Lane. Northwest Lane is an improved 28' wide City street. In the event
four townhouses are constructed the private drive will be constructed to Local-3 standards.
Local-3 standards require a 30' right-of-way, 20' paved surface and sidewalk on one side. In
the event only two townhouses are constructed the private drive would be constructed to a
Local-2 standard. Local-2 standards require a 20' right-of-way and a 10' travel surface.
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.
2. Appropriate Design:
a. Parking Scheme/Loading Areas: Each townhome unit will have two off-street parking spaces
as required by Chapter 27.24 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
b. Lighting_ Chapter 27.26 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance sets standards for all outdoor
lighting on commercial or residential structures.
C. Traffic Circulation: The townhouses will gain their access from a private drive that connects
to Northwest Lane. Northwest Lane connects to a network of streets in the vicinity, providing
adequate traffic circulation. Additionally, the private drive will be constructed to the
applicable standard as provided in the subdivision regulations for the number of units being
constructed.
d. Open Space: The proposed townhouses will meet the setbacks required by the R-3 Zone,
which provides for open spaces around the units. There is also a large portion of lot 2 to the
east that will remain open space and be common area when the townhomes are platted.
e. Fencing/Screenin Landscaping: There are existing mature trees surrounding the subject
property. Fencing for the units will have to comply with Section 27.20.040 of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance.
3
f. Si�ize: There will be no signage associated with the townhomes.
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 single-family use.
b. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Kalispell Fire Department. There is
adequate access to the property from the public road system and the townhouses will be
constructed to meet current building and fire code standards for building and access.
C. Water: City of Kalispell water infrastructure currently abuts the property on both the west
and south ends. The water line to the west is within Northwest Lane and the line to the south
is located within a utility easement that serves the dentist office on the property to the east.
The developer will be required to pay the cost for additional service line connections for the
additional units.
d. Sewer: City of Kalispell sewer infrastructure is located within Northwest Lane. The
developer will be required to pay the cost for additional service line connections for the
additional units.
e. Storm Water Drainage: Storm water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed
per the City of Kalispell Construction and Design Standards. Prior to receiving a building
permit the developer will need to submit a construction storm water management plan to the
Public Works Department. This plan will need to show how storm water will be treated and
where it will be directed during construction activities.
f Solid Waste: Solid waste pick-up will be provided by the City of Kalispell.
e. Streets: The proposed townhomes front Northwest Lane, which is an improved public street.
Northwest Lane is not constructed to City Standards, as it was originally developed in the
county; however, it is 28' wide and provides adequate access to the subject property. In the
event four townhouses are constructed the private drive will be constructed to Local-3
standards as provided in the subdivision regulations. In the even that only two townhouses are
constructed the private drive would be constructed to a Local-2 standards as provided in the
subdivision regulations.
g. Sidewalks: No sidewalks exist along Northwest Lane, as it was developed in the county
originally; however, there is a rudimentary path on the east side of Northwest Lane that
functions as a sidewalk/bike path. Montana Department of Transportation will be constructing
a new bike path in this location within the next twelve months. Should the property develop
with four townhomes the private drive would need to be constructed to a Local-3 standard,
which requires a sidewalk on one side.
h. Schools: This site is within the boundaries of School District #5. A very minor impact to the
district may be anticipated from the proposed townhouses depending on the demographics
of the residents. On average two students K-12 would be anticipated from four dwelling
units.
4
i. Parks and Recreation: There should be no significant increase in demand on the parks and
recreation programs and facilities as a result of this use. There is significant open space on
site and immediately adjacent to the property are the middle school sports fields.
4. Neighborhood impacts:
a. Traffic: Four townhomes will not have a significant impact on the traffic generated in the
area. It is anticipated that each of the four residential units will produce approximately 9.57
trips ends/day (Per ITE trip generation model). The four units would generate approximately
38 trips per day. The width and quality of Northwest Lane is more than adequate to handle the
additional traffic load.
b. Noise and Vibration: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create any
objectionable noise and vibration beyond what would normally be associated with a single-
family residence.
C. Dust, Glare, and Heat: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create any
objectionable dust, glare, and heat beyond what would normally be associated with a single-
family residence.
d. Smoke, Fumes, Gas, or Odors: Other than during construction, the townhomes will not create
any objectionable smoke, fumes, gas, or odors beyond what would normally be associated
with a single-family residence.
e. Hours of Operation: Hours of operation does not apply to this project since it is for
townhomes. If a home based occupation were to occur the residents would have to comply
with the home based occupation section of the zoning ordinance, outlined in Section
27.20.060.
5. Consideration of historical use patterns and recent changes: The subject property and
surrounding properties were historically developed in the county as ranch homes and subsequently
annexed into the city. This has created a situation where there is more rural type development
adjacent to urban development. Being there are multiple property owners and multiple properties
involved, a unified development plan for the area is unlikely. The property is large in comparison
to most city developments, as the lot is just under an acre in size. More intensive urban
developments have begun to spring up near the subject property, with commercial to the east and
residential to the north. The newer residential development to the north consists of higher density
single-family residences, including townhouses. The R-3 Zoning of the project site and the Urban
Residential land use designation anticipates this kind of townhouse development.
