Background The City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center in 2009 (Planning Case 09- 011). This site is situated at the southwest corner of the County Road E and Lexington Avenue intersection, and is approximately 11 acres in size. The approved plans included the demolition of an existing office complex 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 under the original PUD. For each successive phase of the redevelopment, a Final PUD plan is required to be submitted to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. Phase I of the Master PUD was completed in 2012 and included the construction of the Walgreens Pharmacy, modifications to parking and circulation within the retail center, and stormwater management improvements. The Tavern Restaurant on Lexington Avenue, which is currently under construction, is identified as Phase III of the Master PUD.
