Residential" on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map. Spartan Holdings is requesting
the 56-acre site be designated "Urban Mixed Use" on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use
Map. The request is one part of a multi -application process that also includes an annexation and
initial zoning application, and PUD placeholder overlay zone application for the entire 56-acre
property. If the Council feels the growth policy amendment request is appropriate, a motion to
approve the amendment request would precede the remaining application requests.

24, Township 29N, Range 22W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
The Kalispell Planning Board held a duly noticed public hearing April 11, 2017, to consider the
growth policy amendment request. Staff presented staff report KGPA-17-01 providing details of the
proposal and evaluation. Staff reported that the proposed growth policy map amendment was
consistent with the goals and policies of the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020 Plan, and that the applicant
has met the burden of proof requirements for the requested growth policy amendment.
During the public comment portion of the hearing the applicant spoke in favor of the request. There
being no further testimony, a motion was presented to adopt staff report KGPA-17-01 as findings of
fact and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that growth policy map amendment be approved.
Board discussion concluded that the growth policy amendment was appropriate, and the motion
passed unanimously on roll call vote.
The Kalispell City Council, at their meeting on May 15, 2017, held a public hearing on the proposed
amendment in accordance with Section 76-1-604, M.C.A. During the public comment portion of the
hearing a representative of the applicant spoke in favor of the request. There being no further public

