Back�round In June 2009 the Planning Commission and City Council approved a redevelopment application for the Arden Plaza retail center. The approved Master PUD includes the demolition of the existing office pod buildings, subdivision of the parcel into four lots, and the construction of four new buildings. As the proj ect was approved, Building 1 is 14,600 square feet and would be a pharmacy. Building 3 would be attached to Building 1 and would be anticipated to be a retail and/or restaurant use of 4,700 square feet. Building 2 would be a 6,000 square foot single restaurant user, and Building 4 would be 18,000 with a user that was yet to be determined. The entire proj ect would be completed in three phases. At their June 14, 2010, meeting, the City Council reviewed a request to amend the approved Master PUD and Final PUD for Phase I to allow an alternative development option that would exclude Building 3. The purpose of the applicant's request was to remove or delay the construction of Building 3 in order to move their negotiations with Walgreen's forward.
