2. Zoning Text Amendment - Planned Unit Development AgreementsREPORT TO. Kalispell Mayor and City Council FROM: Torn Jentz, Director James H. Patrick, City Manager RE* Kalispell Zoning ordinance Text Amendment - Revisions to Chapter 27.21 Planned Unit Development Districts (PUD). MEETING ]SATE: Council work Session - July 7, 2008 BACKGROUND: A second public hearing was Meld before the planning beard on Tuesday May 13, 2008 on the proposed amendments to the PUD regulations. one letter of support for the amendments was received and Mayre Flowers, spewing on behalf of Citizens for a Better Flathead provided a considerable amount of testimony asking for modifications to the changes. After significant deliberation, the planning board tabled the amendments until the June 10 planning board meeting. By way of background, in 2007 the planning board held 3 workshops, forwarded a draft set of PUD regulations to all surveyors, engineers and planners and then held a public hearing on October 9, 2007. The planning board forwarded a recommendation to the council to approve a series of amendments to the PUD section of the zoning ordinance. At a council work session in November, and subsequent city council action, the PUD revisions were sent back to staff for consideration of a series of issues raised by the public. The significant changes to the PUD ordinance leading up to the May 13 planning board hearing were as follows: 1. Eliminating the requirement that a PUD be limited to a single owner or that it be under single ownership. 2. Developing 2 levels or choices of application method; a full PUD application as used now and a PUD Placeholder application where an applicant would bind themselves to using the PUD process but not provide any application materials at this time. 3. Requiring a pre -application meeting prior to submission of an application and a work shop open to the public prior to the planning board hearing. 4. Revising the application materials that should accompany the application to better reflect the needs of the city. 5. Revising the abandonment process to practically create a way to sunset PUD projects that have been abandoned. 6. Reducing the density bonus in some residential districts to bring them closer into alignment with the underlying residential zone density. 7. As an alternate, providing density bonuses for increased parkland and open space and for the provision of affordable housing. As a result of testimony at the May 13, 2008 planning board hearing, a series of modifications were made to the draft and presented to the planning board at its June 10 session. Those changes arc as follows, -- Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (3A) we have added storm water features as a required element to be shown on the proposed PUD plan. Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (3e) we have added pedestrian traffic routes and trails including safe routes to school club houses and sales offices as additional criteria to be shown in the PUD submittal. Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (1) we have added a requirement that the first phase of development must comply with all aspects of these PUD regulations. • Page 7 under Section 27.21.020 (7b) we deleted a reference to a certification that needed to be placed on the face of the final PUD documents and instead added a subsection (c) which requires the applicant to enter into a PUD agreement between the city and the developer(s), his heirs or assigns. Note that this is the practice that has currently been used and is recommended by the city attorney. • Page 8 we amended Section 27.21.020 (10(a2)) to require that a developer must contact the city and ask for an extension, within 30 days notice by the city, that their project has fallen out of compliance. On page 9 under Section 27.21.030 (1a) we removed "the land within a stream bank setback" from. the "undevelopable" category for the purpose of determining the ultimate density on the site. • On page 11, under Section 21.21.030 (4(c2)) we added the term "which will insure long term affordability" to the list of agencies to ensure that affordable housing would stay affordable for the long term. M on page 12 subsection 3, the following section was modified to ensure that commercial activity within a residential nixed -use PUD would be predominately neighborhood oriented in scale. `The predominant land use character of the PUD must be residential; commercial uses should rim!aI. . be sized and located to address the needs of the immediate neighborhood" The planning board, by unanimous vote did vote to recommend to the city council the revised amendments to the PUD as shown in Attachment A be approved. R.ECDhMMNDATION: Tale the revisions under advisement and forward any questions or concerns you may have to the staff at the work session. Staff is recommending that the council take formal action on this item at the July 21 council meeting. 2 FISCAL EFFECTS.- Minor positive impacts as it will serve to improve the quality and predictability of PUD development projects in the City of Kalispell.

A public hearing was held �g board on October 9, 20D7. The planning ,g board forwarded a before the pl JL". recommendation to approve a series of amendments to the PUD section of the zoning or(.'inance. At a council workshop in November, and subsequent city council action, thtt= PUD revisions were sent back to staff for consideration of a series of issues raised b ;the public. Those issues have been addressed and revisions have been proposed. A -ew public hearing before the plg board is now scheduled for May 13, 2003 be d nn r, g at 7:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The Planning Board Will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action.. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City of Kalispell is proposing to amend the Planned Unit Development section of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of updating standards and provisions of this section, providing several different streamlined application processes based on the scale and phasing of projects, improving the abandon rent procedures, strengthening the application submittal requirements and generally striving to achieve a more user friendly document on the part of the staff and the public. A. 'Petitioner: Janes H. Patrick, City Manager City of Kalispell . P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406) 758--7703 B. Area Effected by the Proposed Changes: Any area within. the Kalispell zoning jurisdiction could be affected by these proposed. standards_ C. Proposed Am,eo.drnents*. Attached Exhibit A includes the modified PUD draft ordinance. Note that this version contains strike outs (deleted language) and underlines (added language) based on changes made since the previous public hearing and council review in November, 2007. The essence of the proposed text amendments made since the last public hearing are as follows: 1. Eliminating therequirement that a PUD be limited to a single owner or that it be under single ownership and requiring all owners of the PUD to sign the application or give a letter of support. 2. In November staff had proposed a full application PUD as has always been provided in the PUD regulations as well as 2 other alternatives. Page 1 of 5 The first was a placeholder PUD application which would bind an owner to using the PUD process and label the property as a PUD but the owner would not provide any application materials at this time nor could he develop his property in any manner until. a full. PUD application. was submitted and approved. This provision has been maintained in this draft. • The second provision was called a concept PUD application which would allow an individual to submit a PUD with a conceptual road alignment, densities, uses and park lands plan. This would allow master plan n I D g of larger tracts of land without the problem of giving site specific designs for every aspect of a development gears in advance of when they will be built. The applicant would have to provide a full PUD application for each phase as the phases were developed. This concept was deleted at the direction of the council. 3. Adding a plannin g board and council review criteria for assuring that there is internal integrity of design in the PUD. This would include assuring that there are good design features within the development including streets and street design that fit with the proposed land uses, that there are transitions and buffers between different densities and intensities of uses, that pedestrian access has been accounted for, that signage, fencing and lighting is well thought out, etc. 4. Defining what developable area is within. a PUD and not allowing densities to be based on undevelopable lands such as flood plains, wetlands, grater bodies, BPA poorer easements, etc. 5. Generally reducing the allowable residential density allowed outright for each zone and then adding density incentives for affordable housing and additional open space and developed parklands_ 6. Allowing PUDis to occur in P-1 (public) zones. D, staff Discussion: The current PUD regulations were drafted in 1393 during a time when. PUD's were not being submitted to the city with any degree of regularity. Today, 15 years later, it is the development method of choice. Unfortunately the regulations have not been updated to reflect current development trends nor has there been any recent attempts to improve its usability. Both staff and the public have agreed on the need to bring the regulations up to date, and in line with current development and review procedures. Staff has held two work sessions with the planning board prior to the plane-tng board public hearing. In addition, the document has been. on. the city web site for two months during this process and a draft has been forwarded to the local engineering and surveying offices for comment. Page 2 of 5 EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76-2-205, M.C.A. Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2-203, M.C.A. I. Does the re uested zone coMp.1y with the gEowth polio ?_ The growth policy generally anticipates use of development standards that will conserve and protect the quality of life of the citizens of its connnunity. Recommendation 13 (� states "Increase the use of the Planned Unit Development zoning overlay process for mix --use development and other large or complex land projects." The PUD standards being proposed are specifically crafted to further this goal and recommendation thus the proposed amendment will generally promote the goals and objectives of the growth policy plan. 2. Is the requested zone desi ed to lessen con estion in the streets? The proposed PUD amendments will improve the efficiency with which PUD's are administered and reviewed. PUD projects by their very nature are designed to allow the local governments to mitigate the impacts of the particular development proposed. Traffic flow, traffic generation., road c g capacity and intersection design are all key components of the PUD review process and are being enhanced by the amendments proposed. 3. will the reguested zone secure safelyfrom fire anic and other dan ers? The proposed amendments would allow the PUD application, review and administration processes to flow much better for the city and for the development community. The very nature of the PUD process ensures that there would be no compromise with regard to public safety_ 4. will the reguested change romote the health and general welfare? The general health and welfare of the public will be promoted by creating a more usable PUD process which will ensure that more complex projects have a better opportunity to receive more thorough staff, p h% n 4 g board and council review and at the same time offering the development community more options with which to proceed. S. will the requested zone provide for ade uate light and air? The PUD process allows for a much more specific and deliberate review process and creates situations where 'individual issues can be identified that might limit the provision of adequate light or air, shading, etc. The PUD also allows a mechanism to mitigate negative issues when identified. Page 3 of 5 6. WE1 the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land or undue concentration of people?. The proposed changes include a recommendation to slightly reduce the potential density allowed in various residential zones thus further preventing the overcrowding of land and Irnziting the undue concentration of people. In addition., the min i m um amount of developed parkland and open space is being defined to further limit the potential for overcrowding of sites. 7. WM the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, crater sewerage, schools Parks, and other Public requirements? The amendments would assist in making the PUD process more desirable for the development community. The PUD process as mentioned above creates a greater opportunity for local government to identify areas of concern including the inadequate provision of water, sewer, schools, parks or other public improvements and at the same time creates the vehicle to require mitigation of the negative impacts. 8. Does the requested zone gJye consideration to the 12articular suitability of the -Pro-Perty for particular uses? The PUD standards by their very nature work to create and ensure compatibility and suitability with the site by allowing a project to be designed with the potentials and limitations of the site in immediate perspective. 9. Does the reguested zone `ve reasonable consideration to the character of the d i .Rt ri rt? The PUD amendments proposed and the PUD regulations themselves create a review process whereby the development is crafted and portrayed in detail before approvals are granted or construction proceeds. The process ensures that the character of the district and the neighborhood be protected either through good design and mitigation of negative impacts or the project would not be approved. 10. Will the -proosed zone conserve the value of buildings? The PUD amendments en.dments will alloy the PUD process to proceed much smoother. The purpose of the PUD process is to create a forum whereby impacts to existing development is protected whether through good design or project gation. to ensure that the surrounding neighborhood remains vital. The building values will be conserved by promoting and encouraging reasonable standards within these districts. These amendments will conserve the value of buildings. Page 4 of 5 11. Will the reguested zone encourage the most appropriate use of the land throw bout the jurisdiction? The most appropriate land uses throughout the jurisdiction are promoted by encouraging reasonable design standards that promote the general well-being of all citizens of the community. 'These changes will encourage a greater use of the PUD process which wili allow a forum, for the pland design of more appropriate land uses throughout the plar�r� ". g jurisdiction. 1JCDNI MNDATIDN Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Pl g Board adopt the findings m staff report KZTA.-07-4A. and recommend to the Kalispell City council that the proposed amendments to the Planned Unit Development standards be adopted as shown on attached Exhibit A.

