The complete St. Mary of the Assumption church property has been up for sale for some time and now there is now an agreement of sale (i.e. a developer has agreed to purchase the property). This is a large property (73,000 square feet) and stretches between Gay Street and Carson (with Conarroe in the middle). It includes the parking lot (100 spaces), church, school, rectory and convent.

How this property will be redeveloped will have a huge impact on the neighborhood.

The developer is still working on their design and is not yet ready to present a proposal. So now's the time to get our ideas in.

There many possible scenarios, from 45 by-right houses to a combination of townhouses and apartments with 100-150 units or who knows what else.

- Will the buildings be kept and converted or torn down?

- How much parking will be provided?

- Will there be parking for the neighbors?

- Will there be parking for North Light?

- Will the developer build by-right, or seek a variance, or will the Councilman sponsor a bill to City Council to rezone the parcel?

This meeting is your chance to exchange information and get your opinions on the record, for the developer, and our public officials. Councilman Jones will be represented at the meeting. We are also hoping to have the Planning Commission and church represented.
