Planning commission chair backs proposed skilled nursing facility at 1307 Brenda Avenue
Summary
A public hearing was held on a conditional use permit for a proposed skilled nursing facility at 1307 Brenda Ave; Planning & Zoning Chair Ron Courtois endorsed the project as a local memory-care resource while an Independence Health Care representative warned it would not address behavioral needs and would require transfers.
The Board of Aldermen opened a public hearing on a conditional use permit request from Perryville Real Estate Holdings, LLC to allow a skilled nursing facility at 1307 Brenda Avenue. Ron Courtois, chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, told the board he believes the facility would be a valuable local resource for residents with memory-related needs and that the developer appears experienced in operating skilled nursing facilities.
Janal Whistler, Brand Ambassador for Independence Health Care Systems, Inc., told the board the proposed facility would not be equipped to address behavioral needs and that residents with such needs would need transfer to another facility. City Administrator Brent Buerck reported a neighbor had raised concern about a potential extension of Brenda Avenue into adjacent property. The hearing was closed with no formal action recorded in the minutes; any permit decision will follow additional review.
