SUBJECT: Ordinance 1795 - KZC-16-04 Core Area B-3 (Core Area Business) Rezone,
Phase 2
MEETING DATE: August 7, 2017
BACKGROUND: A request from the Kalispell City Planning Department to rezone a portion of the
Core Area from B-2 (General Business), B-4 (Central Business) and I-1 (Light Industrial) to B-3
(Core Area Business). The B-3 Zoning District was created specifically for properties within the Core
Area Plan Boundary and the subject properties are located within the heart of that area. Rezoning of
the subject properties from B-2, B-4 and I-1 to B-3 reflects the goals and policies of the Core Area
Plan. All of the property owners within the area to be rezoned were notified about the proposed
rezone. There was originally opposition from one property owner whom wished to be excluded;
however, as outlined below were later included in the zone change proposal. As part of the
notification staff held an open house for the owners and a work session at planning board where staff
could answer any questions about the proposed rezone.
The zone change includes 27 property ownerships and encompasses an 5 1 - acre area bounded on the
north by the center line of U.S. Hwy 2 (Idaho Street), on the west by the centerline of 3rd Avenue East
North, on the south by the center line of Center Street between 3rd and 41h Avenue East North and
then the south side of the BNSF RR R/W from 41h Avenue East North easterly to its intersection with
the easterly end of the city limits along the railroad tracks, located within Section 7 and Section 8,
Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing on January 10, 2017, to consider the
zone change request. Staff recommended that the Planning Board adopt the staff report as findings of
fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the zone change request be approved.
During the public comment portion of the hearing, Tom Rygg, disclosed that he would like to be
included in the zone change after initially being in opposition. There being no further public
testimony, the public hearing was closed and a motion was presented to adopt staff report KZC-16-04
as findings of fact, and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the zone change be approved.
The Board discussed the inclusion of Tom Rygg's properties, at which time a motion was presented
to include his properties in the zone change request. Discussion concluded the request was
appropriate and the motion was approved unanimously. Board discussion concluded that the zone
change was appropriate, and the original motion, as amended passed unanimously on roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the first reading
of Ordinance 1795, an ordinance to amend Section 27.02.010, official zoning map of the City of
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance 1677, by rezoning certain real properties within the Core Area from B-2,
B-4 and I-1 to B-3, located within Section 7 and Section 8, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M.,
Flathead County, Montana, more particularly described in the attached Exhibit "A".
FISCAL EFFECTS: There are no anticipated fiscal impacts at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: Deny the request.

REQUEST FOR ZONE CHANGE FROM B-2 AND B-4 TO B-3
STAFF REPORT #KZC-16-04
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
JANUARY 10, 2017
The following is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell
City Council regarding a request to rezone a portion of the core area from B-2
(General Business), B-4 (Central Business) and I-1 (Light Industrial) to B-3
(Core Area Business). A public hearing has been scheduled before the Kalispell
City Planning Board for January 10, 2017 beginning at 6:00 PM, to consider
the zone change request. The Planning Board will forward a recommendation to
the Kalispell City Council for consideration.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Kalispell Planning Department is requesting that the properties
generally bounded on the north by the center line of US Hwy 2 (Idaho Street),
on the west by the centerline of 3rd Avenue East North, on the south by the
center line of Center Street between 3rd and 41h Avenue East North and then
the south side of the BNSF RR R/W from 41h Avenue East North easterly to its
intersection with the easterly end of the city limits along the railroad tracks be
rezoned from B-2, B-4 and I-1 to B-3. The B-3 Zoning District was created
specifically for properties within the Core Area Plan Boundary and the subject
properties are located within the heart of that area. Rezoning of the subject
properties from B-2, B-4 and I-1 to B-3 reflects the goals and policies of the
Core Area Plan.
The Core Area Plan contains the following policies in support of the B-3 Zoning
of the subject properties:
1. Zoning within the Core Area should accommodate a mix of residential
and commercial uses.
2. Update existing zoning regulations to encourage land uses set out in the
Core Area Plan.
3. Review existing zoning district patterns to ensure the zoning districts are
consistent with the Core Area Plan and rezone areas where there is
conflict.
Staff notified all of the affected property owners within the proposed rezone
area via letter in November and also held an open house on December 13,
2016. The letter and open house were intended to provide information
regarding the process of a rezone and how a rezone to B-3 would affect the use
of their property. To date, only the former Rygg Ford property has an objection
and has been asked to be excluded.
A. Petitioner / Owner: City of Kalispell Planning Department
P.O. Box 1997
Kalispell, MT 59903
B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The zone change includes
26 property ownerships and encompasses an area bounded on the north
by the center line of US Hwy 2 (Idaho Street), on the west by the centerline
of 3rd Avenue East North, on the south by the center line of Center Street
between 3rd and 4th Avenue East North and then the south side of the
BNSF RR R/W from 4th Avenue East North easterly to its intersection with
the easterly end of the city limits along the railroad tracks, excluding
Parcel "A" and Parcel "B" of COS 13660, located within Section 7 and
Section 8, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
C. Existing Land Use and Zoning: The existing land uses within the subject
rezoning area consist of a multitude of commercial business uses including
offices, hotel, restaurant and retail. The area also includes some industrial
uses that include a salvage yard, MDT maintenance and CHS fertilizer
facility. As mentioned previously, the subject properties are located within
the B-2, B-4 and I-1 Zoning Districts. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance
describes the intent of the B-2 Zoning District as:
"A district which provides for a variety of sales and service establishments
to serve both residents of the area and the traveling public. This district
depends on the proximity to major streets and arterials and should be
located in business corridors or in islands. This zoning district would be
typically found in areas designated as commercial and urban mixed use on
the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map."