THE F`tTMRE MEMORANDUM MONTANA To: Kalispell City Planning Board From: Tom Jentz, Director Date: June 3, 2008 Planning Department 241 1" Avenue Fast Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 758-7940 Fax: (406) 758-7739 www.kalispeU.com/plann*mg Subject: PUD Amendments -- old Business - Adoption A second public hearing was held before the planning board on. Tuesday May 13, 2008 on the proposed amendments to the PUD regulations. One letter of support for the amendments was received and Marye Flowers, speaking on behalf of citizens for a better Flathead provided a considerable amount of testimony asking for modifications to the changes. After significant deliberation, the planning board tabled the amendments until the June 10 planning board meeting. By way of background, a public hearing was held before the planning board on October 9, 2007. The planning board forwarded a recommendation to the council to approve a series of amendments to the PUD section of the zoning ordinance. At a council work session in November, and subsequent city council action., the PUD revisions were sent back to staff for consideration of a series of issues raised by the public. Those issues were addressed and revisions had been proposed for the May public hearing. As a result of the May public hearing and discussion from the planning board several more changes have been incorporated. They are as follows: • Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (3A) we have added storm water features as a required element to be shown on the proposed PUD plan. • Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (3e) we have added pedestrian traffic routes and trails including safe routes to school club houses and sales offices as additional criteria to be shown in the PUD submittal. Page 3 under Section 27.21.020 (1) we have added a requirement that the first phase of development must comply with all aspects of these PUD regulations. • Page 7 under Section 27.21.020 (7b) we deleted a reference to a certification that needed to be placed on the face of the final PUD documents and instead added a subsection (c) which requires the applicant to enter into a PUD agreement between the city and the developer(s), his heirs or assigns. Note that this is the practice that has currently been used and is recommended by the city attorney. • Page 8 we amended Section 27.21.020 (10(a2)) to require that a developer must contact the city and ask for an extension within 30 days notice by the city that their project has fallen out of compliance. On page 9 under Section. 27.21.030 (1a) we removed "the land within a stream bank setback" from the "undevelopable" category for the purpose of determining the ultimate density on the site. On. page 11, under Section 21.21.030 (4(c2)) we added the term "which will insure long term affordabili to the list of agencies to ensure that affordable housing would stay affordable for the long term. On. page 12 subsection 3, the following section was modified to ensure that conunercial activity within a residential mixed -use PUD would be predominately neighborhood oriented in scale. "The predominant land use character of the PUD must be residential; commercial uses should pnmarily be sized and located to address the needs of the immediate neighborhood" Staff recommends that the planning board review the proposed amendments made by staff to the draft PUD ordinance. Once the planning board is satisfied with theses and any other amendments proposed, staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt the findings in staff report KZTA-07-4A and recommend to the Kalispell city council that the proposed amendments to the Planned Unit Development standards be adopted as shown on the attached "Draft prepared for the June 10 Planning Board meeting". SANDS SURVEYING, INC. 2 Village Loop Road Kalispell, MT 59901 406-755-6481 Fax 406- 755-6488 April 11, 2008 Kalispell City Planning Board 201 First Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 RE: PUD Section Text Amendments Dear Planning Board Members: D ECE�VF= MAYO 9 2008 KALiSPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT I would like to go on record as supporting the proposed PUD Text amendments. 'f h.ere are some new concepts being proposed and some of the changes reflect current policy decisions of the City. The proposed addition of a Placeholder PLJD Application provides a win -win for the developer and the City. By allowing for a Placeholder, the developer has some level of confidence that they will be able to work with the City to achieve flexibility in zoning and produce a creative project. The City has the ability through the Placeholder to condition any initial zoning or zone change to the PUD requirements and all of the associated information needed to provide a full application in the future. The incentives of providing additional density for expanding the required open space and/or providing and affordable housing component are also good and tested methods of implet n.enting the goals of the City. The City of whitefish has had a PUD incentive for affordable housing on the books for about five years. This incentive has been popular with a number of developers and there are a number of preliminary plats in place that carry affordable housing commitments either through actual units or cash -in -lieu payments to the Housing Authority. My one concern with the proposed text amendment is the exclusion of allowing floodplain areas along creeps or rivers to count as open space. In the past, when developers could count the setting aside floodplain areas for open space, they viewed this as an incentive to provide public use of these areas. If their is not an incentive to provide public use, i.e. trails, then the developers will just maintain the floodplain as private open space. As a resident of the City of Kalispell, my family enjoys walking or riding our bikes along the existing water front parks such as Lawrence Parr, Dry Bridge Park, and Woodland Park. why would the City not want to expand this great water front park system? Not all parks have to be flat open fields of manicured grass. Natural parks with public trails are just as important to this community that enj oys the environment in which we live. One last item. I would like to address is the view that there is a general lack of support for these PUD changes. As with most projects the City works on, it is usually the people with the ax to grind that show up for the public meetings. Just because people and particularly the development community are quiet on a particular issue does not mean that there not support for this issue. The development community engages the Planning Board and City Council on a regular basis with their projects so getting there to turn out for an evening to support a text proposal is usually a tough sell. We at Sands Surveying appreciate all the time you, the Planning Board, the staff and the Council members put into these items. Thank you for your consideration. Professionally; Eric H. ulcahy, AICP Sands Surveying, Inc. MEMORANDUM TO: KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD FROM: CITIZENS FOR A BETTER FLATHEAD SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DATE: 4/8/08 C C. ote: This memo is similar to the comments CBF submitted on l 0/ l 7/07; however, since staff made significant changes to the new proposed PUD standards, out comments have been changed to reflect our new concerns, existing concerns, and concerns that have been addressed. CBF has three main areas of concern with the proposed new I nEspell PUD regulations. These include the new regulations failure to address: ■ Public Benefit: Ensure that the density bonuses provided to the developer under a PUD are justified by providing significant public benefits such as additional open space, access to trails and crater bodies, parldand far and above the standard requirement, or perinanen.t/long terra affordable housing. * Public Notice: Clarify- and provide for a meaningful public notice and process in all types of proposed PUD's including new waver processes that are proposed. •Justification for Significant Chan es: Provide justification for rernoving numerous current provisions of the PUD regulations that protect the public and city from unintended consequences of more vague standards. Public Benefit: All city residents are stock holders in the City of Kalispell much like in a corporation in the sense that dacy invest and pick up the cost over -runs of city government. Density represents a significant public asset that should not be simply "given away" without a seasonable public benefit or a return on the "stock" investment of city residents. This principle is upheld in the critetia developed for admin.istevng fair PUD regulation s in rnany progressive cotni-nunities across the west. we provided you an example from Pith County, Colorado, as one example of a PUD regulation that includes clear and cotnprehensive criteria for PUD applications and da.eir review. We offered (and still do) to provide you additional examples, but the planning director discouraged us from doing so. we feel that the changes to the PUD regulations strip the regulations of any real public benefit and make increased density an unjustified give-away. Public Notice: The new PUD regulations and particularly the waiver process should include a public cotmn.en.t process and a public appeal process. A section in. the PUD regulation should include a clarification of how the public process will be handled as the new regulations significantly reduce public access to information. that is vital. to public input in a zone change. Justification for Significant Chan es: There was simply little to no justification provided for the following changes: The new standards Oow for a `Placeholder PUD Application.' which does not require developers to submit all relevant information with the application for a placeholder PUD. As i.n our current regulations, all pertinent information should be obtained with the placeholder application to allow for adequate public oversight. The draft regulations state that "the PUD nay show conceptual street designs, proposed park and open space areas, trail concepts, proposed residential density and housing types (single family, townhouse, apartment, etc.), commercial areas, etc. versus detailed lot, block, street and park development and building designs." The submission of detailed information is crucial for the public to adequately evaluate the proposal, and is requited in the current PUD regulations. • The new standards allover a project to fall out of compliancc with its approved cornpl.etion schedule one or more times before it's considered abandoned and is converted back to its previous zoning. The current plan states that the city