Ordinance 1803 — 2nd Reading for B-3 Core Area Rezone Phase 5
December 18, 2017
BACKGROUND: This is the second reading of Ordinance 1803, an ordinance to rezone a portion of
the Core Area from B-2 (General Business) and I-1 (Light Industrial) to B-3 (Core Area Business).
The B-3 Zoning District was created specifically for properties within the Core Area Plan Boundary
and the subject properties are located within the heart of that area. Rezoning of the subject properties
from B-2 and I-1 to B-3 reflects the goals and policies of the Core Area Plan.
The Kalispell City Council, at their meeting on December 4, 2017, approved the first reading of
Ordinance 1803, unanimously upon roll call vote.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Kalispell City Council approve the second
reading of Ordinance 1803, an ordinance to amend Section 27.02.010, official zoning map of the City
of Kalispell Zoning Ordinance 1677, by rezoning certain real properties within the Core Area from
B-2 and I-1 to B-3, excluding Lot 1 of Block 2 of COS 20375, located within Section 7 and Section
18, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, more particularly described in
the attached Exhibit "A".
FISCAL EFFECTS: There are no anticipated fiscal impacts at this time.
