NO. 31627 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING KALISPELL CITY PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 12, 2025 The regular meeting and work session of the Kalispell City Planning Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, 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/s/81056796356 Public Comment can also be provided via email to [email protected]  The Planning Commission will hold public hearings and take public comments on the agenda items listed below: 1. File #KPP-25-03 and #KCU-25-04 – LBO Properties, LLLP, has submitted applications for North West View, including requests for (1) preliminary plat approval for 149 residential units (111 detached single-family and 38 attached single-family/townhouse) on approximately 42.58 acres, including lots, roads, and common areas; and (2) a conditional use permit to allow the attached single-family/townhouses. The property is located approximately 750 feet north of the intersection of Stillwater Road and Taelor Road, and can be described as a tract of land situated, lying and being in the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter and in the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter, all of Section 25, Township 29 North, Range 22 West, P.M.,M., Flathead County, Montana, and more particularly described as Tract 1 of Certificate of Survey No. 22839, records of Flathead County, Montana, containing 42.583 acres, more or less, subject to and together with all appurtenant easements of record. 2. File #KPP-25-04 – Roger Foley has submitted an application for preliminary plat approval for North Meadows Subdivision, containing 44 townhouse/attached single-family lots (22 parent lots) on approximately 12.13 acres, including lots, roads and common areas. The proposal includes variance requests relating to setbacks from Ashley Creek (generally 200 feet to be reduced in some areas to 100 feet), cul-de-sac road length (generally 600 feet to be increased to about 870 feet), and block length (generally a maximum of 600 feet to be increased to about 900 feet). The property is located at 1859 South Meadows Drive and can be described as a tract of land in the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 19, Township 28 North, Range 21 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana, described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of the westerly boundary of said Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter with the centerline of Ashley Creek; thence southerly and along said westerly boundary a distance of 314 feet, more or less, to the southwest corner of said Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter; thence easterly and along the south boundary a distance of 1342.71 feet, more or less, to the southeast corner; thence northerly and along the east boundary a distance of 550 feet to a point; thence westerly and parallel to the southerly boundary a distance of 195 feet, more or less, to the centerline of Ashley Creek; thence westerly and following the centerline of Ashley Creek to the point of beginning. 3. File # KZTA-25-02 – The City of Kalispell has initiated a petition for a zoning text amendment relating to the revocation of conditional use permits. Current zoning regulations, under Chapter 27.33, detail the processing and review criteria for conditional use permits, as well as the denial or violation of a conditional use permit. This amendment would clarify the process for revocation of an issued conditional use permit. 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 fourteenth 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 October 26, 2025 MNAXLP __________________________