inay o -i:ant one extension before a PUD is considered abandoned. • The new standards deleted Section. (5) .effect off.pproval of the current regulations which states that no building permit shall be issued for any structure within the district unless such structure conforms to the provisions of the plan. This policy ensures that standards set forth in the PUD are complied with. ■ Standards for PUD, (1) Location of PUD was deleted from die new standards. This policy states that a PUD shall be located in an area where public and private facilities and services are available or are to become available by the time the development reaches the stage where they will be requited. • The new standards removed the requirement that a PUD shall be under single ownership, in the (2) Land Area Requirement section. This is problematic because if the PUD standards are not met it is much more difficult to address the situation with a number of different owners as opposed to just one. In addition., it also took out the test of the paragraph which outlines how to detern-iin.e whether the um area requirements for IUD have been rnet. • Under (4) Use Regulations, section (2), of die current standards, the policy that limits what corninercial establishments are allowed in a residential. PUD dist�.ct was deleted. This policy stated that "such establishments shall be .)limited to trade and service facilities such as small retail stores, coin --operated laundry and dry cleaning establislunents, beauty shops and barber shops. However, service stations and repair garages shall not be pen-n- tted." This leaves the requi-tecnent that "such establishments shall be so located, designed and operated as to serve primarily the needs of persons wiffiin the district" 2 wide open to different interpretations. This policy should be carried forward in the new draft. M Under Section(4) Use Regmlations, section (4), of the current standards, this policy states that rcno building pen -nit for any convenience commercial establisent shall. be issued nor may any building be used for convenience commercial establishment before 60% of the dwelling wits contemplated have been built and ready for occupancy" was deleted. This policy ensures that the residential portion of the PUD will be built and ensure that the predominant land use character of the district will be residential.. s Under Section (4) Use Regulations, policy (6) of the current standards, the following policy was deleted "The maximum permissible ground coverage including all roads, buildings, and other areas of impervious coverage must be less than 70%." This policy is crucial because limiting the amount of land covered by impervious surface limits the ain.ount of storn water runoff that eventually enters our strearns, rivers, lakes, and groundwater supply. Under Section (4) Use Regulations, policy (8) of the current standards, the following policy was deleted "Vehicular access to all uses and/or activities of the Mixed Use PUD shall. be Emited to the internal road system of the Nfixed Use PUD. Frontage of uses on a perimeter road/highway system shall be prohibited." The free flow of traffic along Hwy 93 has been expressed as a goal in the K. a.lispell Growth Policy, and thus this policy should be cared forward in the new PUD regulations. * The requitement that the rnaxw* - um. petrmssible building height be Imited to 33 feet was deleted. This policy is important to protect our view sheds and ensure buildings respect the character and quality of existing cormnunities. In conclusion, we reconurnend that the planning board take additional time to look at other PUD .models from other areas and strengthen the proposed PUD regulations with criteria that provides a clear public benefit and standards for the quality of devcloprnent that the city wishes to encourage. Furthermore, we would recommend that the PUD Placeh.older Application option be withdrawn as it fails to provide the public access to infori.-nation es s endicd to meaningful public comment. MEMORANDUM TO: KALISPELL CITY PLANNING- BOARD FROM: CITIZENS FOR A BETTER FLATPIF AD SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DATE: 1 D/ 17/ 07 CC: Dote: This memo summarizes oral testimony given at the public hearing on this i natter on October 9t', 2007 CBF has three main areas of concern with the proposed new Kalispell PUD regulations. These include the new regulations failure to address: • Public Benefit: Ensure that the density bonuses provided to the developer under a PUD are justified by providing significant public benefits such as additional open space, access to trails and water bodies, parkland far and above the standard requirement, or perrnanent/long--term. affordable housing. ■ Public Notice: ClarHy and provide for a meaningful public notice and process in all types of proposed PUD's including new wavier processes that are proposed. ■justification for Sig1lificant Chan es: Provide justification for removing numerous current provisions of the PUD regulations that protect the public and city from unintended consequences of more vague standards. Public Benefit: All city residents are stock holders in the City of ICalispell. much like in a corporation in the sense that they invest and pick up the cost over -runs of city government. Density represents a significant public asset that should not be simply "given away" without a reasonable public benefit or a return on the "stock" investment of city residents. This principle is upheld in the criteria developed for administering fair PUD regulations in many progressive communities across the west. we provided you an example from Pitkin County, Colorado as one example of a PUD regulation that includes clear and comprehensive criteria for PUD applications and their review. we offered (and still do) to provide you additional examples, but the planning director discouraged us from doing so. we feel that the changes to the PUD regulations strip the reguladons of any real public benefit and make increased density an unjustified give --away. Public: Notice: The new PUD regulations and particularly the waiver process should include a public comment process and a public appeal process. A section In the PUD regulation. should include a clarification of how the public process will be handled as the new regulations significantly reduce public access to information that is vital to public input in a zone change. Justification for Sigdficant Chan es: There was simply little to no justification. provided for the following changes. i The new standards do notrequire the application, preliminary plan., or timeline showing the building phases, as is required by the current PUD standards. • The new standards allow for a `Concept PUD Application' which does not require developers to submit all relevant information, with the application for a PUD. The chapter does not say when this information will be obtained. As in our current regulations, all. pertinent information should be obtained with the application to allow for adequate public oversight. ■ It would allow the following information to be submitted at a later, unknown date, and consequently would not allow for adequate public oversight: ■ Submission of architectural renderings, building designs, parking lot layouts or landscaping plans ■ Park and open space plans, plans for recreational facilities or common./honaeown.ers facilities ■ Multi -phase projects in which one or more early phases meet the fill. PUD application criteria ■ where a subdivision is required to implement a portion or all of a PUD and the subdivision application does not accompany the PUD application. • The new standards allow a project to fall out of compliance with its approved completion schedule one or more ti�nes before it's considered abandoned and is converted back to its previous zoning. The current plan states that the city may ant one extension before a PUD is considered abandoned. Furthermore, the section outlining what constitutes abandonment was also removed, leaving it open to different interpretations. • The new standards deleted the (5) feet of ,proval which states that no building per=t shall be issued for any structure within the district unless such structure conforms to the provisions of the plan. This policy ensures that standards set forth in the PUD are complied with. • Standards for PUD, (1) ..location of .I UD was deleted from the new standards. This policy stated that a PUD shall be located in an area where public and private facilities and services are available or are to become available by the tine the development reaches the stage where they will be required. • The new standards removed the requirement that a PUD shall be under single ownership, in the (2) Land ..area Regyirement section. This is problematic because if the PUD standards are not met it is much more difficult to address the situation with a number of different owners as opposed to just one. In addition, it also took out the rest of the paragraph which outlines how to detelT] ne whether the -ninimum area tequirements for PUD have been met. 2 Under_ (2) Establishment of .PUD Districts, .section (2), of the current standards, the policy that lvsits what commercial establishments are allowed in a residential PUD district was deleted. This leaves the requirement that "such establishments shall be so located, designed and operated as to serve P 'may the needs of persons within the district" wide open to different interpretations. Under (2) Establishment of PUD Distracts, section (4), of the current standards, the policy that states "no building permit for any convenience con=ercial establishment shal1 be issued no may any building be used for convenience commercial establishment before 60% of the dwelling units contemplated have been built and ready for occupancy" was deleted. This policy ensures Lhat the residential portion of the PUD will be built and ensure that the Predominant land use character of the dlstdct will be residential. The requirement that the rnaxirnurn permissible building height: be meted to 35 feet was deleted. This policy is important to protect our view sheds and ensure buildings respect the character and quality of existing communities. In conclusion we recommend that the planning board take additional time to look at other PUD models from other areas and strengthen the proposed PUD regulations with criteria that provides a clear public benefit and standards for the quality of development that the city wishes to encourage. Furthermore we would recommend that the conceptual. PUD option be withdrawn as it fails to provide the public access to information essential to meaningful public comment. CHAPTER 3; ZONING DISTRICTS 3-70: Special Purpose Districts 3-70-20 T (Tourist) All proposed development, and all major amendments to previous development approvals, shall be subject to the preparation and approval of a Public -Institutional Master Plan pursuant to Sec. 2-40-100. The Public -Institutional Master Plan shall cover the entirety of the property, and shall address all permitted activities/uses on the property. Only those uses, activities, and facilities shown on the approved Public -institutional Master Plan shall be permitted. Minor amendments to previous development approvals may be approved by staff pursuant to the Public --institutional Master Plan procedure in Sec. 2-40-1 00. (c) Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) TDRs may not be severed and sold from lands located in the P:-1 zone district. TDRs may not be purchased and used in the P-1 zone district from other zone districts. (d) Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) Lands in the P--I zone district are subject to the GMQS (see Chapter 6). 