The planning board will hold a public hearing and take public comments on the agenda items listed below: File #'s KGPA - 19-01 and KZC - 19-01 - A request has been submitted by Meridian Group Associates, LLC for a growth policy amendment and zone change on 5.79-acres of land. The growth policy amendment and zone change are being requested in order to allow for the expansion of the existing UPS facilities located at 1151 N. Meridian Road. The subject property is generally located at the east side of the intersection of N. Meridian Road and Three Mile Drive. The subject property can be described as Tracts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of COS 17512 in Section 7, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. A more particular description of the application requests is below: Growth Policy Map Amendment - The applicants have applied for an amendment to the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map on 5.79-acres from "Urban Residential" to "Urban Mixed Use." The subject property is currently designated as "Urban Residential" on the majority of the 5.79-acres. The amendment request is to change the 5.79-acres from "Urban Residential" to "Urban Mixed Use" to accommodate the expansion of an existing I-1 Zone encompassing the existing UPS facilities, and RA-2 Zone encompassing the residential properties to the south. Zone Change - The applicants have applied for a zone change of the 5.79-acre property from the existing R-3 Zone to I-1 and RA-2 Zones. The I-1 Zone change is being requested for Tracts 1 and 2 of COS 17512 in Section 7, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The RA-2 Zone change is being requested for Tracts 3 and 4 of COS 17512 in Section 7, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. The I-1 zone change request would expand an existing I-1 Zone encompassing the existing UPS facilities to the south, allowing for the expansion of those facilities. Likewise, the zone change to RA-2 would expand an existing RA-2 Zone north, eliminating the existing R-3 Zone island. The zone change request will be reviewed in accordance with Chapter 27.29 of the Kalispell Zoning Ordinance. File # KGPA - 19-02 - A request from the Kalispell City Planning Department to amend the Kalispell Growth Policy Future Land Use Map. The requested amendment would include expanding the annexation boundary north and designate future land uses for those properties being included within the annexation boundary. The proposed amendment is being proposed due to the ability of the City of Kalispell to provide city services to the area and to include properties within the annexation boundary whose owners have expressed interest in developing in the city. The amendment would expand the annexation boundary around approximately 240-acres of land located at the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of Church Drive and U.S. 93 North. Coinciding with the expansion of the annexation boundary, future land use designations of the properties would be Neighborhood Commercial, High Density Residential, Urban Mixed Use and Suburban Residential. The area to be amended is generally located at the northwest and northeast corner of the intersection of Church Drive and U.S. 93 and can be described as Lot 2 of COS 17246, Lot 1 B of the Amended Plat of Lot 1 of Patterson Tracts in Section 12, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, and the SW4 of Section 7 (160-acres), Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M. Flathead County, Montana.
