underlying R-3 and B-1 Zones to provide a comprehensive, integrated development plan providing
flexibility of architectural design, density as well as the option to mix land uses. In this case, the
development is seeking 3.2-acres of neighborhood commercial use at the intersection of Three Mile
Drive and W. Springcreek, two-family residential and single-family residential housing, developed
park, wetland conservation, dog park, trail, and R.V. parking storage. The PUD was reviewed in
accordance with Section 27.19.020(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The initial city zoning
classification was reviewed in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning
Ordinance and the itemized criteria described by 76-2-304, M.C.A.
The property is undeveloped tract land located at the southeast intersection of Three Mile Drive and
W. Springcreek, north of Two Mile Drive and southwest of the Springcreek Estates Subdivision. The
property can be legally described as Tract 1 of COS 20588 in the NW4, Section 11, Township 28N,