REQEST FOR ANNEXATION AND INITIAL ZONING OF B-2 AND RA-2
STAFF REPORT #KA-17-01
REQUEST FOR PUD PLACEHOLDER
STAFF REPORT #KPUD-17-01
REQUEST FOR GROWTH POLICY AMENDMENT
STAFF REPORT #KGPA-17-01
KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT
March 30, 2017
This is a report for the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council
regarding a request from Spartan Holdings, LLC. Spartan Holdings, LLC is requesting
permission to annex approximately 56 acres into the city with an initial zoning of RA-2
(Residential Apartment/Office) and B-2 (General Business). Upon annexation the
applicant is also requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Placeholder and
Growth Policy Map amendment. The subject property is located at 2890 Highway 93
North, generally bound by the Stillwater River on the west and south, U.S. 93 North
on the east and Northern Pines Golf Course and Falkor Defense on the north. The
property can be described as Assessor's Tracts 1F and 3A in Section 25, Township
29N, Range 22W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana and Assessor's Tract 2B in
Section 24, Township 29N, Range 22W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. This is a
multi -application process and the applicant has submitted the following applications:
• Annexation and Initial Zoning - The annexation request and initial city
zoning classification will be reviewed in accordance with Section
27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is requesting
that the zoning for the property be a PUD Placeholder with the underlying
zones being B-2 and RA-2. The subject property will be annexed under the
provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2-4610, M.C.A., Annexation by
Petition.
• Planned Unit Development Placeholder Overlay Zone - Spartan Holdings has
requested a PUD placeholder per Section 27.19.020(2)(b) of the Kalispell
Zoning Ordinance. A PUD Placeholder Overlay Zone designation notes the
applicant's intent to develop a PUD on the property and enter into a
development agreement with the city, binding the property to a future PUD
application but not providing any application materials or development plan
nor receiving any entitlements other than a commitment between the city
and the applicant that when development is to proceed it is done via the
PUD process.
• Growth Policy Map Amendment - Spartan Holdings has applied for a Growth
Policy Map Amendment for the 56 acres of property. The 56 -acre site is
designated as "Suburban Residential" on the Kalispell Growth Policy Map.
Spartan Holdings is requesting the 56-acre site be designated "Urban Mixed
Use" on the Kalispell Growth Policy Map to better align with the proposed
zoning of B-2 and RA-2.
A public hearing has been scheduled before the planning board for April 11, 2017
beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The planning board will
forward a recommendation to -the Kalispell -City -Council for final action. _
A. Petitioner and Owners: Spartan Holdings, LLC
341 West Second Street, Ste. 1
San Bernardino, CA 92401
Agent: WGM Group, Inc.
151 Business Center Loop, Ste. A
Kalispell, MT 59901
B. Location and Legal Description of Property: The 56-acre subject property is
located at 2890 Highway 93 North, generally bound by the Stillwater River on
the west and south, U.S. 93 North on the east and Northern Pines Golf Course
and Falkor Defense on the north. The property can be described as Assessor's
Tracts 1F and 3A in Section 25, Township 29N, Range 22W, P.M.M., Flathead
County, Montana and Assessor's Tract 2B in Section 24, Township 29N, Range
22W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana.
C. Size: The subject property encompasses approximately 56 acres.
D. Existing zoning: The properties are currently in Flathead County jurisdiction
with SAG-10, Suburban Agriculture Zoning. The SAG-10 Zoning District is
intended to provide and preserve agricultural functions and to provide a buffer
between urban and unlimited agricultural uses, encouraging separation of such
uses in areas where potential conflict of uses will be minimized, and to provide
areas of estate -type residential development.
E. Proposed Zoning: The B-2, General Business, zoning designation is proposed
on 19 acres located on the eastern portion of the 56-acre project site along
Highway 93. The B-2 Zoning District provides for a variety of sales and service
establishments to serve both the residents of the area and the traveling public.
The district depends on the proximity to major street and arterials and should be
located in business corridors or islands. This zoning district would typically be
found in areas designated as Commercial and Urban Mixed use on the Kalispell
Growth Policy Future Land Use Map.
The RA-2, Residential Apartment/Office, zoning designation is proposed on the
remaining 37 acres located on the western and southwestern portions of the
56-acre project site. The RA-2 Zoning District provides areas for residential
development including multi -family housing and compatible non-residential
uses of high land use intensity. This district would typically serve as a buffer
zone between other commercial districts and adjacent residential areas. The
location of this district depends on proximity to major streets, arterials, and
business districts. This district shall be located within or adjacent to business
corridors, shopping islands or the Central Business District. The zoning would
2
typically be found in areas designated as Urban Mixed Use, High Density
Residential and Commercial on the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use
Map.
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) placeholder is also proposed to be placed
over -the --entire 56-acre project site -in conjunction with the B=2 -and--RA=2-Zorrirrg-
Districts. The intent of the PUD placeholder is to allow the developer to enter
into a development agreement with the city, binding the property to a future
PUD application. The PUD placeholder does not require the developer to
provide any application materials or development plans and the developer does
not receive any entitlements other than a commitment between the city and the
developer that if development is to proceed it will be done via the PUD process.
Prior to development of the individual properties, the developer would submit
for review and approval a full PUD application as required by the zoning
ordinance.
F. Existing Land Use: The entire 56 acres of land is undeveloped farmlands.
G. Adjacent Land Uses:
North: One single-family residence, Northern Pines Golf Course and Falkor
Defense/Sonju
West: Stillwater River, vacant land and one single-family residence
South: Stillwater River and church
East: Highway 93, Kalispell North Town Center Subdivision, MDT
maintenance yard and Armory.
H. Adjacent Zoning:
North: County SAG-10
West: County SAG-10
South: County SAG-10 and County SAG-5
East: City B-2/PUD and P-1
I. General Land Use Character: The area proposed for development can be
described as a mix of uses. The general land use character of the Highway 93
North corridor though this area is single-family, commercial and light industrial
uses intermittently placed along Highway 93. Moving west and east from the
highway oriented businesses are larger undeveloped tracts or rural residential
tracts of land that area suitable for future development, provided the necessary
infrastructure is in place.
J. Availability of Public Services and Extension of Services: Existing city
infrastructure in this area includes city water and sewer lines within Highway
93. These lines were oversized when put in place by Silverbrook Estates to
serve future developments that would occur on tracts of land at the north end
of Kalispell. The west side interceptor, when completed, will provide additional
sewer capacities for development on the north end of town. A new traffic signal
is also being installed at the intersection of Rose Crossing and Highway 93 as
part of the Kalispell North Town Center Development. The signal is located at
3
the northeast corner of the subject property. The signal will allow development
within the subject property to enter onto Highway 93 at a safe, signalized
intersection while at the same to providing a further extension of Rose Crossing
to the west towards the Stillwater River.
I. EVALUATION OF THE GROWTH POLICY AMENDMENT
The developer is requesting a growth policy amendment for approximately 56 acres to
be changed from Suburban Residential to Urban Mixed Use. No specific criteria have
been outlined to address amendments to the growth policy, but amendments generally
follow public interest criteria. Elements of those criteria are basic to most
comprehensive land use plans, which are a common tool in most communities. In this
case the Growth Policy 2020 is used to provide a general and comprehensive outline of
community goals and expectations about where and how the subject property should
develop. The following criteria for evaluation will be established as follows:
• changes in circumstances that warrant the amendment;
• growth management;
• land use;
• economy;
• environmental considerations;
• community and recreational facilities; and
• Infrastructure and public services.
The proposed plan amendment will be considered in the context of the current Kalispell
Growth Policy 2020 as well as current and future development trends for the area.
Has there been a change of circumstances under which the proposed plan
amendment is being made that warrants its consideration?
The growth policy for Kalispell was adopted in February of 2003 which has been a
useful tool in providing guidance to the community, developers, decision makers and
staff when anticipating growth trends and expansion of the city limits. However,
infrastructure improvements and development patterns in the area have changed in
the following ways:
1. City water and sewer mains have been installed in the US 93N R/W adjacent to
the site as part of the Silverbrook Development thus allowing this site
immediate access to city water and sewer services.
2. The Kalispell North Town Center has broken ground immediately east of this
site. This 480-acre site will accommodate, as its first phase, a 12 lot
commercial development.
3. Rose Crossing is being extended from Whitefish Stage westerly to US Highway
93 immediately adjacent to the north property boundary of this site as part of
the Kalispell North Town Center development.
4. A new signalized intersection will be constructed at Rose Crossing -US 93
intersection in the summer/fall of 2017 as part of the Kalispell North Town
4
Center development. This will allow the subject property to have a controlled
access onto US 93.
5. The west side sewer interceptor is planned to be constructed by the city of
Kalispell in 2018. This interceptor will be part of a multi -phased project that
will greatly increase sewer capacity for projects (including this site) in north
Kalispell.
The changes occurring in this immediate neighborhood coupled with the changes and
improvements to the transportation system which will allow convenient access to this
site create a changed and improved environment for Urban Mixed Use. The
infrastructure projects in the area were not in place when the growth policy and
accompanying map were adopted. The neighboring Planned Unit Developments to the
north and east of the proposed amendment area, in tandem with the extension of the
infrastructure projects in this neighborhood support the requested amendment. The
intersection of Rose Crossing and Highway 93 will develop into a major intersection
that will accommodate the type of development anticipated to occur in an area
designated as Urban Mixed Use very similar to the Kalispell North Town Center to the
east.
Does the proposed plan amendment further the overall goals and objectives of the
growth policy when considering the specific elements of the plan?
Growth Management: Two primary mechanisms for managing growth in the City of
Kalispell exist which are to rely on redevelopment and infill within the current City
limits or annexation of outlying areas. A goal of the growth policy is to provide a
comprehensive, effective growth management plan that provides for all the needs of
the community, is adaptable to changing trends and is attuned to the overall public
welfare.
The changes to the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map from Suburban
Residential to Urban Mixed Use can be supported by the following goals and policies
contained in the Kalispell Growth Policy:
Chapter 3 - Housing, Goal 1 of the Kalispell Growth Policy states, `Provide an adequate
supply and mix of housing that meets the needs of present and future residents in terms
of cost, type, design and location. "
The requested land use change of Urban Mixed Use to the 56-acre project site provides
a potential mix of housing types to meet the needs of present and future residents. The
specific type and design of the future housing in these areas will be determined during a
future PUD application request, at which time a master plan will be developed on the
lands to implement the corresponding land use designation.
Chapter 3 - Housing, Policy 1 Lb of the Kalispell Growth Policy states that "small high -
density residential districts are encouraged to be dispersed throughout the urban area.
These districts should be located predominantly near schools, employment and service
centers, and urban arterials. "
The proposed location of the Urban Mixed Use land use designation could
accommodate a mixture of high density residential and commercial uses. The site is
56 acres and given the natural boundaries, the site has the ability to develop as a
"community within a community." The Urban Mixed Use land use designation will also
be an extension of existing Urban Mixed Use land use at the Kalispell North Town
center, where a new school location is fiemg- considered- and -large emproyme to d
service centers have been planned. The development would be located along Rose
Crossing, which is designated an arterial road. As development proceeds, Rose
Crossing would be extended to the Stillwater River at the west boundary. Rose
Crossing will already be extended with the development of Kalispell North Town Center
from Highway 93 to Whitefish Stage Road. The Urban Mixed Use land being proposed
is in close proximity to Glacier High School, where access is provided via the Kalispell
Bypass and Highway 93.
Land Use: The location of the requested growth policy amendment is currently used for
agriculture. Future conversion of this area from rural agriculture and low density
residential land use to Urban Mixed Use is unavoidable with the changing landscape.
General goals and polices of the growth policy encourage the orderly development in the
growth policy area with space for future expansion while ensuring compatibility of
adjacent land use. The requested growth policy amendment would change the existing
Suburban Residential land use categories to allow for a combination of commercial and
high density residential. This land use designation change is a reasonable request due
to the PUD's located to the east and north and completion of infrastructure projects
including; signalization of Rose Crossing, Rose Crossing improvements, water and sewer
service lines and the west side interceptor. All of the infrastructure improvements have
dramatically changed the landscape of the area.
Given the natural boundaries, the site has the ability to develop as a "community within
a community," limiting its impact on surrounding land uses. Surrounding land uses
consist of the Stillwater River at the west and south, Falkor/Sanju and golf course to
the north and Highway 93 to the east. The proposed land use designation of Urban
Mixed Use will allow the flexibility needed in order to properly integrate with and buffer
the adjacent land uses.
Economy: Chapter 6 - The Economy, GOAL #6 of the Kalispell Growth Policy states
that, new business and industry should be encouraged to locate in areas where sound
infrastructure can be provided.
The types of business locating within an Urban Mixed Use land use category would
provide employment to the community. Also, any potential commercial business and
residents of a high density residential development would benefit from the new signal
which will provide easy access into the city. Amending the growth policy land use
designation on the site to Urban Mixed Use would allow compatible residential and
commercial development at an area rapidly transitioning into a major urban
intersection.
Environmental Considerations: The subject property is located directly adjacent the
Stillwater River. The Stillwater River is mapped by FEMA as a "Zone A" floodplain.
Zone A floodplains are approximate boundaries, so at the time of development a base
flood elevation study will need to be conducted. The Kalispell Subdivision Regulation
M
require a 200' setback from the Stillwater River. The required setback provides
mitigation to potential impacts of water quality, natural habitat, safety concern related
to steep slopes and flooding, as well as providing for passive recreation. Any future
subdivision of the site will require an environmental study of the site, at which time
environmental impacts associated with the development can be considered more
appropriately and mitigated if necessary.
Community and Recreational Facilities: This amendment is a long range planning
tool that seeks to plan appropriately the transitioning area. At the time a Planned Unit
Development application is submitted, recreational facilities would be analyzed in
accordance with the applicable city regulations. The site itself lends itself well to
superior recreational facilities, as the 200' setback area along the Stillwater River
could be used for some recreational uses and also a highway buffer located along
Highway 93, as with other PUD developments at the north end of town.
Infrastructure and Public Services: Planning for a viable mix of commercial services
in areas of adequate infrastructure is another goal of the Kalispell Growth Policy.
Goals 1 and 2 of Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, address the importance of new
commercial services. Goal 1 of Chapter 3 - Housing, addresses the importance of
providing an adequate supply and mix of housing. To achieve these goals, Policies,
7.a., b., c., d., e. and f. establish the location scale and role of Urban Mixed Use areas.
The requested growth policy amendment complies with these policies and is consistent
with the pattern and scale of other Urban Mixed Use areas shown on the Kalispell
Growth Policy Future Land Use Map. The requested amendment also complies with
Recommendation #4 of Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, by centrally locating
commercial services around a rapidly developing intersection. The Transportation
Plan anticipates that Rose Crossing will be extended westerly across this property with
a future bridge spanning the Stillwater Bridge. This needed piece of infrastructure
would serve to degrade the long term use of the property for suburban agriculture
while it would be an asset, via improved transportation access to an Urban Mixed Use
Development designation.
II. ANNEXATION EVALUATION
Compliance with the growth polio
Two primary mechanisms for managing growth in the City of Kalispell exist
which are to rely on redevelopment and infill within the current city limits or
annexation of outlying areas. A goal of the growth policy is to provide a
comprehensive, effective growth management plan that provides for all the needs
of the community, is adaptable to changing trends and is attuned to the overall
public welfare. Chapter 2, Growth Management, contains the following goals
that are relevant to this particular annexation request:
Implement a comprehensive, effective growth management program that
recognizes and upholds the general welfare of the community as well as
individual rights.
2. New urban and suburban development occurs in areas where public
water and sewer are available.
3. Provide adequate areas for growth and expansion with regard to amount,
tinning and location.
In addition, to the three cited goals, the city council adopted an annexation policy
in 2011, with a corresponding map as an addendum to the city's growth policy
document. The purpose of the annexation policy is to give the planning board,
the council, and the development community direction when property owners
outside of the city limits are requesting municipal services and annexation. The
property proposed for annexation falls inside the city's direct annexation
boundary.
2. Municipal Services:
Municipal sewer and water mains, are located within the vicinity of the property
to the east and can be readily extended by the applicant to serve the site when
the property undergoes development.
The site is currently protected by the West Valley Fire District and the Flathead
County Sheriffs office. The applicant has submitted a Notice of Withdrawal
from Rural Fire District. At the time of annexation, the property will be served
by the Kalispell Fire Department. The site lies approximately 1 1/2 miles of fire
station 62 and is readily serviceable by the city fire, police and ambulance
services all of which now respond to the neighborhood of Silverbrook to the
north.
Given the level of existing services available to and in place, annexation of the
property will not overburden the municipal services in place.
3. Distance from current city limits:
The project site is adjacent city limits at its eastern boundary (Kalispell North
Town Center), thus annexation will serve to be a logical expansion of the
existing city limits.
4. Cost of services:
Once annexed to the city, full city services will be made available to the property
owner. Any necessary infrastructure associated with this development will be
required to be constructed in accordance with the City of Kalispell's Design and
Construction standards and any other development policies, regulations or
ordinances that may apply. If annexed, the property owner will be extending
and connecting to city sewer and water at the time of development.
The attached cost of services analysis prepared for this property is for
commercial annexations. The analysis is only an estimate based on a variety of
assumptions. The analysis does not take into consideration changes in methods
0
of assessment and estimated costs associated with services. The information
can only be used as a general estimate of the anticipated cost of services and
revenue.
The cost to serve the land proposed for annexation is shown in the attached
cost of service anal- sis - Initial Annexation. As -the - rope - - -is vacant and- Uie
Y - -- P P �Y ' - - - -- --
property has not been designed it is not possible to calculate the impact fees
and cost of services for the site. The total cost of services is estimated to be $0
at this time since there is no development. Based on the city's taxation and
assessment policies, the property will generate approximately $33,946.62 in
total annual revenue to the city ($13, 331.92 in taxes and $20, 614.70 in
assessments). Based on this analysis, the annexation will be net gain to the city
of approximately $33,946.62.
There are also three (3) outstanding bonds on the property for West Valley Fire
District. Upon annexation the city is required by state law to pay the mill levy
for the bonds until the bond is paid off. The mill levy for the bonds on this
property come out to approximately $56.00 per year and the payoff is
8/ 15/2025 (Total payment toward bonds approximately $504.00).
III. EVALUATION OF PROPOSED INITIAL ZONING BASED ON STATUTORY
CRITERIA
This report evaluates the appropriate assignment of a city zoning classification in
accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The property
owner has petitioned for annexation and initial zoning classification of B-2 and RA-2
with a PUD overlay.
The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-303, Montana
Code Annotated (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. Does the requested zone comply with the Kalispell Growth Policv?
Currently, the proposed zoning of B-2 and RA-2 do not comply with the
Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map, which designates the subject
property as Suburban Residential. As outlined above, the applicants have
requested that the Growth Policy Future Land Use Map be changed to Urban
Mixed Use on the property. The B-2 Zoning District and RA-2 Zoning District are
appropriate zones for the Urban Mixed Use land use category and would be in
compliance if the Growth Policy Map is concurrently amended.
The proposed B-2 (General Business) Zoning District permits a variety of office,
commercial and residential uses that are compatible with the Urban Mixed Use
designation. The B-2 Zoning District depends on the proximity to major streets
and arterials. Designating the eastern half of the project site B-2 allows future
development to incorporate vehicle access directly onto Highway 93 at the new
signal that will be located at the northeast corner of the subject property. Rose
0
crossing, an arterial road will also be extended through the property at time of
development.
The following goals of the Kalispell Growth Policy support the request to zone the
eastern portion of the project site to B-2 upon annexation:
Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, Goal 2, new commercial development
should occur in areas where public water and sewer are available.
Chapter 4 - Land Use, Business and Industry, Goal 6, provide adequate
areas within the community for commercial and industrial expansion and
development.
The following policies within Chapter 4 - Business and Industry (Urban Mixed -
Use areas), of the Kalispell Growth Policy support the request to zone the western
portion of the subject property to RA-2 upon annexation:
Expand the depth of the urban highway commercial areas as mixed -use
corridors, in order to provide an alternative to continued linear commercial
development, concentrate more intensive uses along traffic arterials, improve
business district circulation and transportation efficiency areas, by
secondary street access, provide flexibility for larger development sites, and
expand small business opportunities.
Within these corridor areas, provide for higher -intensity, mixed -use areas
roughly two blocks on both sides of urban highways. As distance from the
highway increases, create a gradual transition into the residential
neighborhoods by encouraging multifamily, office and other compatible
uses as a transition tool with sensitivity to compatible design.
Support for a cohesive design for lots zoned commercial and residential is
included in the following chapters of the growth policy:
Chapter 4 - Business and Industry, Goal 5, large scale retail should be
encouraged to develop in an architecturally compatible way and with
integrated design rather than an isolated development.
Highway 93 North Growth Policy Amendment, Goal 1, gateway entrances
to Kalispell that enhance the community through improved design.
Prior to development of the property the developer would submit for review and
approval a full PUD application as required by the zoning ordinance. Once a full
PUD application is submitted to the city compliance with the design goals listed
above will be evaluated.
In addition to zoning the 56 acres B-2 and RA-2 upon annexation the developer
is also requesting the Planned Unit Development (PUD) placeholder be included
in the zoning. All of the land requesting annexation is unimproved and there is
the potential for one or more of the tracts of land to be sold and developed
separately. This can become a problem if future street and utility connectivity
m
is lost due to poor design. The PUD placeholder will allow the developer to
enter into a development agreement with the city, binding the properly to a
future PUD application. The PUD placeholder will be beneficial to both the
current or future developers and the city as it would take into account the
development of each individual or combination of tracts of land with
surrounding lots and" uses. This broader view of the area will help to ensure
there will be a cohesive design of future streets, sidewalks, storm water,
building location and design and parking on the properties.
In conclusion, the proposed B-2 and RA-2 Zoning Districts with a PUD overlay
are compatible with the Urban Mixed Use land use category. The requested
zoning districts are also consistent with the above stated goals and policies of the
Kalispell Growth Policy.
2. Is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in the streets?
The uses allowed under the proposed B-2 and RA-2 Zones will generate more
traffic than those allowed under the existing SAG-10 county zoning. This is
because the proposed B-2 and RA-2 zoning include high density residential
development in addition to commercial. A new traffic signal is being installed at
the intersection of Rose Crossing and Highway 93 as part of the Kalispell North
Town Center Development. The signal is located at the northeast corner of the
subject property. The signal will allow developments within the subject property
to enter onto Highway 93 at a safe, signalized intersection while at the same to
providing a further extension of Rose Crossing to the west towards the
Stillwater River. By placing the PUD placeholder over the property the city
council will have the authority to review and require alternative transportation
routes and mitigation, thus assuring that both of these features (traffic light
and Rose Crossing extension) are accommodated.
3. Will the requested zone secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers?
Adequate access and public facilities are available or would be constructed in
conjunction with future development of the site in the case of an emergency. Any
new construction will be required to be in compliance with the building safety
codes of the city which relate to fire and building safety. All municipal services
including police and fire protection, water and sewer service would be available to
the property.
4. Will the requested zone promote the health and general welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the health and general welfare
by restricting land uses to those which would be consistent with the city's growth
policy map and provide a place for new residential and commercial uses to locate
within city limits. Additionally, by placing the PUD placeholder over the property
the city council will have the authority to review any development of the site
where its impacts to health and general welfare can be evaluated more
specifically.
5. Will the requested zone provide for adequate light and air?
Setback, height, and coverage standards for development occurring on the
properties are established in the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to ensure adequate
light and air is provided. Additionally, by placing the PUD placeholder over the
property the city council -will -have the authority to review any development
the site where its impacts to light and air can be addressed more specifically.
6. Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land?
The potential development associated with the property would be limited by
both the development standards associated with the B-2 and RA-2 Zoning
Districts that relate to lot coverage and the types of uses permitted under the
zoning. The PUD placeholder will ensure that the uses and layout of properties
included in the annexation will not cause an overcrowding of land. Commercial
and residential development in this area is appropriate because of its location
and the availability of urban services. The PUD placeholder will also allow site
specific review of development compatibility next to Highway 93 and Stillwater
River.
7. Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of people?
Minimum lot standards and use standards will avoid the undue concentration of
people if the properties are further developed. In addition, the PUD process will
help mitigate any impacts associated with the development.
8. Will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements?
All public services and facilities will be provided to the properties prior to
construction, and development is encouraged in the Kalispell Growth Policy 2020
where these services are available. Utility connections and transportation
corridors would be addressed when development is proposed on the property
through the PUD process.
9. Does the requested zone give consideration to the particular suitability of the
property for particular uses?
All of the property is fairly level with the 56-acre projects western and southern
boundaries adjacent the Stillwater River. The RA-2 zoning is proposed along the
Stillwater River corridor. Although the RA-2 Zoning District permits residential
development and conditionally permits multi -family housing, the PUD overlay
and future subdivision of the site will require setbacks to the river mitigating
potential impacts of water quality, natural habitat and safety concerns related
to steep slopes and flooding. The proposed B-2 Zoning District would permit
uses consistent with the surrounding land uses already established along the
Highway 93 corridor. The proposed zoning districts can therefore be found to give
due consideration of the suitability of this property for the permitted uses in the
district.
IN
Given the natural boundaries, the site has the ability to develop as a "community
within a community," limiting its impact on surrounding land uses. Surrounding
land uses consist of the Stillwater River at the west and south, Falkor/Sanju and
golf course to the north and Highway 93 to the east. The proposed zoning
districts with a PUD overlay will allow the flexibility needed in order to properly
integrate with arid -buffer the adjacent -land uses. - --
10. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of the
district?
The character of this area, once primarily large single family lots and agricultural
operations, continues to change. This can be attributed to infrastructure
upgrades occurring and having been installed in the area. The B-2 and RA-2
zoning designations with a PUD placeholder over the entire 56-acre project site
would be appropriate for the site given the existing land uses along the highway
and proximity to new infrastructure being installed that will accommodate urban
growth.
11. Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
Value of the buildings in the area will be conserved because the B-2 and RA-2
zoning will promote compatible and like uses on the project site which can be
found on other properties in the area. The PUD provisions will allow specific site
design and mitigation measures to insure compatibility measures can be
incorporated into the design.
12. Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land
throuj4hout the municipality?
Commercial and residential development should be encouraged in areas where
services and facilities are available to support these types of uses permitted or
conditionally permitted under the B-2 and RA-2 Zoning Districts. The proposed
zoning with a PUD overlay is appropriate given the changes that are occurring in
the vicinity. When development occurs, subsequent PUD review will help to
enhance one of Kalispell's most used gateway entrance corridors, while providing
for both commercial and residential urban development.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning
Commission adopt staff report #KGPA-17-01 and recommend that the growth
policy land use designation for the entire 56-acre site be "Urban Mixed Use" on
the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map.
II. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission
adopt Staff Report #KA-17-01 as findings of fact and recommend to the Kalispell
City Council that the property be annexed and the initial zoning for this property
upon annexation be B-2 (General Business) on 19 acres and RA-2 (Residential
Apartment/Office) on 36.9 acres.

III. Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning
Commission adopt staff report #KPUD- 17-01 as findings of fact and recommend
to the Kalispell City Council that a PUD Placeholder for the entire 56-acre site
be approved subject to the condition listed below:
1. A development agreement with the city shall be drafted, binding the property to a
future PUD application on the entire 56 acres but not providing any application
materials or development plan, nor receiving any entitlements other than a
commitment between the city and the applicant that when development is to
proceed it will be done via the PUD process.
2. The 56-acre placeholder PUD shall be developed as an overall entity utilizing the
full PUD process. Should the property owner sell or transfer any individual
tracts/parcels of land within the 56-acre Placeholder PUD prior to the approval of
an overall PUD for the site, all new and existing owners shall be required to
jointly develop the PUD for the entire site sharing in the costs and conditions of
development as are appropriate to ensure a comprehensive development plan.
3. Interim use in a PUD Placeholder prior to development of the full PUD is
allowed based on the criteria below:
a. All proposed uses and activities of the land and existing structures must
comply with the underlying zone.
b. An administrative conditional use permit would be required to document
and approve the interim use or activity.
c. Only the following activities are allowed:
1. Remodeling/repair/removal of existing structures or buildings;
2. Parking of vehicles and equipment for storage as long as the purpose
is not meant for display from a public right-of-way;
3. Fencing and lighting; and
4. Earth work, site leveling and drainage work.
d. The following new uses and activities are not allowed without the full PUD
application process:
1. Freestanding signs;
2. Additional access points onto a public road system;
3. Expansion of existing structures by more than 10%; and
4. New structures or building development beyond what is otherwise
specifically allowed under this section.
e. Interim use of the property as described above does not relieve the owner
from compliance with overall PUD requirements at the time additional
development beyond the scope of interim development occurs.

KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD & ZONING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING
April 11, 2017
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL
The regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning
CALL
_Commission was called to order at 6:00 _p.m. -Board members_ present_
were Chad Graham, Ronalee Skees, Steve Lorch, Doug Kauffman,
Christopher Yerkes, Rory Young & Charles Pesola. Tom Jentz, Jarod
Nygren and PJ Sorensen represented the Kalispell Planning Department.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Skees moved and Lorch seconded a motion to approve the minutes of
the March 14, 2017 meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and
Zoning Commission.
VOTE BY ACCLAMATION
The motion passed unanimously on a vote of acclamation.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Ryan Hunter — 911 3' Ave E — moved into his home 1 year ago.
Commented on city ordinance that does not allow for planting shrubs or
other vegetation on the boulevards between trees. He feels the ordinance
should be amendable, as a permit is required from Parks and Recreation,
which would allow for review of the proposed materials. He feels the
change would be a positive because vegetation absorbs pollution, cleans
the air, acts as a noise barrier and creates landscaping diversity.
KALISPELL MEETING
A request from Kalispell Meeting Halls, INC for a text amendment to
HALLS, INC
the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to allow "private" schools within the
commercial zoning districts (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4 and B-5), provided a
conditional use permit is obtained.
STAFF REPORT
Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed
Staff report #KZTA-17-01 for the board.
Nygren explained that currently "public" schools are provided for within
the commercial zoning districts, but "private" schools are not. This
amendment would allow for "private" schools in the specified
commercial zoning districts.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt the
findings in staff report KZTA-17-01 and recommend to the Kalispell
City Council that the proposed text amendment be adopted as provided
herein.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Graham inquired as to why this was not already a part of the ordinance.
Sorenson responded that the last major update to the zoning ordinance
was in 2009/2010 and the distinction was made that since the public
schools claim agency exemption under state law they were permitted in
all zones. Although exempt, they would still be required to go through
architectural and site review committees. Private schools do not claim
agency exemption so they were not included in all the zones at that time.
However, since the uses seem to be similar in impact, staff feels that
they should be provided for within the commercial zones, as public
schools are.
Lorch in uired about required setbacks for casinos in regards to public
Kalispell City Planning Board
Minutes of the meeting of January 10, 2017
Page 11
and private schools. Sorenson advised there is no distinction between
public and private. Nygren added that as a city we have taken a stance
that in the downtown area in the B3 and B4 zones that the setback would
not apply to liquor licenses/accessory casinos. Therefore, in B1, B2 and
B5 the casinos would need to follow the setbacks required by the
ordinance. Lorch asked then if that is inherent with the regulations as
proposed or is that something that would have to be changed to avoid
that if it is an unintended consequence. Jentz advised that casinos (full
standing) shall be a minimum of 600 feet from churches, schools, parks
and city residential zones. Accessory casinos may be within 600 feet.
Nygren added that this is not a limitation on a school going in near a
casino; it is a limitation on a casino going in near a school, so it would
not have any impact on a public or private school looking for a place to
locate. Where it would have potential impacts is on a full casino looking
to locate within 600' of a school.
PUBLIC HEARING
None.
MOTION
Yerkes moved and Kauffman seconded a motion that the Kalispell City
Planning Board and Zoning Commission adopt staff report KZTA-17-01
and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed text
amendment be adopted as provided herein.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Graham asked Lorch if he is still concerned with the 600ft setback and
an unintended consequence. Lorch responded his concern is that
bringing schools into downtown may prevent restaurant/casinos that
serve alcohol from locating downtown. Jentz reminded Lorch that the
ordinance applies to full casinos not accessory casinos.
ROLL CALL
The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
NORTHWEST AUTOMOTIVE
A request from Northwest Automotive for a conditional use permit for

