KALISPELL TOWN PUMP #5
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REQUEST
STAFF REPORT #KPUD-17-03
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
JULY 3, 2017
A report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council for a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) from Major Brand Distributing Company, INC. on a 6.9-acre
parcel of land located within the Siderius Commons PUD placeholder. A public hearing on
this matter has been scheduled before the planning board on July 11, 2017, beginning at
6:00 PM, in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will make a
recommendation and forward a set of findings to the Kalispell City Council for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Major Brand Distributing Company, INC. (Town Pump)
has submitted a PUD application on a 6.9-acre parcel of land located within the 13-
2/Siderius Commons PUD Placeholder Zoning District. When the Siderius Commons PUD
Placeholder was put in place, it noted the developer's intent to develop a PUD on the
property and enter into a development agreement with the city before development takes
place. The intent of the PUD Placeholder is to make sure that when the property develops,
it is done via a comprehensive development plan. In this case, Town Pump intends to
expand their existing fuel system located at the southwest intersection of U.S. 93 South
and Cemetery Road, necessitating a PUD application. The existing Town Pump is not
located within the PUD; however, the proposed expansion to the west will encroach into
the Siderius PUD, necessitating this application. The project will include a new fuel canopy,
new fuel islands, increased pedestrian access in the area through a new sidewalk along
Cemetery Road, extension of public water and sewer to serve future developments to the
west, and new approach into the facility. The development is limited to the improvements
noted above; however, the expansion needs to take into consideration how the expansion
fits in with the overall development plan of the entire Siderius Commons PUD.
Planned Unit Developments are intended to serve as an overlay zoning district that
functions in concert with the underlying zones to provide a comprehensive, integrated
development plan, which will serve to modify the underlying zone and guide future
development. The PUD provides for flexibility in the subdivision standards and
architectural designs standards, where appropriate, to preserve and enhance the integrity
and environmental values of the area.
A. Owner/Petitioner: Major Brands Distributing Company, INC.
600 S. Main Street
Butte, MT 5970
B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The property is located at 2910
Highway 93 South and can be legally described as Lot 5 of the Amended Subdivision
Plat of Lots 3 and 5 of Ashley Business Park and Amended Plat of the Amended Plat
of Lot 4 Ashley Business Park Subdivision in Section 29, Township 28 North, Range
21 West, P.M.,M., Flathead County, Montana and Tract 1 of Certificate of Survey
16501 Section 29, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.,M., Flathead County,
Montana
C. Existing Land Use: The area located within the PUD boundary site is undeveloped
grasslands; however, there is an existing Town Pump facility located on the adjacent
property to the east that is looking to expand into the PUD grassland area.
D. Existing Zoning: The subject property is located within the B-2/Siderius Commons
PUD Placeholder Zoning District. The B-2 Zoning District is intended to provide
areas for those retail sales and service functions and businesses whose operations
are typically characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sale of merchandise
and by repair of motor vehicles. The district depends on the proximity to major
streets and arterials and should be located in business corridors or in islands. The
PUD placeholder required that the developer submit a PUD application, such as this
one, prior to development of the site to ensure that the property develops
comprehensively.
E. Adjacent Land Uses:

G. General Land Use Character: The general land use character of this area can be
described as commercial in transition. The intersection of Cemetery Road and U.S.
93 South is developing into a major commercial intersection. Town pump is located
at the southwest corner, Kalispell Toyota at the northeast corner, and two new auto
dealerships currently under construction at the southeast corner. The northwest
corner of the intersection is undeveloped but located within the commercial zoning
district. There is a small residential subdivision to the northwest of the development,
but the area closest to the proposed expansion was annexed into the city in 2010
and also given a commercial zoning designation.

I. EVALUATION OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
Nature of the Request: The nature of the request is relatively limited and includes
a new fuel canopy, new fuel islands, increased pedestrian access in the area through
a new sidewalk along Cemetery Road, extension of public water and sewer to serve
future developments to the west, and new driveway approach into the facility. The
improvements will be taking place on a 6.9-acre parcel just west of the existing Town
Pump facility. As a practical matter it is important that this development does not
inhibit future phases of development of the Siderius PUD. In this case the
development area was planned for commercial and does not inhibit any future utility
extensions that will be needed for the remainder of the property to properly develop.
In addition, additional right-of-way will be provided along Cemetery Road adjacent
the development assuring that it can be developed appropriately as development
progresses in this area.
II. EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA FOR THE PROPOSED PUD
OVERLAY
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-303, M.C.A.