3-70-20: T (TOURIST) (a) Intent The T (Tourist) district is intended to provide for the renovation of existing and construction of new tourist accommodation facilities, including traditional lodges, and to permit small retail outlets to serve persons residing on the site. The range of permitted facilities, and the scale, density, and intensity of facilities permitted in Rural Areas will be lower than those permitted within the urban growth boundaries. (b) Locational Criteria Lands appropriate for the T zone district include those existing tourist --related non-residential facilities located outside or within urban growth boundaries that existed before the 5th of July, 2006. Additional lands outside the urban growth boundaries may be rezoned to the T zone district if @ the principal structures supporting such facility will be grouped into a land area not exceeding one (1) acre in size (although the supporting lands used by patrons of the facility may be much larger), or (H) the Community Development Director determines that a larger area of principal supporting structures will not significantly impact the rural character of the surrounding area. Additional lands within the urban growth boundaries may be rezoned to the T zone district if they are adjacent to non-residential zone districts. (c) Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) TDRs may not be severed and sold from lands located in the T zone district. TDRs may not be purchased and used in the T zone district from other zone districts. (d) Growth Management Quota System (GMQS) Lands in the T zone district are subject to the GMQS (see Chapter 6). 3-70-30: PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) DESIGNATION (a) General A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a designation attached to a zone district that authorizes flexibility in the manner in which the County may apply certain standards of the underlying zone district to a proposed development. A PUD is approved through a rezoning of the property, and acts as an overlay designation that supplements, but does not replace, the terms of the underlying zone district (i.e., unless modified by the terms of the PUD, all provisions of the base zone district still apply). A PUD may only be approved if the Board of County Commissioners determines that it complies with all those standards applicable to a rezoning in Sec. 2-40-14(c), as well as those additional criteria for approval of a PUD rezoning in Sec. 2-40-50(i). In the event of a conflict between the provisions of an approved PUD and those of the base zone district, the provisions of the PUD govern. Land Use Code Pitkin County Colorado July 2p06 Page 27 CHAPTER 3; ZONING DISTRICTS 3-70: Special Purpose Districts 3-70-30 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Designation (b) Uses of PUDs Planned Unit Development designations are used in Pitkin County only to achieve exceptional benefits in three ways critical to the implementation of the Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan.- (1) Preservation of rural character and/or desirable open space in Rural Areas, and/or; (z) Protection of desirable open space in Urban Areas; and/or (3) Provision of Affordable Housing in Urban Areas. The PUD designation may not be used to obtain variations from the requirements of the underlying zone district in return for additional amenities or benefits in ways other than rural character preservation, open space protection, or affordable housing. (c) Applicability The provisions of this Sec. 3-70-30 shall apply whenever a Planned Unit Development designation is approved after the 5th of July, 2006. A PUD designation may be requested within any zone district within the Rural Area, provided that it is intended to provide greater levels of rural land preservation in those areas than would otherwise be required by this Land Use Code. A PUD designation may be requested within any zone district within the Urban Area, provided that it is intended to protect desirable open space or increase the production or availability of affordable housing. There is no minimum land area requirement for application for a PUD. (d) Mandatory PUD Designations Within the RS-160, RS-35, RS-30, and RS-20 zone districts, the approval of a PUD designation is mandatory in connection with any subdivision of the land. All such PUD designations and related subdivisions shall comply with the provisions of this section. (e) Ownership Parcel A PUD designation must apply to the entirety of an ownership parcel. For purposes of this Sec. 3-70-30, an ownership parcel is defined as all land that is contiguous, or would be contiguous except for intervening roads, owned (i) by an individual or entity, or (ii) by members of the same immediate family, or (iii) by entities with fifty (50) percent or greater common ownership, or (iv) by any combination of the above. The aggregate area of the lots or parcels shall be considered as one (1) lot or parcel regardless of diverse times of acquisition by a common owner and whether or not the property was acquired before adoption of this regulation. owners of contiguous parcels under separate ownership may jointly file an application for a PUD designation. (fib Phasing A Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall ensure: (1) Each phase is self-sufficient and not dependent upon later phases; (2) The failure to develop subsequent phases will not have any adverse impacts on the Planned Unit Development (PUD), its surroundings or the community in general; and (3) Amenities such as open space and recreational areas are provided along with proposed residential or tourist accommodation construction at each development phase. (g) Maximum Density A PUD is not entitled automatically to the maximum density allowed in the zone district in which the land is located. Density shall be established based upon: (f) Analysis of environmental factors affecting the land; (2) Availability of public transportation; (3) Compatibility with surrounding land uses; and (4) Consistency with adopted Land Use Policies and the Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan. Land Use Code Pitkin County Colorado July 2006 Page 28 CHAPTER 3: ZONING DISTRICTS 3-70: Special Purpose Districts 3-70-30: Planned Chit Development (PUD) Designation (h) variations in Standards This section establishes criteria for varying dimensional standards, off-street parking standards, and street standards within a PUD. Standards in Chapter 7 related to Constrained Areas may not be varied.

WHEREAS, the Idah❑ Local Laud Use Planning Act (Idaho Code Title 67, Chapter 65) states that the Purpose of the Act shad be to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the state of Idaho, in order to ensure, among several goals, that the economy of tb e state and localities is protected; to encourage the Protection of prime agricultural... lands for production of food, to encourage urban and urban -type Blaine County Ordinance: 2006-07 development within incorporated cities, and to ensure that adequate public facilities and services are provided to the people at a reasonable cost; VVBEREAS, the Blaine County Board of Commissioners declared a moratorium on new subdivisions in January 2005 to undertake studies and ,gain public input about future growth and development in the unincorporated county; and W MREAS, through the county's public -process of looking to the next twenty years (Blaine County 2025). Blaine County officials and representatives met with city officials, business interests, landowners, members of the public, nonprofit groups, held publicly advertised meetings in throughout the county, and conducted surveys and polls; and WBEREAS, feedback from surveys, meetings, letters and other pubic comments show an overwhelming consensus that Blaine County residents desire to protect sensitive lands (scenic, wetland, streams, wildlife habitat)and that Blaine County should take action to preserve the rural atmosphere of the county, its agricultural and remote areas; and VaMREAS, the Blaine County Comprehensive Plan states "preserving agricultural lands of Blaine Count is a major objective of this comprehensive plan" and zoning and subdivision codes have included a modest incentive to cluster homes in an agriculture subdivision and a twenty percent bonus for PUDs in the. county's non --irrigated unproductive agricultural (A. 10) areas located in remote areas of the county; and WHEREAS, the Blaine County Comprehensive Plan states that it is the goal of the Comprehensive Plan to encourage urban and urban -type development within incorporated cities or near unincorporated towns, and WBEIEAS, Blame County has hired leading land use consultants whose .expertise is in mountain resort development and rural western landscape. The consultant's research has documented other rural counties that have allowed larger cluster developments demand a higher level of county services, create more conflicts with active agriculture, and are not in beeping with the desired rural character of the county. wIHEREAS, the purpose of the following is to strengthen and update zoning and subdivision ordhlances based upon current planning expertise and practices in order to. support stated policies outlined in Blaine County's Comprehensive Plan and in the Preferred Scenario in Blaine County 2025; this will accomplished by 1) limiting the number of smaller lots in agricultural areas because of the conflicts that residential uses generate for those actively farm ing, 2) maintaining the rural atmosphere of the county while reducing future demand for urban type of services in rural, remote areas, 3) allowing for more orderly growth and effective delivery of services, and 4) protecting current tax payers by limiting urban type residential density in more remote areas where there are not essential services.

