RESOLUTION NO. 4121
A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALTERATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
CITY OF KALISPELL BY INCLUDING THEREIN, AS AN ANNEXATION, A TRACT
OF LAND AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", ATTACHED HERETO, TO BE KNOWN
AS THREE MILE FARM COUNTRY TOWNHOMES NO. 252; TO ZONE SAID PROPERTY
TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, R-4, TO AMEND THE CITY ZONING MAP
ACCORDINGLY AND TO DECLARE AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Kalispell has received a petition from
Clyde B. Smith, James L. Petesch, Sheron J. Petesch, and Fred
Gendler, the owners of the property described in Exhibit "A",
attached hereto, requesting that the City of Kalispell annex the
territory into the City, and
WHEREAS, the Flathead Regional Development Office has made a
report on the Annexation/Zoning of the territory dated July 2,
1993, and
WHEREAS, the Kalispell City -County Planning Board and Zoning
Commission recommended that the territory be annexed into the City
of Kalispell and be zoned Two Family Residential, R-4, and
WHEREAS, based upon the Report of the Flathead Regional
Development Office and the recommendation of the Kalispell City -
County Planning Board and Zoning Commission, the City Council of
the City of Kalispell finds that the recommended zoning
classification for the territory is appropriate based upon the
following criterion:
Does the reguested zone comply with the Master Plan?
The property is designated by the Kalispell City -County
Master Plan as "Urban Residential (2-8 units per acre)".
Assuming 25% of a project is devoted to road right-of-
way, the R--4 zone would allow up to five (5) single
family houses or 10 duplex housing units per net acre.
Thus with a range of 5 - 10 units per acre, the requested
R--4 zoning classification is in conformance with the
Master Plan designation.
Is the requested zone designed to lessen congestion in
the streets and facilitate the adequate provision of
transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and
other public requirements?
A change from County rural zoning to a City higher
density residential zoning will allow a greater density
of development to occur. However, the area now would be
served by urban infrastructure including a municipal
street department, fire and police departments, and sewer
and water utilities. In conjunction with this zone
E

request, the applicants have submitted a subdivision with
PUD overlay that addresses the actual provision of public
utilities and infrastructure. As discussed below, when
analyzing the subdivision impacts, there are adequate
utilities and services available to serve this property.
The development of this site will involve further City
review both in the form of subdivision review and Site
Plan Committee review. Development of this site will
provide the opportunity of a second access out connecting
Three Mile Drive with Liberty Street. Schools will
continue to be impacted as additional people move to
Kalispell and the community experiences growth.
Will the requested zone secure safety from fire anic
and other dangers?
The property does not appear to be subject to any
particular natural hazards. Any additional development
of the property will require compliance with all City
safety codes including uniform codes relating to fire and
building safety. Upon annexation, the property will be
served with all municipal services including police and
fire protection. Water and sewer service is available to
the area.
Will the requested zone promote the health and general
welfare?
The requested zoning classification will promote the
health and general welfare by restricting land uses to
those that would be compatible to the adjoining
properties. Multi -family housing in large complexes
exists to the south while single-family neighborhoods
exist to the north and east. Thus this property is in a
transitional area bridging the difference between the two
development patterns. Other City codes that are intended
to serve the "general welfare" would also be applicable
to any additional development on the property.
Will .the re uested zone provide for adequate light and
air?.
The property development standards of an R-4 zoning
classification establish setback, height, and coverage
standards for new development. These standards are
sufficient to ensure adequate light and air consistent
with the character of the surrounding area.
Will the requested zone prevent the overcrowding of land
and the undue concentration of people?
Zoning (bulk and dimensional standards) and site plan
E
705
review authority will ensure that new development is
adequately served with utilities and other public demand
services.
Does the requested zone give consideration to the
Particular suitability of the property for particular
uses?
Adequate infrastructure is available or can be
extended/developed to accommodate future development.
The property generally slopes to the south. The slope
will add design options for the placement of housing. It
will also add some degree of complication for road
design, an issue that can be addressed with proper
engineering. There is opportunity to access both Liberty
Street and Three Mile Drive. This site is immediately
adjacent to the City and appears to be a logical
extension of the City.
Does the requested zone give reasonable consideration to
the character of the district?
The property is immediately adjacent to the City.
Residential development is occurring on all sides.
Public utilities and services are readily available.
Single-family housing lies to the north, west and east.
Multi -family housing is proposed to the south. This site
is situated between higher density RA-1 Apartment zoning
to the south and lower density Single Family Residential
R-3 zoning to the north and east. Thus, this site serves
as a transitional property and the requested zoning meets
that need.
Will the proposed zone conserve the value of buildings?
The property is now vacant. The proposed zoning
classification will insure the site is developed
residentially and allow development densities similar to
development of adjacent lots. This predictableness and
compatibility encourages neighborhood stability.
Will the requested zone encourage the most appropriate
use of the land throughout the municipality?
The requested R-4 zoning classification will promote land
uses consistent with the Master Plan and with the
surrounding uses. The applicants have submitted a PUD
overlay request which further refines the development
capabilities of this site.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF KALISPELL AS FOLLOWS:
