Background The City Council previously approved a Master and Final Planned Unit Development for Arden Plaza, LLC (the "Developer") at 3529 Lexington Avenue N ("Subject Property") in 2009 for the phased redevelopment of the I I acre site. A total of 97,035 square feet of retail and commercial building space was approved under the original PUD. The total square footage included the existing 35,647 square foot Building #5, where the Subject Property is located, and the original PUD established the building's use as retail. Brett Foss of Odds & Ends Again ("Applicant"), submitted a land use application for a Planned Unit Development Amendment, proposing an amendment to the PUD to allow for a Class I thrift store use in an approximately 6,943 square foot tenant space within the 35,647 square foot multi - tenant building on the subject property. A Planned Unit Development Amendment is required at this location to allow for a thrift store use due to the current permitted use in the Planned Unit Development Agreement is limited to retail sales and services. On July 28, 2025, the City Council approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment with five conditions. These changes require an Amendment to the Development Agreement between the City and the Developer. The City Attorney has prepared the Agreement and the document has been reviewed and approved by the Developer and staff (Attachment A). Page 1 of 2
