NO. 31077 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING KALISPELL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 8, 2025 The regular meeting and work session of the Kalispell City Planning Commission is scheduled for Tuesday, April 8, 2025, beginning at 6:00 PM in the Kalispell City Council Chambers, Kalispell City Hall, 201 First Avenue East, Kalispell.   The public can participate in person in the Council Chambers or via videoconferencing. Register to join the video conference at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uQqbVt-oQc-gWDuskRV0ZQ Public Comment can also be provided via email to planning@kalispell.com  The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and take public comments on the agenda item listed below: 1. File #KA-25-02 and KCU-25-02– The Montana Department of Transportation (“MDT”) has submitted applications for annexation, initial zoning of P-1 (Public), and a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a combination facility located at 2905 Highway 93 North. The facility would include an approximately 28,400 square foot new building combining equipment storage, mechanics, and welding shops under one roof. MDT would continue to store salt, sand and other materials for maintenance at the location. The property can generally be described as Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 8673, lying and being in Government Lot 4, Section 19, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. A specific metes and bounds description is available upon request. The Planning Commission will also hold a work session on the following item: 1. In the last legislative session, the Montana Legislature passed Senate Bill 382, which created the new Montana Land Use Planning Act. Under the Act, for cities such as Kalispell, the current growth policy, subdivision regulations, and zoning regulations are largely replaced with a new land use planning paradigm. The concept is that a land use plan is established with extensive public input. The plan then becomes a guiding document for land use decisions, many of which, such as subdivisions, become administrative rather than conducted through a public hearing process. The opportunity for the public to be engaged comes with the process establishing the plan and regulations, not with review of a site-specific project. This work session is the sixth in a series the Planning Commission will hold in the coming months. It is intended that the focus of this work session will be a discussion of portions of the preliminary draft land use plan. Future work sessions will be noticed and a formal hearing will be held before the Commission forwards a recommendation to the City Council for its action. Documents pertaining to the agenda item are on file for public inspection at the Kalispell Development Services Department, 201 First Avenue East, Kalispell, MT 59901, and are available for public review during regular office hours. In addition, information on the agenda item is posted on our website at Planning Commission | Kalispell, MT (civicplus.com) under Planning Commission “upcoming agenda.”  Interested persons are encouraged to present their views and concerns to the Planning Commission. Written comments may be submitted to the Kalispell Development Services Department at the above address, prior to the date of the hearing or work session, or you may call us at (406) 758-7940 or e-mail us at planning@kalispell.com for additional information. The City of Kalispell does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its programs, services, activities, and employment practices. Accessible parking is available in the city lot north of City Hall, and accessible restrooms are available.  If you need auxiliary aids or services for effective communication or other reasonable accommodation to participate in the meeting or hearing, please contact the Development Services front desk at (406)758-7940 as soon as possible, preferably at least two working days before the meeting date. /s/Jarod Nygren/KR Jarod Nygren Development Services Director March 23, 2025 MNAXLP __________________________