Findings of fact for the PUD overlay request are discussed relative to the itemized
criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A. and Section 27.19.020(4) of the City of
Kalispell Zoning Ordinance.
Does the requested zone comply with the growth policy?
The Kalispell Growth Policy Plan -It 2035 has several goals that support the PUD
request:
Growth Policy 2035, Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, states the following:
GOAL # 1 - Encourage the development and growth of prosperous commercial
and industrial districts, each with a viable mix of business, suitable
infrastructure, and a coordinated development pattern that reduces business
costs and increases small business opportunities.
GOAL #3 -Provide adequate areas within the community for commercial and
industrial development that meets the needs of present and future business
in terms of cost, type, design and location.
POLICIES (General Commercial, b.) - The expansion of additional commercial
districts along major arterials in anticipated to occur at such times as the
development or redevelopment of existing commercial districts have
significantly developed to avoid creation of a new commercial district and
leapfrog development.
Highway 93 South Corridor Area Plan:
Goal #2 - Expansion of commercial development south of Cemetery
3
Road/Lower Valley Road needs to be addressed under a Planned Unit
Develoment in order to adequately address vehicular and pedestrian access,
signage, setbacks, and other issues relating to protecting and preserving
the community entrance to Kalispell.
Goal #4 — Develoment along the Highway 93 South Corridor should occur in
areas where public services, utilities and facilities area available or can be
provided.
The proposed PUD shows an expansion of the existing Town Pump store to the west.
The expansion is away from U.S. 93 South, therefore limiting the visual impacts
along the highway. Additionally, the development does not include any new
approaches onto U.S. 93 South by using Cemetery Road as its primary entrance.
The existing approach off of Cemetery Road will be removed, within an improved
approach being installed further west. Improvements to Cemetery Road include a
new landscaped boulevard and sidewalk which do not currently exist.
2. The effect on motorized and nonmotorized transportation systems?
The requested PUD overlay will positively affect the motorized system and non -
motorized system as it creates a new approach off of Cemetery Road that is further
from the intersection of Cemetery Road and U.S. 93 South, allowing for better staging
at the light. There will also be a new sidewalk system installed along the properties
frontage of Cemetery Road providing additional pedestrian access to the site.
Additionally, a traffic study is required for the development. The traffic impact study
will analyze the traffic impacts associated with a development and recommend
mitigation measures for the increase in traffic. Those recommendations will be
implemented at the building permit stage of the development in order to mitigate the
potential impacts of the associated development. 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. That historical uses and established use patterns and recent change in use trends
will be weighed equally and consideration not be given to one to the exclusion of the
other.
The area located within the PUD boundary site is undeveloped grasslands; however,
there is an existing Town Pump facility located on the adjacent property to the east
that is looking to expand into the PUD grassland area. The intersection of Cemetery
Road and U.S. 93 South is developing into a major commercial intersection. Town
pump is located at the southwest corner, Kalispell Toyota at the northeast corner,
and two new auto dealerships currently under construction at the southeast corner.
The northwest corner of the intersection is undeveloped but located within the
commercial zoning district.
4. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers?
The requested PUD does not contain any features which would compromise the safety
of the public in regards to safety from fire, panic, and other dangers. All new
construction will be required to be in compliance with the safety codes of the city
4
which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal services including police and
fire protection, water and sewer service are available to the properties.
5. Will the requested zone promote public health, public safety and the general welfare?
The requested PUD overlay will promote the health and general welfare by allowing
the continued development of the auto service station within an appropriate B-2/PUD
Zone. The standards provided for within the underlying B-2 Zone will ensure that the
expansion of the auto service facility is safely and appropriately designed and that
the associated commercial traffic is managed and directed to traffic routes designed
to accommodate it.
6. Promotion of compatible urban growth?
The requested PUD does not change the B-2/PUD Zoning District currently on the
property, which allows the property to be developed as an auto service station. The
property being developed as a auto service station is consistent with the the general
land use character of the surrounding area. The PUD maintains the B-2 Zoning
District uses, which are compatible with the established land use pattern in the area
of commercial uses.
7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of people?
The PUD would allow for the expansion of the existing Town Pump facility. It is
anticipated that there will be additional people onsite because of the expansion;
however, the additional people onsite will be mitigated through appropriate site design
and the improvements required through the traffic study.
8. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
The requested PUD does not modify the setback, height, and lot coverage standards
of the B-2 Zoning District, which are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance
to insure adequate light and air are provided.
9. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements?
Improvements to the property such as water, sewer and drainage would be installed
in accordance with city policies and standards at the developer's expense, thereby
insuring that there is adequate provision of services to the site prior to development.
Any development is reviewed by the city's Site Review Committee to ensure any
impacts to the public infrastructure are adequately addressed.
10. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the
property for particular uses?
The proposed PUD in conjunction with the B-2 zoning district is consistent with the
surrounding commercial character of the area and its location adjacent to the U.S.
93 right-of-way.
5
11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of property?
The value of the area will likely increase because city services and improvements to
Cemetery Road are being extended to the far western property boundary that will
provide for additional development in the future.
12. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the 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. As the area is currently developed primarily
as commercial, the most appropriate use of the area would be to allow for the
expansion of the existing Town Pump facility. The PUD plan submitted does not
impact the future development of the remainder of the Siderius PUD negatively, and
adequately addresses impacts of this development. The only areas of the
municipality that will be affected directly by the proposed PUD at this time is the
6.9-acre parcel.
III. Criteria for the Creation of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) District
The intent of the PUD district is to serve as an overlay zoning district. The Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance describes the intent of a PUD district as follows: "The district shall function in
concert with one or more of the underlying zones to provide a comprehensive, integrated
development plan which will serve to modify the underlying zone and, where appropriate,
subdivision standards with the intent of providing flexibility of architectural design and
density as well as providing the option to mix land uses and densities while preserving and
enhancing the integrity and environmental values of an area."
Sections 27.19.020(4) of the zoning regulations provide that the Kalispell City Planning
Board and Kalispell City Council shall review the PUD application based on the following
criteria:
Review of Application Based Upon PUD Evaluation Criteria:
The zoning regulations provide that the planning board and city council shall review the
PUD application and plan based on the following criteria:
A. The compliance of the proposed PUD with the city growth policy and in
particular the density and use policies of the plan;
The Kalispell Growth Policy Plan -It 2035 designates the proposed PUD boundary as
commercial. The B-2/PUD Zoning on the property, which allows auto service stations
as a permitted use, is consistent with the growth policy land use designation of the
site as commercial. The Kalispell Growth Policy Plan -It 2035 has several goals that
support the PUD request:
Growth Policy 2035, Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, states the following:
GOAL # 1 - Encourage the development and growth of prosperous commercial
I
and industrial districts, each with a viable mix of business, suitable
infrastructure, and a coordinated development pattern that reduces business
costs and increases small business opportunities.
GOAL #3 - Provide adequate areas within the community for commercial and
industrial development that meets the needs of present and future business in
terms of cost, type, design and location.
POLICIES (General Commercial, b.) - The expansion of additional commercial
districts along major arterials in anticipated to occur at such times as the
development or redevelopment of existing commercial districts have
significantly developed to avoid creation of a new commercial district and
leapfrog development.
Highway 93 South Corridor Area Plan:
Goal #2 - Expansion of commercial development south of Cemetery
Road/Lower Valley Road needs to be addressed under a Planned Unit
Develoment in order to adequately address vehicular and pedestrian access,
signage, setbacks, and other issues relating to protecting and preserving the
community entrance to Kalispell.
Goal #4 - Develoment along the Highway 93 South Corridor should occur in
areas where public services, utilities and facilities area available or can be
provided.
The proposed PUD shows an expansion of the existing Town Pump store to the west.
The expansion is away from U.S. 93 South, therefore limiting the visual impacts
along the highway. Additionally, the development does not include any new
approaches onto U.S. 93 South by using Cemetery Road as its primary entrance.
The existing approach off of Cemetery Road will be removed, within an improved
approach being installed further west. Improvements to Cemetery Road include a
new landscaped boulevard and sidewalk which do not currently exist.
B. The extent to which the PUD departs from the underlying zoning and the
reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in the public
interest, and the mitigating conditions that the PUD provides to address the
deviations;
The proposed PUD for the expansion of the Town Pump facility does not depart from
the underlying B-2 Zoning District.
C. The extent to which the PUD departs from the subdivision regulations (if
subdivision is anticipated) and the public works standards for design and
construction applicable to the subject property, the reasons why such
departures are deemed to be in the public interest, and the mitigating
conditions that the PUD provides to address the deviations;
The proposed PUD for the expansion of the Town Pump facility does not depart from
the subdivision regulations or Public Works standards for design and construction.