General. For any planned unit development proposal to be approved it must first be found, by the City Commission, after recommendation from the DRC, DRB or wRB (if applicable), to be in compliance with this title including any applicable criteria of this section. B. Land Use Classifications. 1. The design objectives and criteria with which a planned unit development proposal must comply are dependent upon the designated growth policy land use classification and zoning district of the site proposed for the planned unit development. 2. All planned unit developments are reviewed against the objectives and criteria designated for all development. Each individual planned unit development is then reviewed against the objectives and criteria established for the land use classifications) of the site on which the proposal is to be located. A. planned unit development must satisfy all the objectives and criteria of all applicable groups. In evaluating planned unlit developments, the City may determine that certain criteria are not applicable or are irrelevant to a particular development proposal and therefore do not apply to that proposal unless those criteria are applicable to a deviation which is being sought by the applicant. Subsection. E of this section contains the groups of objectives and criteria against which planned unit developments are reviewed. C. Evaluation Process. The acceptability and performance of a planned unit development proposal shall be evaluated as follows: Each of the relevant objectives and criteria for the applicable land use classification and for all development contained in subsection E of this section, willl, be answered "Yes", "No" or "'Not .Applicable" (NA). A "No response" to any of the applicable objectives and criteria will automatically preclude the development proposal from further consideration and eventual approval, unless a deviation is granted by the City Conu-nission...An objective or criterion is considered to be applicable if it can reasonably be applied to the development proposal. The applicant shall dearly demonstrate homer the planned unit development specifically addresses each applicable objective and criterion. D. Responsibility for Impact , Nitration. To protect the character of new and existing neighborhoods against intrusive and dismiptive development, any negative or adverse impacts shall be effectively mitigated in the planned unit development plan, as per the following guidelines: 1. when two adjacent parcels are developed sit nultaneously, the responsibility for mitigating conflicts is upon the more intense use. 2. when a use is the first to develop on two adjacent vacant parcels, the first use, shall provide the necessary buffer to any reasonable future use as detern- fined by the City. 3. The second use to develop shall, at the time it develops, tale all additional steps necessary to mitigate conflicts. 4. However, when a planned unit development includes a use or uses which are not otherwise permitted in the underlying zoning disttict, the responsibility for impact mitigation shall lie exclusively with the planned unit development proposal. E. Desim Ob'ectives and PUD Review Criteria. 1. The City will determine compatibility of a project based upon the evidence presented during evaluation of the community design objectives and criteria of this title. 2. In addition to the criteria for all site plan and conditional use reviews, the following criteria will be used in evaluating all planned unit development applications. Ordinance # 1693: Effective March 24, 2007, page 36--10 a. All Development. All land uses within a proposed planned unit development shall be reviewed against, and comply with, the applicable objectives and criteria of the mandatory "All Development" group. (1) Does the development comply with all City design standards, requirements and specifications for the following services: water supply, trails/walks/bike gays, sanitary supply, irrigation companies, fire protection, electricity, Mood hazard areas, natural gas, telephone, storm drainage, cable television, and streets?

(8) Is the development being properly integrated into development and circulation patterns of adjacent and nearby neighborhoods so that this development will not become an isolated "pad" to adjoining development? b. Residential. Planned unit developments in residential areas (R-S, R-1, R-2, R--3, R-43 RMH and R-o zoning districts) may include a variety of housing types designed to enhance the natural environmental, conserve energy, recognize, and to the na.xi mum extent possible, preserve and promote the unique character of neighborhoods, with provisions for a mix of limited commercial development. Ordinance # 1693: Effective March 24, 2007. page 36-12 For purposes of this s ect'oil, "h-Ii.ted c:w=erchd development" mc;an5 -uses listed in the B-1 neighborhood service district (Chapter 18.1 S, BMC), -within the parameters set forth below. All uses within the PUD trust be sited and designed such that the activities present will not detrimentally affect the adjacent residential neighborhood.

(6) Residential DensityBonus., If the protect is proposing a residential density bonus (30 percent maximum) above the residential density of the zoning district within which the project is located and which is set forth in Chapter 18.1 G, BMC, does the proposed project exceed the established regulatory design standards such as for setbacks, off-street parking, open space, etc.) and ensure compatibility with adjacent neighborhood development? The number of dwelling units obtained by the density bonus shall be determined by dividing the lot area required for the dwelling unit type by one plus the percentage of density bonus sought. The minimum lot area per dwelling obtained by this calculation shall be provided within the project. (7) Limited Commercial. If limited commercial development, as defined above, is proposed within the project, is less than 20 percent of the gross area of the PUD designated to be used for offices or neighborhood service activities not ordinarily allowed in the particular residential zoning district? (a) If neighborhood service activities are proposed within the project, is a market analysis provided demonstrating that less than 50 percent of the market required to support proposed neighborhood service activities is located outside the in-unediate area of the PUD and are the neighborhood services of a nature that does not require drive-in facilities or justification for through traffic?

It is the intent and purpose of this section to establish the planned unit AL - development (PUD) review procedures as a method to guide future growth and development within the area of the Forth 19th Avenue/Nest oak Street Corridor Master Plan. It is further intended to ensure that future growth and development will occur in accord with the goals and objectives of the Forth 19th .Avenue/West oak Street Corridor Master Plan and it successors as a subarea plan to the Bozeman Growth policy. B. Application. Planned unlit development provisions shall apply to all nonresidential development proposals located in the Forth 19th Avenue and West oak Street Entryway Corridor areas as designated on the land use plan of the North 19th Avenue/West Oak Street Corridor Master Plan and on the City of Bozeman's official Zoning Map as follows: 1. forth 19th Avenue. (Class I and Class II corridor) All nonresidential development within the Forth 19th Avenue Entryway Corridor, between Durston Road and the Forth 19th Avenue -Interstate 90 Interchange, measured 660 feet from the centerline of North 19th Avenue, exclusive of the following; a.

Ordinance ## 1693: Effective March 24, 2007. page 36 -15 MEMORANDUM TO: KALISPELT CITY PLANNING BOARD FROM: CITIZENS FOR A BETTER FIATHEA,D SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DATE: 5/28/08 CC: Note: This memo summarizes oral testimony given at the public hearing on this matter on May 13, 2008. CBF in addition to specific comments regarding the proposed new PUD regulations CBF raised the following overall concerns: ■ we believe that the revisions of the PUD regulations are a -major policy decision of importance to the residents of Kalispell as this is the zoning being used by most medium to large scale developments com-ing *into the city or as your Planning Director reported some 60% of developments in the city. PUD's traditionally provide a developer greater density and some flexibility in compliance with other regulations, but in return are also intended to provide the community at large greater public benefits in open space and parks, neighborhood --friendly design features and often affordable housing. CBF believes that it is essential that these revised PUD regulations provide for significant public benefits. This planning tool should be a win -win for the developer and the community. 0 At the October 9, 2007 public hearing on the proposed PUD regulations and again at the April 3, 2008 planning board work session, CBF presented detailed written public comment including sample PUD regulations frotn. other counties in the west for review by the board in their consideration of updating the City's current regulations. At the October 9, 2007 workshop due to the late hour of the hearing---10:30 pm-- little discussion or review of the information submitted occurred and at the April 3rd workshop little to no discussion of the PUD changes proposed were discussed due to a low board turnout and the meeting adjourned early. On both occasions we recommended that the board take time to review this information and particularly information from other communities and adapt ideas that fit for our area. We were disappointed to learn at the May 13, 2008 public hearing the comments we had submitted on April YJ were not part of the board packet and that no planning board members had copies for the discussion and consideration that evening. 0 We urged the board to take time to go line by line though the sample policies we had provided and consider the application of these in Kalispell where appropriate. we offered to provide more detailed comment on the sections we thought should be considered for inclusion in the new Kalispell Policy. (We have provided a summary of these with this packet) ■ We appreciate that the board referred consideration of these prior comments and our additional comments at the May 13'hhearing. We also appreciate the request for this written summary of our oral comments at the May 13thhean*ng. Is At the May 13th meeting we commented first on Staff Report KTZA--07--4.A and then on the revised draft text. A summary of our oral comments are embedded in bold italic wn these documents attached below. CITY OF KALISPELL -- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPM ENT STANDARDS KALISPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT #KZTA-07.4A MAY 13, 2008 This is a report to the Kalispell City Planning Board and the Kalispell City Council regarding a request for a text amendment to the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance to revise the Planned Unit Development section of the ordinance. A public hearing was held before the planning board on October 9, 2007. The planning board forwarded a recommendation to approve a series of amendments to the PUD section of the zoning ordinance. At a council workshop in November, and subsequent city council action, the PUD revisions were sent back to staff for consideration of a series of issues raised by the public. Those issues have been addressed and revisions have been proposed. A new public hearing before the planning board is now scheduled for May 13, 2008 beginning at 7: 00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers. The Planning Board will forward a recommendation to the Kalispell City Council for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City of Kalispell is proposing to amend the Planned Unit Development section of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of updating standards and provisions of this section, providing several different streamlined application processes based on the scale and phasing of projects, improving the abandonment procedures, strengtheln* ng the application submittal requirements and generally striving to achieve a more user friendly document on the part of the staff and the public. A. Petitioner: Jaynes H. Patrick, City Manager City of Kalispell ON P.O. Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406) 758-7703 B. Area Effected by the Proposed Changes: Any area within the Kalispell zoning jurisdiction could be affected by these proposed standards. C. Proposed Amen ents: Attached Exhibit A includes the modified PUD draft ordinance. Note that this version contains strike outs (deleted language) and underlines (added language) based on changes made since the previous public hearing and council review in November, 2007. The essence of the proposed text amendments made since the last public hearing are as follows: 1. Eliminating the requirement that a PUD be limited to a single owner or that it be under single ownership and requiring all owners of the PUD to sign the application or give a letter of support. This issue should be reviewed by the county attorney to insure that wording is retained that inures that all property owners current and future are bound by the terms of this PUD and the procedures for amending it. The City has copies of testimony that we presented at the hearings on the Glacier Town Center PUD where the City Attorney from Armes, Iowa raised concerns over that city's ability to enforce agreements with Wolford and future owners of the development if dear legal wording was not added to the agreements to address this. We ask that the Kalispell City Attorney address this issue and .provide wording that will under these new regulations ---,perhaps as ac condition appearing on the plat ---that binds each owner --current and f uture---to the terms of the PUD. Additionally we ask that the provision in the current PUD regulations be carried, forward that calls for the city attorney to review PUD agreements that propose development over a period o, f years to assure the sufficiency of the terms o, f the agreement. This regulation is at .27.21. 