In the ongoing feud over a continuing care retirement center at 10024 S. Central Park Ave., the city's Plan Commission voted Thursday to approve the 212-unit building despite objections from Evergreen Park officials and residents.

The Chicago City Council has yet to vote on the issue, though, setting the stage for a possible showdown at City Hall by neighboring Evergreen Park officials and residents.

The five-storey Mount Greenwood facility would be operated by the Sisters of Mercy on property adjacent to the campuses of Saint Xavier University and Mother McAuley High School.

Evergreen Park Mayor James Sexton told the Daily Southtown that he thought that the village's concerns were ignored. He said that the facility would be located on an already crowded education campus that also is home to Brother Rice High School and Southwest Elementary School.

Ald. Ginger Rugai supports the project, telling the commission that the center would allow seniors to remain in the neighborhood.
