Kalispell City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 27
15 B-5 INDUSTRIAL-BUSINESS
§ 27.15.010 Intent.
A zoning district intended primarily to accommodate a variety of business, warehouse, and light-industrial uses and incorporating these uses into an integrated design for compatibility. Compatibility issues may be addressed through development of an industrial-commercial park development or through a planned unit development (PUD) overlay zoning district. Such uses would typically not create objectionable characteristics (such as dirt, noise, glare, heat, odor, smoke, etc.) which extend beyond lot lines. This district should be located near major arterials or rail services. This zoning district would typically be found in areas designated as industrial or urban mixed use on the Kalispell Land Use Plan Future Land Use Map.
