NO. 31467 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING KALISPELL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION September 9, 2025 The regular meeting and work session of the Kalispell City Planning Commission is scheduled for Tuesday, Tuesday, September 9, 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_mCt1jZpTSIioVLlrvR5XlQ Public Comment can also be provided via email to [email protected]  The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and take public comments on the agenda item listed below: 1. File # KZTA-25-01 – Hayden Homes has submitted a petition for a zoning text amendment relating to how setbacks are applied to a structure’s eaves. Current zoning regulations, under Section 27.37.010(177), defines a setback as “The horizontal distance required between any structure (i.e. the furthest extension of the structure, typically an eave line or deck) and a lot line. . . .” This amendment would allow eaves to extend up to two (2) feet into the setback areas in the R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 zones. The Planning Commission will also hold a work session on the following item: 1. In the 2023 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 twelfth 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 chapters 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 items 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 [email protected] 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 August 24, 2025 MNAXLP __________________________

NO. 31474 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FLATHEAD COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REGULAR MEETING The Flathead County Planning Board will hold their regular meeting on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, beginning at 6:00pm in the 2nd floor conference room of the South Campus Building, 40 11th Street West, Kalispell, Montana. During this meeting, the Board will hold a public hearing to consider the agenda items described below and make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners who will take final action.  1. A request from John Ramesz & Lori Haverty-Ramesz, with technical assistance from APEC Engineering Inc., for preliminary plat approval of Ramesz Farm Subdivision, a proposal to create eight (8) residential lots on 80.00 acres. The subdivision would be served by individual wells and individual septic systems. Access to the lots will be provided via driveway approaches connecting to one of two private roads, which then lead to West Valley Drive. The property is located at 1683 Old Reserve Drive near Kalispell, Montana and can legally be described as The West Half of Southwest Quarter of Section 27, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. This item will be reviewed by the West Valley Land Use Advisory Committee on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 @ 6:00 PM, at the West Valley School Library, 2290 Farm to Market Road, Kalispell, MT 59901.  2. A publicly initiated text amendment to various sections of the Flathead County Subdivision Regulations (FCSR). The proposal would remove Section 4.5 Subdivisions Providing Multiple Spaces for Recreational Camping Vehicles or Mobile Homes and amend various sections including: Section 4.1.14 Final Plat Review, Section 4.6.1 General Guidance for Condominiums, Townhomes, and Townhouses, Section 4.6.3 Condominium, Townhome, and Townhouse exemption from Subdivision Regulations, Section 4.7.4 Lands Unsuitable for Subdivision, Section 4.7.6 Landscape Requirements, Section 4.7.15 Access, Section 4.7.16 Road Design and Construction Standards, Section 4.7.17 Roadway Improvements, Section 4.7.24 Parkland Dedication, Section 4.7.26 Fire Protection, Section 4.7.27 Wildland Urban Interface, and Section 4.9 Definitions. The amendment would also incorporate updates to the Appendices and a comprehensive renumbering of the document. 3. A public-initiated text amendment to the Canyon Area Land Use Regulatory System (CALURS). The proposed changes are in response to the changes made to MCA during the 2025 legislative session. The legislative updates require adding definitions related to manufactured homes, factory-built housing, and tiny dwelling units. The amendment will also include adding definitions for RV, RV park, and amend the definition of guest cottage. ( Per 76-2-202 MCA and SB 252 and SB 532, 69th Legislative Session). SB 174 (69th Legislative Session) removes RV parks from subdivision review; as such, in CALURS, only Major Land Use Review will be required for RV parks. Section 4.2 is being updated to add the existing RV park standards from the subdivision regulations. This item will be reviewed by the Middle Canyon Land Use Advisory Committee on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 @ 7:00 PM, at the Coram Fire Hall, located on Seville Lane, Coram, MT 59913 Documents and maps pertaining to these agenda items are on file for public inspection in the Flathead County Planning and Zoning Office, South Campus Building, 40 11th Street West, Ste. 220 in Kalispell.