020 page 59. 2. In November staff had proposed a full application PUD as has always been provided in the PUD regulations as well as 2 other alternatives. ■ The first was a placeholder PUD application which would bind an owner to using the PUD process and Label the property as a PUD but the owner would not provide any application materials at this time nor could he develop his property in any manner until a full PUD application was submitted and approved. This provision has been maintained in this draft. CBF supports this placceholder PUD provision. 3 ■ The second provision was called a concept PUD application which would allow an individual to submit a PUD with a conceptual road alignment, densities, uses and park lands plan. This would allow master planning of larger tracts of land without the problem of giving site specific designs for every aspect of a development years in advance of when they will be built. The applicant would have to provide a full PUD application for each phase as the phases were developed. This concept was deleted at the direction: of the council. CBS' strongly supports the deletion of the concept PUD, as the detail information needed for an adequate public process to resew decisions of this magnitude would not be available. We oppose the reinsertion of almost identical language, however under 3. L on ,page 4 of 12 of the Draft regulations attached to this staff report Phased projects as the city is seeing for development that will occur for sorr20 to 30 year build out period have inherent problems of being speculative in mature and of locking in ,,Patterns of growth that may not be appropriate in twenty gears. A better solution and too I is needed to address projects with long build out time frames. 3. Adding a planning board and council review criteria for assuring that there is internal integrity of design in the PUD. This would include assuring that there are good design features within the development including streets and street design that fit with the proposed land uses, that there are transitions and buffers between different densities and intensities of uses, that pedestrian access has been accounted for, that signage, fencing and lighting is well thought out, etc. Support need for this ---important. 4. Defining what developable area is within a PUD and not allowing densities to be based on undevelopable lands such as flood plains, wetlands, grater bodies, BPA power easements, etc. Support need for this ---important. 5. Generally reducing the allowable residential density allowed outright for each zone and then adding density incentives for affordable housing and additional open space and developed parklands. Support need for this ---important. 6. Allowing PUD's to occur in P-1 (public) zones. We would like to see additional review/explanation of this and would like to see additional review of this particularly as it relates to State lands and the potential conversion ofpublic pub lic lands to non-public purposes. Additional general comments: • On site, public notice should be required to be posted at the time of lure -application meeting with planning office. Meetings with neighbors to pro, fect anal others or-C an zatior�.s urrth. yer�erc�I interest in such projects should be scheduled prior to application. Missoula does this and Flathead County subdivision regulations now call for this. 0 .Pump grouses, lift stations and other such public infrastructure uses should not be allowed in parr areas and this space counted toward meeting park requirements as was dome in both Glacier Town Center and Starling PUDs. D. Staff Discussion: The current PUD regulations were drafted in 1993 during a time when PJD's were not being submitted to the city with any degree of regularity. Today, 15 years later, it is the development method of choice. Unfortunately, the regulations have not been updated to reflect current development trends nor has there been any recent attempts to improve its usability. Both staff and the public have agreed on the need to bring the regulations up to date and in line with current development and review procedures. Staff has held two work sessions with the planning board prior to the planning board public hearing. In addition, the document has been on the city web site for two months during this process and a draft has been forwarded to the local engineering and surveying offices for comment. See our prior comments on page one of these comments regarding inadequacy of planning board work sessions on this topic and inadequacy of consideration o, f comments to dacte. We would request when documents such as this are forwarded out to the development community for comment as noted above was done that our organization also be afforded this notice. EVALUATION BASED ON STATUTORY CRITERIA The statutory basis for reviewing a change in zoning is set forth by 76--2 -205, M.C.A. Findings of Fact for the zone change request are discussed relative to the itemized criteria described by 76-2--203, M.C.A. See our additional comments within the drat, ft on the proposed PUD text. 1. Does the requested zone coMply with the glowth policy? 5 The growth policy generally anticipates use of development standards that will conserve and protect the quality of life of the citizens of its community. Recommendation 13 (f states "Increase the use of the Planned Unit Development zoning overlay process for mix --use development and other largc or complex land projects." The PUD standards being proposed are specifically crafted to further this goal and recommendation thus the proposed amendment will generally promote the goals and objectives of the growth policy plan. 2. Is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in the streets? The proposed PUD amendments will improve the efficiency with which PUD's are administered and reviewed. PUD projects by their very nature are designed to allow the local governments to mitigate the impacts of the particular development proposed. Traffic flow, traffic generation, road carrying capacity and intersection design are all key components of the PUD review process and are being enhanced by the amendments proposed. 3. Will the requested zone secure safety from lire, panic, and other dangers? The proposed amendments would allow the PUD application, review and administration processes to flow much better for the city and for the development community. The very nature of the PUD process ensures that there would be no compromise with regard to public safety. 4. will the requested change promote the health and general welfare? The general health and welfare of the public will be promoted by creating a more usable PUD process which will ensure that more complex projects have a better opportunity to receive more thorough staff, planning board and council review and at the same time offering the development community more options with which to proceed. 5. will the requested zone provide for ade uate light and air? The PUD process allows for a much more specific and deliberate review process and creates situations where individual issues can be identified that might limit the provision of adequate light or air, shading, etc. The PUD also allows a mechanism to mitigate negative issues when identified. 6. will the requested zone prevent the overcrowdmLjof land or undue concentration of people? 6 The proposed changes include a recommendation to slightly reduce the potential density allowed in various residential zones thus further preventing the overcrowding of land and limiting the undue concentration of people. In addition, the minimum amount of developed parkland and open space is being defined to further limit the potential for overcrowding of sites. 7. will the requested zone facilitate the adequate provision of trans ortation water, sewer, e schools arks and other public requirements? The amendments would assist in making the PUD process more desirable for the development community. The PUD process as mentioned above crcatcs a greater opportunity for local government to identify areas of concern including the inadequate provision of water, sewer, schools, parks or other public improvements and at the same time creates the vehicle to require mitigation of the negative impacts. 8. Does the requested zone dive consideration to the particular suitability of the property for particular uses? The PUD standards by their very nature work to create and ensure compatibility and suitability with the site by allowing a project to be designed with the potentials and limitations of the site in immediate perspective. 9. Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to the character of flip rl i Rtr7 rtlp The PUD amendments proposed and the PUD regulations themselves create a review process whereby the development is crafted and portrayed in detail before approvals are granted or construction proceeds. The process ensures that the character of the district and the neighborhood be protected either through good design and mitigation of negative impacts or the project would not be approved. 10. will the ro osed zone conserve the value of buildings. The PUD amendments will allow the PUD process to proceed much smoother. The purpose of the PUD process is to create a forum whereby impacts to existing development is protected whether through good design or project mitigation to ensure that the surrounding neighborhood remains vital. The building values will be conserved by promoting and encouraging reasonable standards within these districts. These amendments will conserve the value of buildings. 7 11. Will the re nested zone encourage- the most appropriate use of the land throughout the jurisdiction? The most appropriate land uses throughout the jurisdiction are promoted by encouraging reasonable design standards that promote the general well-being of all citizens of the community. These changes will encourage a greater use of the PUD process which will allow a forum for the planning and design of more appropriate land uses throughout the planning jurisdiction. RECOAGWENDATION Staff recommends that the Kalispell City Planning Board adopt the findings in staff report KZTA--07-4A and recommend to the Kalispell City Council that the proposed amendments to the Planned Unit Development standards be adopted as shown on. attached Exhibit A. TJ Draft Prepared for May 13 Planning Board public hearing CHAPTER 27.21 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PUD) Sections: 27,21,010 Intent 27.21.020 General 27.21,030 Standards for Planned Unit Development District (PUD) 27.21.010: Intent. A punned unit development district shall serve as an overlay zoning district. It 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 a� 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. 27.21.020: General. The following application and review procedures shall apply to designation and approval of all planned unit developments in the city. (1). Initiation of Application: The land owner(s) or land owners') designee shall schedule a pre -application meeting with the planning department prior to official submission of a PUD application. The PUD application shall be submitted on a forum provided by the city. where multiple,,,. owners of the property or properties exist, all owners shall either sin the application or submit a letter of consent authorizin submission of the PUD application. City attorney should review what provisions are needed to address a situation where one owner chooses to withdraw or when separate owners fail to agree on the PUD terms or when applicants are annexed but city and applicant cannot reach agreement on a proposed .PUD. (2). PUD Application Thresholds: It is anticipated that PUD applications will be submitted in one of two forms, a PUD full application meeting all the requirements of this section and a PUD Placeholder application which serves as a place marker for a future PUD application. ithiin arty, = D apOi (caif n...it` ;. s `.possible . to incorporate o ie-or botl � of the cane ones listed below: CBF does not support without further explanation and justification allowing both categories of PUD to be part of one application. This defeats the ability to review and comprehensively plan for the property, as a whole, and to consider potential cumulative impacts. Does any other community in the west use this type of PUD process? Where is this proposed model drawn ,From and is it being successfully used elsewhere? How does the city reasonably plan for services ---sewer, water, roads, police, and fire by encouraging extensive open-ended annexation of property for which no plan is proposed. How is annexed property like this taxed and when does property like this pay taxesfor zoned but unbuilt uses? (a). PUD Full Application -- This application will be processed in accordance with the full provision of this chapter and will X require the submission of all application materials required in Section (3) PUD Application Materials below. (b). PUD Placeholder Application - This submittal typically is involved with annexation and initial zoning or a rezoning in which the applicant requests a PUD designation noting the applicant's intent to develop a PUD 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 if development is to proceed it will be done via the PUD process. Prior to development of the PUD the applicant would proceed using the full PUD application process. Mlle we understand the Placeholder PUD is an attempt to encourage properties adjoining the city to develop to city Standards so as to encourage orderly future growth, we have concerns that in Montana law there is no recognition of a PUD or the process of granting "temporary zoning's that must he replaced with a PUD overlay. If a developer choose not to proceed with a PUD does the city have firm regal recourse to require it? ���a A, _ ■ ■ w w . . .IrA . . ■ .. . r . • .. 0069"VAU'WIN MW V lk 11 11P • i 2MAP 41 4WWR• � • � w ww + w w . i w �11 • � ■ . . # ■ � ■ R w . w.