The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance describes the intent of the B-4 Zoning
District as:
"A business district intended to set apart that portion of the city which
forms the center for financial, commercial, governmental, professional and
cultural activities. This district is not intended for general application
throughout the planning area. This zoning district would typically be found
in areas designated as commercial on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future
Land Use Map".
The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance describes the intent of the I-1 Zoning
District as:
"An industrial district intended to provide areas for light industrial,
research and technology. The uses would typically not create objectionable
characteristics (such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odor, smoke, etc.), which
extend beyond the lot lines. The zoning district would typically be
restricted to area designated as industrial on the Kalispell Growth Policy
Future Land Use Map."
2
D. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning district for the subject properties
is B-3, Core Area Business. The Kalispell Zoning Ordinance describes the
intent of the B-3 Zoning District as:
"A district which is intended to provide a variety of both commercial and
residential uses. Commercial uses would typically include a mix of retail,
office, restaurant, and other similar uses. This zone is based primarily on
the core area plan adopted by the city for the area along the railroad
corridor and is intended to further the goals and policies in that plan."
E. Size: The area to be rezoned is approximately 47.8 acres, including the
adjacent right-of-way.
F. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning:
North: B-2, U.S. Hwy 2, commercial and residential
East: B-2, commercial
South: RA-1, R-3, P-1, residential, electric substation and
Woodland Park
West: B-3, commercial and multi -family
G. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of this area
can be described as commercial with some intermittent light industrial
uses. The commercial business uses including offices, hotel, restaurant

EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA
This report evaluates the amendment request in accordance with state and
local regulations. The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set
forth by Section 27.29.020 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and 76-2-303
3
M.C.A. Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to
the itemized criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A.
1. Is the zoning regulation made in accordance with the growth policy?
The proposal is consistent with the goals and policies of the growth
policy. The growth policy encourages development and redevelopment in
the target development areas (Core Area). Additionally, Chapter 4 of the
Core Area Plan laid out the following "first steps" for implementing the
Core Area Plan:
13. Develop zoning tools that will enable the Core Area to accommodate a
mix of land uses and achieve the Core Area Vision.
a) Develop new zoning tools and creative approaches to enable
property owners to achieve the Core Area vision.
2. Does the zoning regulation consider the effect on motorized and non -
motorized transportation systems?
The zone change would have a minimal effect on transportation systems
since the proposed zoning district is designed to be a live/work
environment and of urban scale where supplemental modes of
transportation would be used. Additionally, any development or
redevelopment is reviewed by the city's site review committee to ensure
any impacts to the transportation system are adequately addressed.
3. Is the zoning regulation designed to secure safetv from fire and other
dangers?
Adequate access and public facilities are available to the properties in the
case of an emergency. There are no features related to the properties
which would compromise the safety of the public. All municipal services
including police and fire protection, water and sewer service are available
to the area.
4. Is the zoning regulation designed to promote public health, public safety,
and the general welfare?
As with safety from fire and other dangers, the general health, safety,
and welfare of the public will be promoted through general city
regulations designed to regulate allowable uses when the property is
developed or remodeled. The standards and uses within the B-3 Zoning
District are the most appropriate for properties within the Core Area and
intended to further the goals and policies of the Core Area Plan.
11
5. Does the zoning regulation consider the reasonable provision of adequate
light and air?
The B-3 Zoning District provides for development standards similar to
Main Street. The proposed standards are consistent with an urban
environment and provide the most efficient use of space in an area with
existing infrastructure. There are also additional standards provided for
within the zoning ordinance that will assure developments provide for
parks, landscaping, parking, etc. that provide reasonable provisions of
adequate light and air.
6. Is the zoning regulation designed to facilitate the adequate provision of
transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public
requirements?
The proposed amendment would have minimal impact on those services.
Any development or redevelopment is reviewed by the city's site review
committee to ensure any impacts to the public infrastructure are
adequately addressed.
7. Does the zoning regulation consider the character of the district and its
peculiar suitability for particular uses?
Rezoning the properties to B-3 reflects the vision created by the Core
Area Plan. A rezoning of the properties to B-3 allows any redevelopment
of the subject properties to maintain and enhance the current built
environment as envisioned by the Core Area Plan.
8. Does the zoning regulation consider conserving; the value of buildings?
The value of buildings within the rezoned area will be enhanced by the B-
3 Zoning District, which provides for increased development
opportunities. The B-3 Zone is a more inclusive zone that provides for
uses and standards the current B-2, B-4 and I-1 Zones do not; such as,
reduced parking, increased height, reduced setbacks and multi -family
uses.
9. Does the zoning regulation encourage the most appropriate use of land
throughout the municipality
The most appropriate land uses throughout the jurisdiction are promoted
by encouraging complementary and compatible uses which promote the
general well-being of all citizens of the community. The only areas of the
municipality that will be affected by the proposed B-3 Zoning District at
this time are the subject properties. The B-3 Zoning District provides for
the most appropriate zoning and provides the tools necessary to
implement the goals and policies of the Core Area Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning
Commission adopt Staff Report #KZC 16-04 as findings of fact and recommend to
the Kalispell City Council that the areas zoned B-2 (General Business), B-4
(Central Business) and I-1 (Light Industrial) be rezoned to B-3 (Core Area
Business).
