The planning board will hold a public hearing and take public comments on the agenda items listed below: File #KZC-18-01 - A request from Jeremy Peterson to amend the city zoning map from R-3 (Residential) to RA-1 (Residential Apartment). The zoning map amendment would allow for the development of two-family residential housing which is consistent with the zoning and existing residential developments adjacent the subject property to the north. The request will be reviewed in accordance with Chapter 27.29 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. The property is located at 435 College Avenue and can be legally described as Parcel B of Certificate of Survey 2652 and Tract 1 of Certificate of Survey 3235 in Section 17, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. File #KA-18-03 - A request from Marty Crevier for annexation of 10.5-acres of land into the city with an initial zoning designation of B-1 (Neighborhood Business) upon annexation. The property is currently in the county and zoned county I-2 (Heavy Industrial). The property is currently vacant, however, was historically developed as a lumber mill. Water and sanitary sewer service are in the vicinity of the property and upon annexation extensions will be constructed to serve the property. The annexation request and initial city zoning classification will be reviewed in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. This property will be annexed under the provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2-4610, M.C.A., Annexation by Petition. The property is generally located at the southern terminus of Fennway and western terminus of 2nd Street West. The properties to be annexed can be legally described as Tract 3 of Certificate of Survey 19233 and Tract 1 of Certificate of Survey 19582 in Section 13, Township 28N, Range 22W, P.M.,M., Flathead County, Montana. File #'s KA-18-01, KRD-18-01 and KPP-18-04 - KLJ, on behalf of Flathead County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) has submitted three applications associated with the continued development of the Glacier Rail Park. The Glacier Rail Park is generally bound by Whitefish Stage Road to the West, Stillwater River to the north, BNSF tracks to the east and Oregon Street to the south. The three applications include: Annexation and Initial Zoning - As part of the development of the rail park FCEDA has required an additional 3.38 acres of land adjacent to their property to the north. The request would annex the 3.38 acres of land into the city with an initial zoning designation of I-2/PUD. The area to be annexed is currently in the county and zoned county I-2 (Heavy Industrial). The annexation request and initial city zoning classification will be reviewed in accordance with Section 27.03.010(4) of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. This property will be annexed under the provisions of Sections 7-2-4601 through 7-2-4610, M.C.A., Annexation by Petition. The area to be annexed can be described as a tract of land located in Tract 2-A of Certificate of Survey 20637 in the NW4 of Section 8, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. A more particular legal description can be obtained in the Kalispell Planning office. Targeted Economic Development District (TEDD) Amendment - The Glacier Rail Park has a 49-acre TEDD on the property. The TEDD was created as a component to the City's overall mission to meet its needs of promoting economic development, improving area employment opportunities and expanding the community's tax base. The City of Kalispell utilizes Tax Increment Financing as part of the overall strategy to provide infrastructure in support of value-adding industry pursuant to the 2013 Targeted Economic Development District Act, embodied in 7-15-4279, Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The TEDD provides the City of Kalispell the ability to employ tax increment financing as provided in 7-15-4282, MCA for appropriate public infrastructure projects in support of "value-adding industry or secondary value-added products or commodities" within the Glacier Rail Park Development Plan boundary. The request is to amend the TEDD boundary to include the 3.38 acres of land proposed for annexation, as outlined above. The request would increase the TEDD to approximately 52.38 acres in size. The 3.38-acre area to be included in the TEDD is located within the larger 104-acre Glacier Rail Park Development Plan boundary, thus the amendment was anticipated and is a logical expansion. The area to be included in the TEDD can be described as a tract of land located in Tract 2-A of Certificate of Survey 20637 in the NW4 of Section 8, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. A more particular legal description can be obtained in the Kalispell Planning office. Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat - The applicant is requesting a major subdivision of 44-acres into seven (7) rail-served lots and one (1) common area lot. The Kalispell City Council previously approved a major subdivision application on the subject property in 2014 for twenty (20) rail-served lots. As the project has progressed, FCEDA has determined that larger lots are more marketable than the smaller lots. Due to the fact the preliminary plat layout was significantly altered, a new application is required. The application request will be reviewed in accordance with Section 28.2.06 of the Kalispell Subdivision Regulations. The property to be subdivided can be described as Tracts 2 and 3 of Certificate of Survey 19246 and Tracts 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Certificate of Survey 18380 in the NW4 and NW4 NE4 of Section 8, Township 28N, Range 21W, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. File #'s KA-18-01, KPUD-18-01 and KPP-18-02 - R. Ranch Developments, LLC is requesting permission to annex a 90-acre property into the city. Upon annexation the applicant is requesting an R-3 Zone with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning overlay and major subdivision approval for a residential subdivision. The development will consist of 209 residential lots, 3.2-acres of neighborhood commercial, parkland and storage facilities. The property is undeveloped tract land located at the southeast intersection of Three Mile Drive and W. Springcreek, north of Two Mile Drive and southwest of the Springcreek Estates Subdivision.
