Arlington Mixed Use Development Project

Arlington Mixed Use Development Project

The Project proposes the demolition of the existing 192,139 square foot (sf) former Sears buildings and all appurtenances. The Sears Auto Center is a 13,713-sf structure. The 178,426 sf Sears structure consists of a 90,526 sf basement and 87,900 sf ground level. The Project proposes the development of approximately 576,203 sf of residential and commercial-retail uses. The Project will include several amenities including: onsite leasing office, tuck-under garages, carports, public dog park, outdoor resort style pool and spa, fitness area, clubhouse, shade structures with barbeques and tables, multi-use turf areas, outdoor gaming and play spaces. The residential component of the proposed Project includes development of 27 residential buildings providing for 546,474 sf of residential uses and 4,409 sf Clubhouse/Fitness/Leasing building. The Clubhouse/Fitness/Leasing building will be publicly accessible while the residential portion will be accessible via gates. The residential buildings will allow for a total of 388 dwelling units and be divided between 13 3-story garden style buildings providing for 318 dwelling units and 14 2-story townhome buildings providing for 70 dwelling units. The proposed Project will also provide 25,320 sf of commercial-retail use by way of two commercial-retail buildings in the southern portion of the site along Arlington Avenue. The commercial-retail buildings include: a 5,000 sf multi-tenant retail speculative pad with an adjoining outdoor dining/flex space that could include a 24-hour operation; and a proposed 20,320 sf grocery store pad. The grocery store will operate between the hours of 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. seven days a week. Construction of the Project will occur in two phases with the first phase being commercial parcel, and the second phase being the residential parcel over the course of approximately 23 months. The earthwork is anticipated to balance with 28,000 cubic feet (cf) of cut and 28,000 cf of fill. Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) provides electrical services to the Project site. All electrical facilities would connect to existing connections in Arlington Avenue and Streeter Avenue. Additional circuits will be required to meet the Project’s estimated electric demand. This will require approximately 1.5 miles of offsite trenching to connect to existing RPU electric facilities. Trenching will occur within existing ROW and will include approximately 0.5 miles in Streeter Avenue from Arlington Avenue to Central Avenue; approximately 0.5 miles in Central Avenue from Streeter Avenue to Hillside Avenue; and approximately 0.5 miles in Hillside Avenue to Mountain View Avenue. It is anticipated that trenching may be as deep as 7 to 8 feet below ground. There are some existing conduit and vaults within this alignment. The Project will be required to provide areas of new 6.5-inch conduit and approximately 10 electric vaults sized at 8 feet by 14 feet in order to provide the additional circuit and connect to existing facilities.
