The redevelopment request for Ascension Lutheran Church to become four single-family R-43 lots came before the Paradise Valley Planning Commission for the first time June 18.
Cole Mecray of CHM Holdings bought the property for $11 million last year and has allowed the church to remain until July 2024. He has also agreed to assist in the removal and relocation efforts of the spire.
Demolition and removal of the structures will begin after the end of July and before the final plat can be approved, according to Planning Manager Paul Michaud.
