Kalispell City Council on Monday approved the first steps toward the development of a new neighborhood off the northwest corner of Old Reserve Drive and Stillwater Road.

The development, dubbed The Reserve at Johnson Ranch, is set to include a residential lot with 186 single-family units, two multi-family lots totaling 493 dwelling units, and a commercial lot for a neighborhood grocery store on just over 90 acres. Spartan Holdings LLC and Whispering Trails LLC filed the project application. The land is currently undeveloped and has historically been used for agricultural production.

The four items before the council on the project included an amendment to the city’s growth policy, annexation of the area, zoning and Planned Unit Development (PUD), and preliminary plat approval.