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.
C. RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the Planning Board adopt staff report #KCU-16-02 as findings of fact and
recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the conditional use permit be approved subject to the following
5
conditions:
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. That commencement of the approved activity must begin within 18 months from the date of
authorization or that a continuous good faith effort is made to bring the project to completion.
2. A Final Plat Application will need to be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building
permit.
3. If Lot 2 is developed with four townhouse units the private drive shall be developed to a Local-3
standard and meet the fire department turnaround requirements as provided in the Kalispell
Subdivision regulations. If Lot 2 is developed with two townhouse units the private drive can be
developed to a Local-2 standard.
4. Final designs for storm water management, water service, water meter placement, and sanitary sewer
service for each townhouse that comply with Kalispell's Standards for Design and Construction shall
be submitted for review and approval by the City of Kalispell Public Works Department prior to
construction.
5. Each townhouse unit is required to have individual sewer and water service line connections. The
sewer and water service lines shall be reviewed and approved by the Kalispell Public Works
Department prior to construction. City permits required for driveway and service connections
within the public right-of-way shall be obtained prior to construction.
6. A letter from the Kalispell Public Works Department shall be submitted to the Kalispell Building
Department stating that all new infrastructure has been accepted by the City of Kalispell.

with double and single units with common spaces connecting the
three sections of the housing structures. The materials used will
blend very well with the existing campus.

Please find attached an application for Conditional Use Permit in Kalispell, MT. It is my client's intent to
construct four townhouse units in two separate buildings as shown on the attached Townhouse Plan
drawing. The CUP application requires discussion of the following topics relative to the proposed use.
a. Traffic flow and control: It is anticipated that each of the 8 residential units will produce
approximately 9.57 trip ends/day. (Per ITE trip generation manual); for a total additional traffic
generation of 77 trip ends per day. The adjacent roadway is Northwest Lane, which is a 28' wide
paved roadway. The width and quality of the roadway is more than adequate to handle the
additional traffic load.
b. Access to and circulations within the Property: 'Traffic flow into and out of the development
will be accommodated via one (1) new approach onto Northwest Lane at the west end of the flag
pole of the proposed townhouse parent tract lot. The developer will apply for and obtain an
approach permit prior to installing the access road. A 12' driveway will be constructed to access
the townhouse lot as shown on the Townhouse plan drawing. Each unit will have a 10' wide
driveway to access the garage to each unit as shown on the attached site plan. Each living unit
will contain a single car garage, which meets City requirements for one off-street parking space
per multiple -family living unit.
c. Off-street parking and loadin : Northwest Lane is 28 feet wide and is not wide enough to
support on -street parking. Delivery vehicles and moving trucks will have access to the units
using the access driveway and utilizing the driveway that fronts each townhouse unit. A 20' long
by 10' wide parking spot is included in from of the garage of each unit as can be seen on the site
plan.
d. Refuse and service area: Adequate space between the townhouse units is available for
centralized sold waste containers.
e. Utilities: City of Kalispell water infrastructure currently fronts the property on Northwest Lane.
The townhouse units will be provided sewer and water service by tapping into the existing water
and sewer mains and providing a service to each townhouse unit.
Storm water detention will be provided onsite via either detention/retention ponds or subsurface
Detention & infiltration facilities. Impervious area for entrance driveway and townhouse
driveways is 3935 sq. ft. and the impervious area for the townhouse buildings is 4800 for a
total of 8735 sq, ft. of developed area.
f. Screeninu and buffering: Proposed landscape area and proposed tree planting are shown on the
site plan. It is also proposed to protect the existing trees on the site for screening. The existing
trees a mature in nature and will provide adequate screening of the property. There is an existing
wire fence along the exterior boundary of the property.
g. Signs, yards and other open areas: There are no signs proposed with this project; with the
possible exception of temporary "FOR RENT" signage when a vacancy occurs. All areas of the
site not covered in impervious surfacing will be seeded or soddded and planted as shown on the
attached site plan. Existing trees on the site that do not need to be removed for construction shall
be protected.
h. Height, bulk and location of structures: The structures may be 2 stories with a building
footprint of 1,200 square feet as shown on the site plan. If two stories are constructed, each unit
will be 2,400 square feet. Building height would not to exceed the zoning height restriction of
35' tall from bottom of finished floor to roof ridgeline. Each story of the unit will have a floor
area of 1,200 square feet for a total two story size of 2,400 square feet. The structures will be
located as shown on the attached site plan.
i. Location of proposed open space uses: Open space and natural areas are shown on the attached
site plan. Open space areas can be used for storm water detention/retention facilities.
j. Hours and manner of operation: The hours and manner of operation will be consistent with
residential development.
k. Noise light, dust odors fumes and vibration: Noise, light, odors, fumes and vibration will be
minimal and consistent with residential developments.
If you have any questions, please call me at 752-7808.
