Council approves vacating paper street to clear sale of parish school to Cornerstone academy

Council considered a resolution to vacate a paper plat that runs through property at 35781 Stephen Boulevard, clearing title for the sale of the Saint Justin Martyr school building to Cornerstone Christian Academy.

The mayor said Cornerstone will relocate from a neighboring community and bring an estimated 70 to 75 jobs to Eastlake. A parish representative (Father Josh) thanked the city and said the parish had worked with the prospective buyer over several months. Council treated the item as routine title-cleanup required before conditional-use and variance requests that Cornerstone may later file.

Council voted to adopt the resolution on the night it was introduced, and staff said the purchase and follow-on land-use approvals would move through the usual permitting channels.
