Courthouse Plaza Shopping Center redevelopment

Summary

The Courthouse Plaza Shopping Center redevelopment is a proposed two-phase mixed-use redevelopment of the shopping center located at 10300 Willard Way and 3922 Blenheim Boulevard. Phase 1 proposes a 6-story mixed-use building, while Phase 2 proposes a new street network and reorientation of the grocery anchor. The proposal would require rezoning from CR to PD-M, a Master Development Plan, and multiple Special Exceptions. A pre-application briefing was presented to the Planning Commission on February 9, 2026, with no formal action taken. On February 24, 2026, City Planner Clara Schweiger presented the same briefing to the City Council, again with no action taken. Earlier in the process, as noted in an October 13, 2025 transcript, the City Council had voted at its July 22 meeting to defer the Courthouse Plaza Shopping Center Redevelopment proposal until October 28, suggesting the project had been before the Council in some form prior to the pre-application briefing stage recorded in early 2026.