The full PUD application submittal shall contain the fo llo wing information in the form of an overall PUD development plan and supporting text: (a). A listing of each deviation or class of deviation from the underlying zoning district and a justification of the appropriateness for the deviation; (b). A listing of each deviation or class of deviation from the city subdivision regulations design standards and a justification of the appropriateness for the deviation; (c). Existing and proposed topo map using one to five foot intervals drawn to a scale not less than one inch equals 200 feet shoving all proposed streets, lots, buildings, open space, wetlands, floodplain, environmental hazards, and other elements basic to the development; This map should include proposed storm water facilities. (d). Proposed locations, areas, densities and types of residential and nonresidential uses and structures within the area proposed to be developed and maximum height of buildings or structure; (e). Proposed plans for handling vehicular traffic; sewage disposal; drainage; water supply; pans and open space; and where appropriate commercial, directional and entrance signage; lighting; parking; prominent landscaping, buffering, site perimeter and entrance treatment features; retaining wall work in excess of 3 feet in height, common fencing designs and locations where proposed, and other pertinent site development features; Identification of safe -routes -to -school plan, trails, and sidewalks should be added. The plan should ensure that adequate public parking is allowed on public and private streets and that public facilities like parks and trails have adequate public parking for accesses. situations that are now occurring in some subdivisions where access to public trails or parks is defacto denied by the lack of parking facifides. It may also be appropriate to establish that "gated comm un hies" are not allowed. The use, non-use, or standards for external fencing of developments should be addressed as a policy. 12 (f). Elevation drawings which demonstrate visually the general architectural features of each proposed building or architecturally distinct group or type of buildings and the site perimeter treatment. Note —This maybe waived by the zoning administrator on a case specific situation for uses listed below which may include but not limited to: 1. Single family detached housing when the lots equal or exceed the minimum lot size of the underlying zone; 2. Two unit townhouse or duplex development which is alley loaded and the lots equal or exceed the minimum lot size of the underlying zone. (g). The plan shall show the boundary lines of adjacent subdivided or unsubdivideci land and the existing zoning of the area proposed for the PUD overlay; Add that this Narrative shall include a review of the proposed design features that are ID proposed to provide for and ensure neighborhood compatibility. (h). A timeline expressing the order in which the development shall occur and estimated time for completing key components or phases; (i). Adequate provision for a homeowners association or other public or private management organization to provide for the operation and maintenance of all private (non- governmental) common facilities including any private streets or alley ways, homeowners parks, club houses, open space, trails, recreational facilities and amenities, shared parking facilities, private lighting systems, subdivision entrance signage and common mail receptacles; Adequate provisions shall be made for maintenance of all public common facilities which are not intended to be maintained by the public, i.e. a trail or parr developed on public land but intended to be maintained by a private organization or homeowners association; k). where a PUD also involves a subdivision of land, it shall also meet the application requirements of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations and the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act; 13 l}. For multi -phase projects or project components which may not be built for many years, the PUD may show conceptual street designs, proposed park and open space areas, trail concepts, proposed residential density and housing types (single family, townhouse, apartment, etc), commercial areas, etc. versus detailed lot, block, street and park development and building designs. Based on a finding and associated conditions placed on the PUD at time of approval, the applicant may be required to provide more specific information prior to development based on one of the following processes: (i) A finding that the outstanding items are significant and therefore should follow the full PUD application process; (ii) A finding that the outstanding items are generally minor and should be reviewed under the conditional use permit process, or (iii) A finding that the outstanding issues are insignificant and subject to administrative � review by the Kalispell Site Review Committee. (m). Any other information, plans and details which the city star planning board and/or city council may request to fully evaluate the development proposal and its impacts. As noted in earlier corn men is we do not support this provision of "I" as it essentially reinserts the concept PUD process, which was withdrawn earlier at the request of the city council. It sets up a long-term speculative negotiation process between the city and a developer and vest rights with one developer who may not deliver for a long time while a subsequent developer of a different property may be able to provide a project to meet the same need on a shorter d m e fram e. We would like to see where this approach is Being used elsewhere and what track record of success it has had. similarly we would like to see where a place holder PUD.con cept is being used and discussion of the need for a limited time frame for these place holder PUD developments as well as a discuss of when do rights for a developer "vest" with these tools. The Bozeman PUD standards (a copy has been provided to you) have much more detailed standards for phased developments and call for identification of development standards for future phases and a more comprehensive review process that should be considered here. See beginning on page 36-7 through page 36-15 Phasing of Planned Unit Developments and the Enforcement section that follows this as well as Planned 14 unit Development Design objectives and Criteria► other models should also be reviewed. (4). Review of Application: Upon submission of the application the zoning commission shall review such application based on the following: (a). The compliance of the proposed PUD with the city growth policy and in particular the density and use policies of the plan; (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; (c). The cxtcnt 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; (d). The overall internal integrity of the PUD 'including the 4ppropriate use of internal design elements the use of buffers between different land uses, the use of transitions between uses of eater and lesser intensit the use of enhanced design features to.provide connectedness for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic throw bout the PUD and the use of innovative and traditional desi n to foster more livable neighborhoods. (e). The nature and extent of the public parks and common open space M 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 'n the PUD; Criteria should he included to insure that phasing of parks and trails is in early not late phases of the project (f). The manner in which the PUD plan makes adequate provision for public services, provides adequate control 15 over vehicular traffic and furthers the amenities of recreation and visual enjoyment; Provision for waiver of SID should be included in this review. (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; (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; Add wording from current regs at 2 7.21. 020 (e) that require f n dings and review by city attorney, ff as it is state in this draft under general standards---- "Both the permitted and conditionally permitted uses of the underlying zone shall be deemed to be eligible for inclusion as permitted uses in a PUD however not all such uses may be deemed appropriate within the overall design of a particular PUD and mar be limited or modified br the PUDplan." - then the review should establish which conditionally permitted uses are eligible for inclusion. Conformity with all applicable provisions of this chapter. (5). Action by the zoning Commission. (a). The zoning commission shall hold a work session on a proposed PUD plan prior to any public hearing. The sorb session is intended for information purposes only to inform both the public and the commission about the various aspects of the project. It is not intended to be a public hearing and the commission shall take no formal action on the application. (b) The zoning commission shall hold a public hearing on the application pursuant to Section 27.30.030. The zoning commission shall submit its reco mmendat ions to the city council. The zoning commission may recommend approval in whole or in part, may recommend modification and can impose conditions which will clarify facets of the PUD, 16 implement city standards, regulations or policy, or serve to mitigate potential negative impacts, or the commission may recommend disapproval. (6). Action by the City Council. The city council shall consider the reco mmend at ion of the zoning commission and may affirm, modify or deny the PUD. If the PUD is approved, the applicant shall submit a final PUD in accordance with the conditions of approval as adopted by city council. When the city council approves the PUD, the area of land involved shall be re --designated as a PUD district by ordinance which shall incorporate the final PUD including any conditions or restrictions that may be imposed by the city council and shall constitute the zoning for the district. Consider adding wording from Bozeman regarding preliminary approval, seepage 36- 4 BS (7). Preparation and Filing of Final PUD. Upon approval of the preliminary PUD by the city council, the property owner(s) shall proceed with the preparation of the final PUD plan: The final PUD plan shall incorporate all the conditions imposed by the city council at the time of approval of the preliminary plan; (b). The final PUD plan shall have the following certification on the face of the final PUD plan: Should this also be on preliminary plat particularly for placeholder PUD , owner of the property set forth above, do hereby agree that I will develop the above property as a Planned Unit Development in accordance to the submitted PUD plan. ..add worming to this or the plat that hinds current and future and multiple owners to compliance with the PUD Signature of Property Owner/Developer 17 Approved this day of , 20 , by the Kalispell City Council. Attest: City Zoning Administrator (c). The applicant shall submit three signed copies of the PUD, final plan and related documents to the city planning department. Upon approval by the Zoning Administrator, one signed copy of the plan shall be returned to the applicant, a signed copy shall be retained on file in the City Clerk's office and one signed copy shall be kept on file with the city planning department. .It is not clear here that the Final Plat goes to the City Council for approvah Consider wording of Final Flan review and Approval in Bozeman plan C page 36-4 Also consider a time frame limit for submittal of a final plat. Here again see the section on Duration of Planned Unit Development in the Bozeman standards on page 36-6 section As (d). The final PUD shall be submitted to the planning office in a timely fashion following approval by the city council but in no case shall a final plat or building permit be issued until the final PUD plan has been submitted and approved; (e). where there is a question concerning compliance with a condition of the PUD, by either the applicant or planning staff, the issue will be forwarded to the next available Kalispell Site Review Committee meeting. If the issue cannot be satisfactorily resolved it shall be forwarded to city council; Notice of this should be provided to the public, Prior to the approval of a final plat or where a subdivision is not involved prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or commencement of a use approved by a PUD, when specific aspects of the PUD are not yet completed that are pertinent to the phase or use, the city council shall require bonding or any other appropriate collateral to ensure that all required public improvements or conditions of approval specifically required to be in place prior to final plat, occupancy or commencemcnt of use as appropriate shall be satisfactorily completed in accordance to the approved plans, specifications and time schedule. 