Arden Guthrie Commercial Development
Description
Two developers pitched shopping-center concepts for the city's vacant 17-acre site; the council chose Panorama for exclusive negotiations, with community outreach, tenant recruitment, and possible Caltrans off-ramp improvements ahead over the next 3-5 years.
Impact summary
The city denied it on Aug 19, 2026.
The long-blighted site could finally see a shopping center with jobs, sales tax revenue and amenities — but no tenants are committed yet and the off-ramp access remains a hurdle.
