The future of Greasewood Flat is at stake with two requests to Scottsdale for changes in the city’s General Plan.
Taylor Morrison, a homebuilder which last year purchased the property where the popular restaurant sits, wants to put up houses on the land. At the same time, it announced plans to move the restaurant, owned by the heirs of the late George “Doc” Cavalliere, to a more remote location that company officials say will mirror its original ambiance.
Taylor Morrison paid $185,000 an acre for a 43-acre site in November 2013 The proposal to the city involves 48.8 acres; the difference comes from a separate purchase of land where houses stand, occupied by family members and others.