18 [$}. Limitation on Rezoning. The zoning commission shall not initiate any amendment to the Planned Unit Development before the completion of the development as long as development is in conformity with the approved detailed Planned Unit Development and proceeding -n accordance with the time requirements imposed therein by the completion schedule. (9). Amending an Approved Final PUD. Once approved a PUD may be amended by the owner(s). Proposed amendments shall be submitted to the Kalispell Site Review Committee. The committee shall make one of the following findings: (a). The change(s) is deemed minor in scope and may be granted or denied with or without conditions by the Kalispell Site Review Committee or; (b). The change(s) is deemed major, in which case the amendment(s) is forwarded to the city council for consideration and final action. Note: Any action of the Kalispell Site Review Committee is appealable to the city council. Consider providing greater detail of'cvnditions foar amendment See Bozeman PUD #4 page 36-5 (10). Abandonment or Expiration. The zoning administrator shall monitor the PUD for compliance with the completion schedule set forth in the approved development plan and to assure that all improvements have been made in accordance with the approved development plan. The following procedures are to be followed when the PUD fails to comply with the completion schedule: [a). PUD's or portions thereof which do not involve or require a subdivision application to be implemented: 1. If a PUD project falls out of compliance with its approved completion schedule, notice of noncompliance with the completion schedule shall 19 be delivered in writing to the landowner and/or developer; 2. within 90 days of the notice (or anytime prior to the actual expiration of the approved completion schedule) the landowner and/or developer may request from the city council an extension of time. Said request shall set forth a proposed completion schedule and/or new timetable for installation of the improvements. The city council may grant one or more extension but each extension is a matter of grace which, if approved, may be subject to additional conditions imposed by the council which may be deemed necessary to address issues that have arisen due to the lapse in time; The use of "anytime" seems excessive and should be more limited 3. Abandonment shall be deemed by the city council to have occurred when the landowner/developer is deemed to be out of compliance with the approved completion schedule and has failed to secure an extension as provided for in (2) above; 4. Upon the abandonment of a development authorized under this section, the city council shall direct the Zoning Administrator to do the following: (a) If a portion of the PUD site was developed in accordance with the PUD, the PUD shall stay in force for that portion already developed; (b) For that portion of the PUD which was not developed under the terms of the PUD, the provisions of the PUD shall lapse and the site shall revert back to a PUD P laceho lder designation as provided for in 27.21.020 2 b _ Earlier questions as to the legal basis and enforceability of this condition apply here as well. (b). PUD's which are implemented by or subject to a subdivision application: l . If the underlying preliminary plat lapses, the PUD conditions of approval for that area shall lapse. (a). In such case the city shall notify the property owner of the lapse of the preliminary plat and associated PUD conditions of approval; (b). The Zonzn.g Administrator shall modify the PUD designation on the official zoning maintaining the underlying zoning classification but classi in the ro ert as a PUD P laceho lder as Provided for 27.21.020 2�b). 27.21.030: Standards for Planned Unit Development District (PUD). (1). General Standards. (a) Developable area of a PUD shall be defined as all land that could potentially be available for develo ment including land in existiag, or pptential lots streets open s ace and arks. Undevelo able area is defined as land within un-buildable areas including and in a 100ear flood lain BPA power line casements wetlands slo cs in excess of 3 o % and stream setback areas. Include in urn develo able area de �n ition storm water, facilities ate d LiLt as d um stations —these have been placed in pErk lands and coasted toward i2arkland requirements ire rior P UD's a ractice that should not be allowed 21 -z here is potential conflict here between definition of developable and undevelopahle area and the definition of open space in the zoning regs on page 190 of existing regs. Definition of open spacefor PUD should be clarified. (b). Both the permitted and conditionally permitted uses of the underlying zone shall be deemed to be eligible for inclusion as permitted uses in a PUD however not all such uses may be deemed appropriate within the overall design of a particular PUD and may be limited or modified by the PUD plan. (2). Establishment of PUD Districts. (a). Residential PUD District. 1. Minimum size is two acres including both developable and undevelopable area. For PUD's less than 2 acres in size, a PUD application may be submitted however such site will not be eligible for a density bonus as provided for in table 1 below. 2. A residential PUD district may be established in areas zoned R-1 through R-5, RA-1 through RA-3 and the H- I. 3. Housing types within a residential PUD may include single family, duplex and multi family housing arranged in attached, detached, townhouse, apartment or condominium configurations. 4. Residential dwelling unit density: Within a proposed residential PUD district residential densities are set forth below: Table 1 PUD Density Allocation See alternative criteria in Bozeman PUD on pages 36--1 o and consider this as an alternative to this system. See our prior comments on page 1 S-I6 of this memo.

Table 1 provides for the maximum # of dwellin units per developable acre. Developable acres is based on land in developable area and excludes undevelonable land, as defined in 27.21.030 (1 (a)) above- b. PUD's are not entitled automatically to the maximum density.allowed in table 1 above. Density shall be established based.Won on : (1) An analysis of the environmental factors affecting the land, (2) Compatibility with surrounding land uses and impact on adjacent neighborhood (3) Availabilitv of ublic infra -structure and C P.r"v7 r- f%.q (4) Consistency with the Kalispell Growth Policv. c.

Commercial uses and their associated parking may be allowed in a residential PUD district, provided: (a). Lots devoted to commercial uses and their associated parking shall not occupy more than l 0% of the developable land area of the PUD district; (b). Commercial uses shall be so located, designed and operated as to serve primarily the needs of persons within the district and secondarily persons residing elsewhere; (c). The acreage proposed for commercial use and its parking shall be excluded from the gro s s acreage when computing total allowable dwelling units. 6. Residential park/open space requirements: (a) The minimum park land required is based on a ratio of .03 acres per residential unit. Residential units are defined as both owner and renter occupied units and includes single family and multi -family attached and detached 24 ro>. construction but specifically excludes licensed retirement, assisted living or nursing home units. (b) Lands considered undevelopable as provided for in 27.21.30 (l(a)) shall not be considered as meeting the minimum park land and open space requirements. (c) The applicant shall submit a plan for development of each of the park areas. The approved plans shall be fully implemented by the applicant. (d) In addition to developed park lands, the PUD shall incorporate open space features, where and when appropriate to enhance the o veral l development, to serve as a necessary noise or visual barrier or to protect sensitive areas such as stream setbacks, flood plains, areas of steep slopes or other fragile areas. (e) The first 20 feet of width of a required pedestrian trail system (trail and associated easement) shall be considered a transportation facility and shall not be counted towards any open space of park land requirement. Commercial PUD District. 1. Minimum size is two acres of developable area. 2. A commercial PUD district may be established in areas zoned B--1 through B-5, P-1 and H-1. Do not see justification as noted earlier for adding P-1 to commercial or industrial land& Industrial PUD District. I. Mhur um size is two acres of developable area. 2. An Industrial PUD district may be established in areas zoned I-19 I-2, P-1 and B-5. 25 Residential Mixed Use PITH. 1. The minimum size is 5 acres of developable area. 2. A residential mixed use PUD may be established in areas zoned R-1 through R-5, RA-1 through. RA-3, B-1, P -1 and H--1; 3. The predominant land use character of the PUD must be residential; 4. The residential uses and densities appropriate to a Mixed Use PUD are the same as those permitted in a Residential PUD; 5. Commercial uses appropriate to a Mixed Use PUD are the same as those permitted in a Commercial PUD; This definition of .Mixed Use PUD is too broad. Consider ensuring commercial is scared or portioned to neighborhood use primarily when given percent of PUD is residential or that square footage uses for big box type retail or uses with outdoor displays such as car lots are limited in some mixed uses. 6. Incompatible industrial and commercial uses are not permitted; 7. The combined area of all co mmercial/industrial lots cannot exceed 35% of the developable area. Non -Residential Mixed Use PUD. 1. Minimum size is two acres of developable area. 2. A non-residential mixed use PUD may be established in any zoning district which would allow a commercial or industrial PUD. 3. Uses allowed under either a Commercial or Industrial PUD are allowed. CBF ask that Kalispell consider a more detailed and comprehensive update of their PUD provision by looking at models for other fast growing western communities that 26 are proactively addressing growth issues. As proposed, we do not believe that the PUD regulations adequately address many of the complex growth issues .Kalispell is facing with large scale and multiyear build out development proposals.
