Document Description: Albertsons grocery store proposes to expand their existing store at the Casitas Plaza shopping center into an adjacent vacant retail space of 21,440 sf. The floor area of Albertsons would expand form 20,062 sf (18,850 sf ground floor with 1,212 sf mezzanine) to 40,290 sf of grocery space including ~2,050 sf of pharmacy space. New architectural elements would be integrated into the existing storefront canopy and planters would be installed along the building frontage. Shopping carts would be retrofit to work with the current locking cart system operated by CVS in this shopping center. The entire Casitas Plaza Parking Lot would be improved with a lighted pedestrian path, and the parking lot would be reconfigured by revising the parking layout and landscape islands. The parking supply would be increased from 431 to 432 spaces.
