In 2008 the Union Tribune reported the owner of the Cardiff Post Office wanted new property rights to build a 3 story building and his site development could ‘include a drugstore such as a Walgreen’s” In a letter sent from San Pedro on Sept 15, 2008 the Post Office owner says the Citizens Plan “adversely affect the development potential and prospective property value of the post office property’. And that ‘floor area and lot coverage should be increased, to enable higher density development’. He says the Citizens Plan to limit lot consolidation “should be eliminated because larger building sites (min size appx 1 acre) are required to bring much needed services to Cardiff such as a ‘drugstore’. And that “the post office property is a possible candidate for a lot combination that would achieve the required lot size for such project’ and “a combination with one or more properties to the north and south could result in a site area of as much as 1 acre’.

Will our small town post office become 3 Stories and a Walgreen’s?
