The Paradise Valley Town Council has approved three motions allowing the owners of the land where the Ascension Lutheran Church once stood to create a four-home residential development.
At its Oct. 24 meeting following a public hearing, the council unanimously approved a minor general plan amendment designating a more than five-acre property at 7100 N. Mockingbird Lane from public/quasi-public to low-density residential; rezoning the property from special use permit-religious facility to single-family residential district; and the final plat creating four single-family residential lots ranging in size from 1.059 acres to 1.534 acres.
During its Sept. 3 meeting, the Paradise Valley Planning Commission recommended that the council approve the measures.
CHM Holding, which purchased the property from Ascension Lutheran Church in July 2023 for $11 million, will build one single-family home on each of four lots.
“Construction will be staggered by a few months and start with Lot 1 and progress to Lot 4. The homes will take approximately 22 months each to construct,” according to a staff report. “All construction parking will be located on the property as much as possible, but there are times when construction parking will occur on the adjoining local public streets of Hummingbird Lane and Meadowlark Lane.”