entire 56-acre site be approved subject to the conditions listed in the staff
report.
BOARD DISCUSSION
Graham inquired about the 100% buffer of the surrounding land uses and
the proposed trail. Nygren responded that the proposed land use
designation of Urban Mixed Use would allow the flexibility needed in

phased PUD" rather than a joint PUD. He went on to say that, they feel it
will prevent the PUD from becoming disjointed if the property were to
later be sold off to different owners. Nygren advised the board that staff
has no objections with the proposed change to the condition.

GROWTH POLICY UPDATE Kalispell Growth Policy Update — PLAN -IT 2035. The Kalispell City
Council Growth Policy sub -committee has spent the past year reviewing
and updating the text of the Kalispell Growth Policy. The updated draft
addresses a number of key topics that affect the future growth and
development of the City of Kalispell.
STAFF REPORT I Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department
Staff report #KGPA-14-01 for the board.
Nygren went over the timeline from when the Growth Policy was first
adopted in 2003. It is a document that is adopted as a vision for future
growth in and around the city for the next 15+ years. In 2012, the city
planning staff began a process of updating the Kalispell Growth Policy.
The staff attended more than 40 community meetings w/ community
groups, local agencies and service providers within the City of Kalispell.
During this time, the staff was drafting the 2030 Growth Policy update.
Beginning fall 2013 through summer 2014 the planning board conducted
a series of 12 meetings where the board individually went through the
document page by page updating the issues, goals and policies and
recommendations contained in the draft Growth Policy Update 2030.
Following those 12 meetings, the planning board recommended approval
of the draft on August 12, 2014 sending the recommendation of approval
for the draft on to City Council. At which time the City Council held two
work sessions on the draft in the fall of 2014. Following the work
sessions, the draft was placed on hold until November 2015 when the
City Council held another work session on the draft and established a
growth policy sub -committee. That sub -committee, over the entire
course of 2016, met a total of 8 more times going through the draft page
by page. These meetings were open to the public as well. Overall, the
focus was to make the draft more concise and more user friendly. The
only new content that was added to the growth policy was a healthcare
chapter.
Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board recommend to
the Kalispell City Council that the draft Kalispell Growth Policy Update
Plan it 2035 be adopted to replace the current Kalispell Growth Policy
2020 and authorize the planning board president to sign Resolution
KGPA-14-01, a resolution replacing the current Growth Policy 2020
with Growth Policy 2035.
BOARD DISCUSSION Lorch noted that in the Business and Industry section of the Growth
Policy there is a statement regarding DNRC Trust Lands that says "the
development of the DNRC section 36 land is difficult for small business
due to lack of infrastructure improvements despite high demand" and he
understands the sentiment but believes it is stated in a way that sounds a
bit negative in regards to trust lands. He asked for some context for from
staff. Nygren responded it was put in place because that area of trust
lands has been in high demand in regards to healthcare development and
due to the lack of infrastructure, they have turned away from it. The sub-
committee felt it was necessary to be included as it is important to have a
satellite area for healthcare development.

a. An overall description of the goals and objectives for the
development of the project
The Stillwater Bend project will create a "community within a community"
by mixing residential and commercial land uses with the requested B-2
and RA-2 zoning districts. The subject property is surrounded by existing
buffers such as the Stillwater River, the golf course, and U.S. Highway 93
that create the ability to design a project that feels like a community and
may have opportunities to live, work, shop and recreate. Details of lot
layout, access layout and product types are not known at this time, but the

requested PUD Placeholder will ensure adequate public review of any
future project design.
b. In cases where the development will be executed in increments, a
schedule showing the time within phase will be completed.
The project is likely to be developed in phases, however a phasing plan
has not been developed at this time. A phasing plan will be required prior
to development due to the requested PUD Placeholder.
c. The extent to which the plan departs from zoning and subdivision
regulations including but not limited to density, setbacks and use,
and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in
the public interest;
The requested PUD Placeholder will ensure that future development is
reviewed as a PUD and all departures from the requested B-2 and RA-2
zoning will be presented and justified.
d. The nature and extent of the common open space in the project and
the provisions for maintenance and conservation of the common
open space; and the adequacy of the amount and function of the
open space in terms of the land use, densities and dwelling types
proposed in the plan;
The project will have a 200' setback from the Stillwater River and a 100'
setback from U.S. Highway 93. Other open spaces, common areas, parks
etc. will be presented with a PUD Full Application in the future. The
requested PUD Placeholder will ensure public review of the design of
development on the subject property.
e. The manner in which services will be provided such as water, sewer,
storm water management, schools, roads, traffic management,
pedestrian access, recreational facilities and other applicable
services and utilities.
The requested PUD Placeholder will ensure that information regarding
water, sewer, stormwater management, schools, roads, traffic
management, pedestrian access, recreational facilities etc. will be
submitted as part of a PUD Full Application at some point in the future.

