Background The City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center at County Road E and Lexington Avenue in 2009 (Planning Case 09-011). The approved plans included the demolition of an existing office building and the phased redevelopment of the site to be completed in three stages. A total of 97,035 square feet of retail and commercial building space was approved at the time. For each successive phase of the redevelopment, a Final PUD plan is required to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. The Master PUD was amended in 2011 to include a revised subdivision plan and updated development plans for the existing Walgreens Pharmacy (Planning Case 11-016). Phase I of the Master PUD was completed in 2012, and included the construction of the Walgreens building, modifications to parking and circulation within the retail center, and the construction of stormwater basins required for the proposed build-out of the site.
