With the support of over 400 people on a petition and the approval of city planning staff, a proposal for an elder care facility on the grounds of St. Benedict Catholic Church sailed through the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee last week.
The unanimous approval of the proposal for the church on 48th Street just north of Frye Road sets up a likely approval by the city Planning Commission at its meeting at 6 p.m. tomorrow, Aug. 3, in Council Chambers.
The measure is slated to then go to City Council on Sept. 6 and is not likely to meet any opposition.