f. The relationship, beneficial or adverse, of the planned development
project upon the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be
established.
The requested PUD Placeholder will ensure that a detailed development
plan will be submitted in the future with a PUD Full Application. However,
the subject property is uniquely situated in an area that is already buffered
from adjoining land uses. The Stillwater River is the boundary of much of
the property, creating a natural buffer between single-family residential
land uses to the west and southwest. Development design under a PUD
would incorporate a significant setback. The presence of the Stillwater
River will significantly mitigate impacts to adjoining land uses. An existing
golf course creates a significant open space buffer on the north side of the
subject property and provides a valuable scenic amenity. Lastly, U.S.
Highway 93 along the east side of the subject property provides access
while buffering from land uses to the east. Therefore, the subject property
is buffered from encroachment into existing neighborhoods and mixed
land uses are an ideal land use in this location for creating a unique and
desirable development.
g. How the plan provides reasonable consideration to the character of
the neighborhood and the peculiar suitability of the property for the
proposed use.
The requested PUD Placeholder will ensure that a detailed development
plan will be submitted in the future with a PUD Full Application. However,
the unique boundaries of the subject property create buffers that allow for
creating a "community within a community" where connections between
commercial and residential development occur naturally. The subject
property lends itself to a system of pathways that take advantage of the
unique proximity to the Stillwater River and the golf course. The highway
frontage allows for commercial land uses that blend and transition to
residential land uses with increased distance from the highway. The
naturally occurring buffers surrounding the property prevent encroachment
of the mixed -use development into established, intact residential areas.
Lastly, the subject property is uniquely situated to provide desirable space
for a live, work and shop arrangement by providing valuable spaces for a
variety of products including retail, professional offices, multi -family
residential and even recreational accommodations.
h. Where there are more intensive uses or incompatible uses planned
within the project or on the project boundaries, how will the impacts
of those uses be mitigated.

There is no detailed plan for lot layout or product types within the Stillwater
Bend development at this time. The requested mix of B-2 and RA-2 zoning
will allow for blending of land usesthattake full- advantage of the unique- -
attributes of the subject property. The requested PUD Placeholder will
ensure that careful consideration is given to the compatibility of adjacent
land uses in the future. A PUD Full Application will be required prior to
development of the subject property, and the application will undergo a
thorough public review process.
i. How the development plan will further the goals, policies and
objectives of the Kalispell Growth Policy.
The requested PUD Placeholder is accompanied by a request for an
amendment to the Kalispell Growth Policy. The Growth Policy amendment
application narrative contains a thorough review of goals, policies and
objectives that are applicable to an urban mixed use development on the
subject property (Criteria D.a). See also Attachments A and B.

the property where there is an existing joint -use approach. This
access is planned to be improved to a signalized intersection in the
near future by the Kalispell North Town Center development. Any
significant development of the subject property will require
preparation of a Traffic Impact Study and review and approval by
the Montana Department of Transportation. A secondary or
emergency access to U.S. Highway 93 may be developed at the
southeast corner of the property, and this access would similarly
require review and approval by the Montana Department of
Transportation. Additional information regarding internal multimodal
circulation will be required when a PUD Full Application is
submitted in the future prior to development of the subject property.

The requested amendment to the Kalispell Growth Policy (Growth Policy)
is to change the Future Land Use Designation of approximately 55.9 acres
on the Future Land Use Map. The property on which the change is being
requested is on the west side of U.S. Highway 93, one mile north of the
intersection of U.S. Highway 93, U.S. Highway 93 Alternate and West
Reserve Drive. Currently the subject property is designated "Suburban

Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 2 of 12
► MAto►A
Residential' (see Attachment A). The landowner is requesting to amend
the future land use designation to "Urban Mixed -Use" (see Attachment B).
This area of Kalispell is currently undergoing a rapid transition due to:
• Completion of the U.S. Highway 93 Alternate (Kalispell Bypass)
terminating one mile south of the subject property;
• Existing municipal water and wastewater facilities within the U.S.
Highway 93 right of way;
• Anticipated additional wastewater conveyance capacity due to the
planned West Side Interceptor Project; and
• Multiple recent annexations and a variety of developments
underway in the vicinity of the subject property including
commercial and residential land uses.
The Growth Policy is used to guide development and growth in and
around the City of Kalispell, and is the document upon which
consideration of development decisions should be based. This purpose is
explicitly stated in Chapter 1, Policies 1 and 4. The requested amendment
is being submitted by a private landowner to accommodate growth and
development in the City of Kalispell in an area where rapid change has
occurred since the Growth Policy was written and adopted. Requests to
amend the Growth Policy in these circumstances are allowed pursuant to
Policies 6 and 9, as well as Recommendation 5, both of which are found in
Chapter 1.
The timing of the requested amendment is appropriate given recent
commercial and residential growth patterns on the north side of Kalispell
as well as the existing and planned improvements to wastewater and
transportation infrastructure on the north side of Kalispell. The Growth
Policy addresses the timing of development and land use transitions in
Chapter 2. Goals 1, 4, 5 and 6 of Chapter 2 address growth and are
implemented primarily through Policy 6. The subject property on which the
amendment is being requested is adjacent to a major transportation
corridor in an area already adjacent to and served by municipal facilities
and services. Therefore, the location and timing of the requested
amendment to the Future Land Use Map is consistent with Policy 6.
Chapter 3 of the Growth Policy establishes goals, policies, and
recommendations for housing. The requested amendment would allow for
additional "Urban Mixed -Use" land use adjacent to U.S. Highway 93 on
the north side of Kalispell. Mixed -use developments typically contain
higher -density residential land uses located within a closer proximity to
commercial services, sometimes in the same building. Implementation of
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment - Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 3 of 12
,MAIfI•I
the "Urban Mixed -Use" future land use designation typically involves urban
density housing developed with convenient access to commercial
services. Therefore, the requested amendment is consistent with Policies
10 and 11 in Chapter 3.
Planning for the development of new commercial districts with a viable mix
of commercial services in areas with adequate infrastructure is a goal of
the Growth Policy, Goals 1, 2 and 9 of Chapter 4 address the importance
of land use planning that is responsive to business needs and trends in
commercial growth. To achieve these goals, Policy 7 addresses the
location of "Urban Mixed -Use Areas." The subject property is ideally suited
for growth that achieves all of the policies for urban mixed -use
development, including recreation amenities, access to an urban highway
corridor and buffering to prevent the new mixed -use development from
encroaching into "established, intact residential areas."
The requested amendment is also located within the Highway 93 North
Growth Policy Amendment from 2003. Although much has changed since
2003, the requested amendment is generally compliant with the intent of
this amendment because it is seeking to locate additional mixed -use
development along a highway corridor to help create an integrated
neighborhood rather than a linear strip development. Access to U.S.
Highway 93 will be limited by existing approaches, and commercial activity
will serve both the residential land uses within the development as well as
the greater community.
b. Project feasibility and a schedule showing the timeframe in which
each phase will be completed.
The applicant does not have a specific project layout in mind at this time.
However, the requested amendment is consistent with the goals, policies,
and recommendations in the text of the Growth Policy (see applicable
Goals, Policies, and Recommendations in the applicant's response to
Criteria D.a., above). A request for annexation, zoning and a PUD
Placeholder is being submitted with the application for a growth policy
amendment to provide the City of Kalispell assurance that the subject
property will be developed in the future with careful design and adequate
public review.
c. A showing of the conformance of this amendment with the growth
policy overall.
An inventory of the goals, policies, and recommendations contained in the
Growth Policy that are applicable to the requested amendment is
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 4 of 12
contained in the applicant's response to Criteria D.a., above. Overall, the
Growth Policy seeks to encourage well -designed growth that is efficiently
located and beneficial to the community. Mixed -use developments allow
for flexibility of design that benefits both the developer as well as the
community by accommodating a diversity of commercial and residential
product based on community need.
d. A convincing showing of need.
The Flathead Valley has a shortage of workforce housing. High land costs
and high costs of entitlement and infrastructure construction contribute to
a limited overall supply of rental housing. A limited supply of quality rental
housing drives rent prices beyond the reach of many residents. As a
result, much of the existing and planned rental housing is located where
land is more affordable, but basic goods and services are located too far
away to allow a choice between driving, walking or riding a bicycle.
Furthermore, the design of many developments fails to incorporate multi -
modal transportation facilities.
There is a continued need for quality mixed -use development in which
residents can live and access basic goods and services with a choice of
multi -modal transportation methods. The requested amendment,
combined with the annexation, initial zoning and PUD Placeholder on the
subject property will be a step towards helping to meet this need and is
consistent with the Growth Policy.
e. A showing of neighborhood compatibility. Where there are more
intensive uses or incompatible uses planned within the plan area or
on the boundaries, how the impacts of those uses would be
mitigated.
The subject property is uniquely situated in an area that is already
buffered from adjoining land uses. The Stillwater River is the boundary of
much of the property, creating a natural buffer between single-family
residential land uses to the west and southwest. Development design
under a PUD would incorporate a 200' setback. The presence of the
Stillwater River will significantly mitigate impacts to adjoining land uses.
An existing golf course creates a significant open space buffer on the
north side of the subject property and provides a valuable scenic amenity.
Lastly, U.S. Highway 93 along the east side of the subject property
provides access while buffering from land uses to the east. Therefore, the
subject property is buffered from encroachment into the existing
neighborhood and mixed land uses are an ideal land use in this location
for creating a unique and desirable "community within a community."

