The Agenda for the meeting will be:
A. Call to Order and Roll Call
B. Approval of Minutes of June 10, 2014.
C. Hear the Public — The public may comment on any matter on the agenda or not on the agenda, except the public
hearing item listed immediately below. (Comments are typically held to 3 minutes or less.)
D. Public Hearing:
In addition, the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on the
following agenda items. Following the hearing and board discussion, the board may make its recommendations
to the Kalispell City Council for final action:
1. A request from Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) for the subdivision of
25.5 acres into twelve (12) commercial lots, a storm drainage tract, and a segment of Kalispell public right-of-
way. The site is located east of Reserve Loop, west of Highway 93 Alternate (Kalispell Bypass), and south of
Reserve Place (formerly West Reserve Drive).
2. A request from John W. Flink, of J2 Office Products, for an amendment to the text of Section 27.12.020 (23) of
the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The request is to add "office supply" and "retail enterprises no larger than
4,000 sq ft" as bullets listed under the permitted use of "Retail, limited." The effect of this change would allow
office supply retail uses larger than 4,000 square feet in the B-1 (Neighborhood Business) land use zoning
district.
3. Zoning Ordinance Text Update - A request from the City of Kalispell for a series of updates to the zoning
ordinance. Every few years, the City initiates a set of text amendments to clean-up areas of the ordinance that
need additional clarification or to adopt general provisions that are needed to keep the ordinance operating in an
effective, user-friendly manner. This set of updates includes more specific provisions for temporary uses in a
placeholder planned unit development (Section 27.19.020), adding rail industrial parks as a permitted use in the
I-1(Light Industrial) zone (Section 27.16.020), clarifications and more consistent language under the off-street
parking design chapter (Chapter 27.24), cross-references for definitions relating to residential uses (Chapter
27.37), clarification of the use of recreational vehicles in certain areas (new Section 27.20.085 and Chapter
27.37), clarification of site review standards (Section 27.20.120), and clarification of rules relating to kennels
(Section 27.34.010). It also brings the existing airport affected area regulations under the zoning ordinance
rather than the currently stand-alone ordinance enforced by the airport manager (new Section 27.20.025).
Growth Policy Update - The Kalispell City Planning Board has spent past year drafting an update to the text of
the Kalispell Growth Policy. The updated draft addresses a number of key topics that affect the future growth
and development of the City of Kalispell. Each chapter presents a brief introduction of the particular topic, lists
a number of issues surrounding the topic, establishes goals and priorities, lays out the policies that will guide the
city, and finishes with a number of recommended actions. The Growth Policy's Future Land Use Map has
remained unchanged.
