The Planning Board will hold a public hearing and take public comments on the agenda items listed below:
1. File #KCU-22-03 – A request from Mark Gillette for a conditional use permit to allow four (4) multi-
family residential units as part of a mixed-use development at 428 First Avenue West. The property can be described as Lots 7 and 8 of Block 74 of the Kalispell Original Township as shown on the map or plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder, Flathead County, Montana. 2. File #KCU-22-04 – A request from Aaron McPherson (Absolute Ministries) for a conditional use permit
to allow a group home for up to eight (8) individuals located at 730 1st Ave W. The group home is anticipated to house five (5) individuals as transitional housing as part of a faith-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Individuals in the home would participate in the first phase of the program at a separate location and would have at least four (4) months of continuous sobriety before coming to the
home. The property can be described as Lots 8 and 9 of Block 107 of the Kalispell Original Township as
shown on the map or plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the Clerk and Recorder, Flathead County, Montana, excepting therefrom the southerly five (5) feet of Lot 9 when measured parallel with the south boundary thereof. 3. A request has been submitted to include 5th Street West between 5th Avenue West and 6th Avenue West
within the Westside Parking Management Zone. The Westside Parking Management Zone was established by Ordinance 1759 on August 2015. At that time, it was found that within the vicinity of Flathead High School the demand for curbside parking far exceeds the curbside space available resulting in limited availability of curbside parking for residents, congested streets and compromised roadside
safety. Accordingly, residents, students and teachers have to purchase parking permits in order to park on the street within the Parking Management Zone. Ordinance 1759 allows for the amendment of the
Parking Management Zone by increasing or reducing the boundary after holding a public hearing before the Kalispell City Planning Board. Requests to be added or removed from the management zone shall be done at the block face level (both sides) of the avenue or street by petition from at least 75% of the property owners. In this case, a petition has been submitted by property owners on the frontage
described above to be included in the Parking Management Zone. The petition includes a request to be
include within the Parking Management Zone from 6 of the 7 property owners (85%). The area proposed to be included within the Westside Parking Management Zone can be described as the public right-of-way between the southern boundary of Block 176 of Kalispell Addition Number 1 and the northern boundary of Block 177 of Kalispell Addition Number 1, and between the eastern edge of the right-of-way of 6th Avenue and the western edge of the right-of-way for 5th Avenue West.