f. A showing of transportation impacts and general proposed
mitigation measures.
The subject property will be primarily accessed from U.S. Highway 93 at
the northeast corner of the property where there is an existing joint -use
approach. This access is planned to be improved to a signalized
intersection in the near future by the Kalispell North Town Center
development. Any significant development of the subject property will
require preparation of a Traffic Impact Study and review and approval by
the Montana Department of Transportation. A secondary or emergency
access to U.S. Highway 93 may be developed at the southeast corner of
the property, and this access would similarly require review and approval
by the Montana Department of Transportation. U.S. Highway 93 north of
Kalispell is a state highway facility with capacity to accommodate
additional traffic.
Future development will also require adequate internal road infrastructure.
All future internal roads must be designed and built in compliance with the
City of Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. These standards
include a trigger for requiring a traffic impact analysis and also contain
criteria for safe access to public roadways.
Therefore, the transportation impacts of changing the current future land
use designation from "Suburban Residential" to "Urban Mixed Use" will be
minimal given the multiple design review procedures and impact mitigation
requirements applicable at the time of development.
g. A listing of the environmental impacts associated with the plan
amendment.
The subject property is currently used for agriculture. Future conversion of
this area from rural agricultural land uses to urban mixed -use land uses
will unavoidably alter the existing landscape. However, the impacts of
urban mixed -use development may either be negligible or can be
adequately mitigated.
1. Impacts to the Human Environment
The area of the subject property is generally free of sensitive human
environmental conditions that could be negatively impacted by
development. There are no at -risk human populations that may be
disproportionately impacted in this location. There are no historic
structures or sensitive religious land uses in the area. Urban mixed -use
development such as multifamily housing, coffee shops, churches,
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 6 of 12
►MA0H1A
i U l.i ,
restaurants and offices generally do not disproportionately create
objectionable byproducts that may negatively impact the human
population such as smoke, fumes, noise, detrimental electromagnetic
fields, changes in air temperature, solid waste, or chemicals that must
be treated and/or disposed. Urban mixed -use development in the area
of the requested growth policy amendment will not alter the social
structure of the community or require relocating people or jobs. Urban
mixed -use development generally contributes students to public
schools, additional demand for public health services and parks and
recreation programming. However, urban mixed -use development also
contains commercial land uses that typically contribute to the tax base
at a level that creates a net benefit to community services and
infrastructure.
Traffic associated with commercial development can negatively impact
the human environment if located adjacent to incompatible land uses
or if access is not adequately designed for safety and efficiency.
Aesthetics of any development can negatively impact the human
environment if development occurs in a manner that is inconsistent
with the scale and context of the area or inconsiderate of the needs of
all community members. Signage that is unsightly or unsafe can also
negatively impact the human environment. Once annexed into the City
of Kalispell with initial zoning and a PUD Placeholder, future
development of the subject property will be required to demonstrate
careful overall design as well as meet city standards for access,
parking and internal circulation as well as signage and architecture.
The City of Kalispell regulates the design and construction of
development using the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance and the City of
Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. Meeting these
standards will ensure no disproportionately negative impacts to the
human environment as a result of traffic or the aesthetics of a
development project. Finally, the location of the requested growth
policy amendment is adjacent to U.S. Highway 93 and access will be
reviewed by the Montana Department of Transportation.
2. Impacts to the Natural Environment
The subject property is located directly adjacent to the Stillwater River.
This significant environmental feature requires careful consideration
and mitigation of development impacts. Development of the subject
property can be designed in harmony with the river to provide value to
both the natural environment and the community. Montana Fish,
Wildlife and Parks recommends substantial vegetated buffers plus
additional structure setbacks when developing adjacent to rivers. The
Kalispell Subdivision Regulations require 200' setbacks from the
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 7 of 12
►MAYN1A
Stillwater River. These vegetated buffers and setbacks can provide all -
in -one mitigation of potential impacts to water quality, natural habitat,
safety concerns related to steep slopes and flooding, as well as
provide protection of valuable urban open space and a location for
active and passive recreation such as trails and parks. A PUD
Placeholder is being requested as part of the annexation and initial
zoning of the subject property. The PUD approval process that will be
required due to the PUD Placeholder provides a high-level of security
to the community that development of the subject property will
adequately mitigate impacts to and from the adjoining Stillwater River.
The Stillwater River adjacent to the subject property is mapped by
FEMA as a "Zone A" floodplain. Zone A floodplains are approximate
floodplain boundaries. However, the substantial relief adjacent to the
river provides vertical protection against future flooding (FEMA FIRM
Panel #30029C1 41 5J).
Once annexed into the City of Kalispell, any future development within
the area of the requested amendment will also be required to meet city
standards for storm water design found in Chapter 4 of the City of
Kalispell Standards for Design and Construction. Meeting these
standards will ensure no disproportionately negative impacts to the
natural environment as a result of increased impervious surface or
storm water runoff from a development project.
h. A listing of all known site hazards and general mitigation strategies.
Known environmental constraints and proposed mitigation strategies are
discussed in the applicant's response to Criteria D.g.1 above. The
technical representative conducted a site visit and preliminary review of
existing maps and historic aerial imagery, as well as a review of known
hazardous materials sites contained in the 2008 Flathead County Pre -
Disaster Mitigation Plan. There are no known hazardous chemical or
biological conditions, no known nearby sources of airborne contaminants,
no known hazardous weather or climatic conditions, no known hazards
resulting from existing or planned access or road conditions, no known
high -capacity overhead power lines or gas pipelines, no known noise
hazards, no known hazards associated with adjoining land uses such as
explosive materials or hazardous chemicals, and no known soil or
substrata hazards.
L A strategy for the adequate provision of local services.
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 8 of 12
►NMAM1A
The location of the requested amendment is not currently within Kalispell
city limits. The City of Kalispell is immediately adjacent to the subject
property to the east across U.S. Highway 93. A petifion for annexation to
the City of Kalispell and request for initial zoning as well as an application
for a PUD Placeholder is being submitted with this application for an
amendment to the Growth Policy. Once annexation is complete, local
services may be provided as follows:
1. Water
A municipal water facility is located adjacent to the east side of the
subject property on the west side of the U.S. Highway 93 right of way.
Accessing any City of Kalispell water facility in the future will require
coordination with the City of Kalispell Public Works Department and
compliance with Section 3.2 of The City of Kalispell Standards for
Design and Construction.
2. Sewer
A municipal wastewater facility (gravity main) is located on the east
side of the U.S. Highway 93 right of way. Accessing this City of
Kalispell sanitary sewer facility in the future will require coordination
with the City of Kalispell Public Works Department and compliance
with Section 3.3 of The City of Kalispell Standards for Design and
Construction.
3. Police
The Kalispell Police Department will provide routine patrol of the area
and response in the event of an emergency. Given the exemplary
resource utilization and response times of the Kalispell Police
Department and proximity of the subject property to U.S. Highway 93,
adequate law enforcement services can be anticipated at the time of
development.
4. Fire
The City of Kalispell's north side Station 62 is located at 255 Old
Reserve Drive and is currently approximately 2 road miles away from
the subject property. Future development will be required to meet City
of Kalispell Fire Code, including sprinklers and exit signage for large
multi -family and commercial structures. Given the close proximity of a
City of Kalispell fire station and the likelihood of development including
commercial structures built to modern fire codes, fire services will be
adequate to serve the subject property in the future.

