Kirkwood loses last multi-family/commercial parcels (Civitas)

Summary

Two of the last three multi-family/commercial parcels in Kirkwood's Timber Creek area will become nine single-family lots plus a clubhouse. Critics say this forecloses workforce housing, a base lodge, and valley services forever; the developer says the site sat undeveloped for decades and single-family is the only viable path.