0
D. The overall internal integrity of the PUD including the appropriate use of
internal design elements, the use of buffers between different land uses, the
use of transitions between uses of greater and lesser intensity, the use of
enhanced design features to provide connectedness for both vehicle and
pedestrian traffic throughout the PUD and the use of innovative and
traditional design to foster more livable neighborhoods;
The PUD will be on a 6.9-acre parcel of land located within the B-2/Siderius
Commons PUD Placeholder Zoning District. When the Siderius Commons PUD
Placeholder was put in place, it noted the developer's intent to develop a PUD on the
property and enter into a development agreement with the city before development
takes place. The intent of the PUD Placeholder is to make sure that when the
property develops, it is done via a comprehensive development plan. The proposed
development does not inhibit future phases of development of the Siderius PUD. In
this case the development area was planned for commercial and does not inhibit
any future utility extensions that will be needed for the remainder of the property
to properly develop. In addition, additional right-of-way will be provided along
Cemetery Road adjacent the development assuring that it can be developed
appropriately as development progresses in this area.
E. The nature and extent of the public parks and common open space in the
PUD, the reliability of the proposal for maintenance and conservation of
these areas and the adequacy or inadequacy of the amount and function of
the parks and open space in terms of the land use, densities and dwelling
types proposed in the PUD;
No public parks and common open space are within the PUD because the
development is commercial and no parks or open space are required as part of
commercial development. As the remainder of the Siderius Commons PUD is
developed, it will be important to assure that adequate open space is provided for
within the development. As proposed the expansion of the Town Pump would not
inhibit future plans for parkland.
F. The manner in which the PUD plan makes adequate provision for public
services, provides adequate control over vehicular traffic and furthers the
amenities of recreation and visual enjoyment;
1. Public Services:
Police and Fire Services
The Kalispell Fire Department and Police Department can adequately provide
service to the property. No increased impacts to police and fire are anticipated
as a result of the proposed expansion.
Water and Sewer
The city has the ability to serve the property and any future expansions. Any
new water and sewer mains/ service lines will be required to be installed per
the City of Kalispell Construction and Design Standards, including the
Es3
extension of them to the western property boundary.
Storm water
Storm water runoff from the site shall be managed and constructed per the City
of Kalispell Construction and Design Guidelines. Final design will be approved
by Kalispell Public Works Department prior to building permit issuance. 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.
2. Control Over Vehicle Traffic:
The requested PUD overlay will positively affect the motorized system and non -
motorized system as it creates a new approach off of Cemetery Road that is further
from the intersection of Cemetery Road and U.S. 93 South, allowing for better staging
at the light. There will also be a new sidewalk system installed along the properties
frontage of Cemetery Road providing additional pedestrian access to the site.
Additionally, a traffic study is required for the development. The traffic impact study
will analyze the traffic impacts associated with a development and recommend
mitigation measures for the increase in traffic. Those recommendations will be
implemented at the building permit stage of the development in order to mitigate the
potential impacts of the associated development. 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. Recreational Amenities:
No recreational amenities are required for the expansion as it is a commercial use.
As the remainder of the Siderius Commons PUD is developed, it will be important
to assure that adequate recreational amenities are provided for within the
development. As proposed the expansion of the Town Pump would not inhibit future
plans for recreational amenities.
4. Visual Enjoyment
The proposed PUD shows an expansion of the existing Town Pump store to the west,
which will be difficult to see from the highway. Additionally, improvements to
Cemetery Road will include a new landscaped boulevard with street trees which
does not currently exist.
G. The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the PUD plan upon the neighborhood
in which it is proposed to be established in concert with the underlying zone;
The PUD maintains the B-2 Zoning District uses, which are compatible with the
established land use pattern in the area of commercial uses.
0
H. In the case of a plan which proposes development over a period of years, the
sufficiency of the terms and conditions proposed to protect and maintain the
integrity of the PUD;
The proposed PUD could qualify as the first phase within the Siderius PUD
placeholder. The intent of the PUD Placeholder is to make sure that when the
property develops, it is done via a comprehensive development plan. The proposed
development does not inhibit future phases of development of the Siderius PUD. In
this case the development area was planned for commercial and does not inhibit
any future utility extensions that will be needed for the remainder of the property
to properly develop. In addition, additional right-of-way will be provided along
Cemetery Road adjacent the development assuring that it can be developed
appropriately as development progresses in this area.
I. Conformity with all applicable provisions of this chapter.
No specific departures from the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance or subdivision
regulations can be identified based upon the information submitted with the
application.
