Commission recommends zoning amendment clarifying conditional‐use permit revocation after heated public comment

The Kalispell Planning Commission on Nov. 12 recommended that City Council adopt a zoning text amendment (KZTA‑25‑02) clarifying the process and criteria for revoking conditional use permits (CUPs). The proposed amendment explicitly states that a CUP is revocable, prescribes notice procedures including a 15‑day cure period, establishes City Council as the hearing body with a 30‑day right to appeal to district court, enumerates findings that could justify revocation (material misrepresentation in the original application, noncompliance with approved conditions, or use inconsistent with the CUP), and allows for reinstatement if the property is brought into compliance.
