BACKGROUND: This is the second reading of ordinance 1788, an ordinance to rezone a portion of

1788, unanimously upon roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the second
reading of Ordinance 1788, an ordinance to amend Section 27.02.010, official zoning map of the City
of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance 1677, by rezoning certain real property described as an area bounded
on the North by the center line of US Hwy 2, on the West by the center line of 51h Avenue West North,
on the South by the center line of West Center Street and on the East by the center line of US Hwy 93,
located within the SE4 of Section 7, Township 28N, Range 21 W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
