Kalispell City Council on Monday gave the green light to the expansion of a senior living community along with several other requests from developers.
The proposed addition to Immanuel Lutheran Communities’ senior housing and nursing home facility campus on Crestline Avenue consists of 40 new units bordering Ryder Road. As the project calls for a building height of 68 feet, which is more than allowed under the property’s existing zoning, it requires a conditional use permit from City Hall.
The Kalispell Planning Board lent its support to the request following a November public hearing. Critics, though, have raised concerns over parking, construction and building height. One resident spoke out against the project before Council on Dec. 4, largely focusing on concerns about the project’s financing.