r - I I L
5. Parks and open space, trails and pedestrian ways
A major design element of any development on the subject property
will -be utilization of the river corridor for open -space and active and - --
passive recreation. Internal paths will be an integral part of a
development design, and connectivity to adjoining property and
ultimately to arterial paths will occur as adjoining properties are
annexed and developed.
6. Storm water
Mitigating the impacts of storm water runoff will be the responsibility of
the developer at the time of development. In the City of Kalispell
Standards for Design and Construction, Chapter 4 is entirely devoted
to the subject of storm water design. Storm water management
facilities will be designed and constructed at the time of development
to maintain the pre -developed runoff condition in the area of the
requested growth policy amendment.
7. Schools
Urban mixed -use development typically includes high -density
residential land uses as well as commercial land uses. High -density
residential land uses typically contribute school -age children to the
local school district. Commercial development typically does not
introduce significant impacts to community schools. Although
commercial development does not increase demand for services from
schools, commercial development does pay taxes to the local school
district and this commercial tax revenue can be an important source of
school funding.
8. Gas and electricity
Location and extension of necessary utilities such as gas, electric,
cable, and telephone will be coordinated with service providers at the
time of development. Electricity and telephone are likely already
available in the U.S. Highway 93 right of way. Given the proximity of
the subject property to other urbanized areas of the City of Kalispell,
other utilities are likely available to be extended as necessary at the
time of development.
j. A showing of the appropriateness of the proposed location of the
project.
The location and unique attributes of the subject property are consistent
with policies for mixed -use land uses and development found in Chapter 4
of the Growth Policy. The unique boundaries of the subject property
create buffers that allow for creating a "community within a community"
Kalispell Growth Policy Amendment — Spartan Holdings, LLC
February 2, 2017
Page 10 of 12
►�MAINLVA
where connections between commercial and residential development
occur naturally. The subject property lends itself to a system of pathways
that take advantage of the unique proximity to the Stillwater River andthe
golf course. The highway frontage allows for commercial land uses that
blend and transition to residential land uses with increased distance from
the highway. The naturally occurring buffers surrounding the property
prevent encroachment of the mixed -use development into established,
intact residential areas. Lastly, the subject property is uniquely situated to
provide desirable space for a live, work and shop arrangement by
providing valuable spaces for a variety of products including retail,
professional offices, multi -family residential and even recreational
accommodations.
k. The extent to which the plan departs from the existing growth policy
and the reasons why such departures are or are not deemed to be in
the public interest.
The Growth Policy is replete with goals, policies and recommendations
regarding the need for growth and development to occur in areas of
existing facilities and services. The requested amendment would change
the future land use on approximately 55.9-acres from "Suburban
Residential" to "Urban Mixed -Use." The subject property is already
adjacent to a large area of "Urban Mixed -Use" designation on the east
side of U.S. Highway 93 that is now beginning to develop. Part of that
development includes an extension of Rose Crossing from Whitefish
Stage Road west to U.S. Highway 93 with a signalized intersection at the
highway. The subject property can use this signalized intersection for
efficient, convenient and safe access. Municipal water and wastewater
facilities are located within the U.S. Highway 93 right of way adjacent to
the subject property. Other municipal and emergency services are already
provided to property near the subject property.
Therefore, amending the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map to
increase the "Urban Mixed -Use" future land use designation on the west
side of the future intersection of Rose Crossing and U.S. Highway 93 is
not a departure from the existing growth policy. The requested
amendment to the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map will, in
fact, bring the map into better compliance with the stated goals, policies,
and recommendations of the text of the Kalispell Growth Policy.
I. Include site plans, drawings and schematics with supporting

Metes and Bounds Legal Description, which is herewith incorporated in and
made a part of this legal description.
4. Changed or changing conditions that make the proposed amendment
necessary:
The subject property is located on the west side of U.S. Highway 93 on the north
side of the City of Kalispell. This area of Kalispell is transitioning rapidly to a more
urban, mixed -use landscape. Municipal water and wastewater services are
adjacent to the subject property making development using on -site water and
wastewater facilities under the current county zoning infeasible. Development of
commercial and residential land uses on the subject property after annexation
would increase the cost-effective delivery of public services by adding more
users to existing water and wastewater facilities. Planned increases in the
capacity of these facilities (West Side Interceptor Project) further underscore the
appropriateness of developing the subject property.
Recently an application for the Kalispell North Town Center development was
submitted to the City of Kalispell. This development plans to bring Rose Crossing
west from Whitefish Stage Road and create a signalized intersection with U.S.
Highway 93. This signalized intersection will be adjacent to the northeast corner
of the subject property. The proposed annexation and zoning will allow the
subject property to access U.S. Highway 93 at a safe, signalized intersection as
well as provide a further extension of the Rose Crossing corridor west towards
the Stillwater River. The recently -completed Kalispell Bypass also now intersects
with U.S. Highway 93 only one mile south of the intersection of Rose Crossing
and U.S. Highway 93.
Petition for Annexation and Initial Zoning - Spartan Holdings, LLC ,,.,��1.
February2, 2017
Page 4of4 = 0 _J '°
Planned land uses on the east side of the new four-way intersection of Rose
Crossing and U.S. Highway 93 already include a car dealership and a significant
office building with 100+ employees, Additional commercial and residential land
uses permitted with B-2 and RA-2 zoning on the west side of the new Rose
Crossing and U.S. Highway 93 intersection are therefore consistent with land
uses in the vicinity. Additional commercial and residential land uses on the west
side of U.S. Highway 93 will also improve efficiency by allowing additional
utilization of the new intersection. The City of Kalispell is already providing city
services to multiple annexed properties in the vicinity of the subject property and
to the north of the subject property and delivering services to the subject property
would increase efficiency of public service delivery.
Lastly, the subject property is surrounded by the Stillwater River, an existing golf course
and U.S. Highway 93 in a rapidly changing area of Flathead County that may soon be
considered well within the City of Kalispell. The requested blend of residential and
commercial land uses allows a community to develop within this area that optimally
takes advantage of scenic views, open spaces, natural buffering and excellent highway
visibility and access.

The SDC for wet industrial shall be determined on an individual basis utilizing the formula listed below:
SDC = ((GPD x SFRc)/246 )+((GPD x SFRt x [(F1+F2+F3+F4)-3] )/246)
GPD = Anticipated sewer discharge in gallons per day
SFRt = Current single family SDC cost for treatment
SFRc = Current single family cost for collection
F1,F2,F3,F4 = Extra strength factors, whole number multipliers derived for each of the following components
F1, each 215 ppm of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
F2, each 260 ppm of suspended solids (SS)
F3, each 25 ppm of total nitrogen (TN)
F4, each 4.5 ppm totoal Phosphorous (P)
