PUBLIC HEARING
Adopt Airport Neighborhood Plan
The Airport Neighborhood Plan is a proposal by the City of
Kalispell to amend the Kalispell City -County Master Plan on
approximately 210 acres. This Master Plan amendment is known as
the Kalispell City Airport Neighborhood Plan. The area is
generally bounded on the north by 18th Street, Ashley Creek on the
south; Airport Road on the west; and Highway 93 including Haven
Fields on the east. The plan recommends that the airport remain
operational as a general aviation facility. The plan identifies
six major objections which are directed at changing the character
of the neighborhood and improving safety for the airport. They
include:
1. Minimize hazards to navigation
2. Develop the airport in accordance to an airport plan
3. To increase development opportunities on nearby properties
4. To promote compatible land uses in and around the airport
5. To establish funding for airport operations and capital
improvements
6. To establish a priority schedule for implementation
With respect to appropriate land use in the "Airport Neighborhood",
the plan advocates zoning than. would allow a variety of commercial,
office and light industrial uses. Appropriate zoning for that
property fronting Highway 93 should be B-3 and the property within
the interior should be a mix of light industrial and commercial.
