and
WHEREAS, based upon the Report of the Flathead Regional
Development office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Board and Zoning Commission the City Council County Planning g y C ncil of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is appropriate based upon the
following criterion:
Does the re nested zone comply with the Muster Plan?
The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the
Kalispell City -County Master Plan. According to the map of the
master plan, the property is currently designated 'High Density
Residential", with a maximum density of 40 dwelling units per acre.
RA-1 is in compliance with the Muster Plan.
Does the request lessen congestion in the streets?
Congestion in the street is caused by an overburden on the
street of traffic. The zone in this case would not cause undo
congestion because traffic generation is a function of the number
of dwelling units that are allowed within a given area. The
property is currently subdivided in a manner which precludes any
further subdivisions, No additional traffic should be generated by
this zoning designation.
1
Will the requested zone secure safety -from fire anic
and other dan ersir
Development within this zone is subject to development
standards including: lot coverage, maximum building heights and
the provision of off-street parking. Further, any development of
the property is subject to review by the city's Site plan Review
Committee, and requires the issuance of building, plumbing,
mechanical and electrical permits. These requirements and review
processes help ensure that development of the property subsequent
to the zone change is done in a safe manner. No significant
negative impact is expected.
Will the requested zone promote the health and general
1.7'MI faV-0?
The general purpose of the City's zoning ordinance is to
promote the general health and welfare and does so by implementing
the City -County Master Flan. The Master Plan would support the
requested zone change. Designation of this area as RA-1 would
serve the Flathead region with additional residential development.
Any traffic generation that the proposed change allows would have
been mitigated at the time of subdivision development. In
addition, this area has direct access to an existing major
arterial. Any impact to s tormwater runoff, sewers, and water have
been addressed at the time of subdivision proposals and
development.
The zoning ordinance provides a mechanism for public input and
review for all zone change requests, This process offers an
opportunity to ensure that any changes to the official zoning Nap
are done in the general public interest. Additionally., other
review mechanisms are in place to ensure that development is in
compliance with all applicable safety codes. No significant
negative impact is expected,
Will the requested zoneprovide for ade uate light and
air?
The development standards of the zoning ordinance and sub-
division regulations (i.e. parking, landscaping, clear vision
setback, roadway improvements) would ensure that light and air are
adequately provided. No significant negative impact is expected.
Will the re nested zone prevent the overcrowdin of land?
Overcrowding of land occurs when development out -paces or
exceeds the environmental or service limitations of the property.
The Subdivision and Zoning Regulations controls the intensity
requirements that a property can be developed with. Adequate
infrastructure is in place or can be provided at the time of
development to accommodate the land uses allowed in the requested
zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
2
Will the requested zone avoid undue concentration of
]eo le?
Concentration of people relates to the land use permitted by
a particular zone. The proposed zone change would not increase
residential density in the area. Infra -structure exists or can be
provided which supports the proposed change. The zoning ordinance
covers the intensity of use that would be permitted in this zone.
An undue concentration of people would result if the property is
developed at a level which exceeds the environmental or service
carrying capacity of the land which would not happen. The proposed
zoning will insure that the site is properly developed. No
significant negative impact is expected.
Will the re nested zone facilitate the ade uate rovision
of trans Portation water sewer, schools arks and ether
public re uirements?
Any additional demands for transportation, water, and sewer
will be evaluated pursuant to individual development proposals.
Because of the existing subdivision and types of uses permitted in
the zone, schools and parks should not be significantly impacted.
No significant negative impact is expected.
Does the re nested zone give consideration to the
articular suitabilityof the ro ert for articular
uses?
The subject property is well suited for uses permitted
within the RA-1 zone. The property is of adequate size and has
adequate access to facilities for the type of uses permitted in the
proposed zone. No significant negative impact is expected.
Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to
the character of the district?
The properties in question are well suited for the type of
development anticipated under the requested zone because of the
topography, access, regional location, and size of the proposal.
No significant negative impact is expected,
Would the proposed zone conserve the value of build in s?
The subject request would not significantly impact buildings.
If legally constructed buildings exist that don't meet the
requirements of the new zone those buildings would be considered
non -conforming. This non --conforming status would permit those
buildings to continue as before. There are no known uses that
would be affected by this zone. A change to the RA-1 zone will not
significantly impact, erode or devalue the neighborhood beyond the
type of uses that are currently allowed. No significant negative
impact is expected.
3
Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate
use of the land throughout the `urisdiction7
The requested zoning classification would be consistent with
the Kalispell city --County Master Plan, The Plan and the existing
permitted uses under the zoning ordinance generally identifies this
area for residential. The change would encourage the most
appropriate use of the land. No significant negative impact is
expected.
