not comment on stores until a deal has closed. Once the Ellman Cos. has anchor tenants, the Scottsdale City Council plans to vote on a use permit for each store. The city is not obligated to approve any of the three permits for the anchor stores. The July 2 development agreement lists a timetable for Los Arcos Town Center.

Anchor stores must have their titles by Dec. 31, 2004, and construction must begin by July 31, 2005, with stores opening by Dec. 31, 2005. The agreement allows those deadlines to slip up to three years if there are legal challenges. Ellman must pay the city's legal bills if there are any challenges.

Enough signatures were gathered to put the issue on the March 9 ballot. But just before City Attorney David Pennartz retired Aug. 15, he ruled the issue could not be voted on March 9 because the decision was an "administrative" act, not a "legislative" one. Only legislative acts can be placed as a referendum on the ballot. Pennartz's decision is being challenged in court.

The legal challenges shouldn't delay Los Arcos Town Center, Wright said. He said the delays with retailers are from processing paperwork, not because of fear of what might happen in court. "The union attempts to prevent new stores and competition in the Los Arcos area have had absolutely no impact on our determination or ability to deliver Los Arcos Town Center for area residents just as soon as possible," Wright said. Los Arcos "is definitely a location we are interested in," said Pete Kanelos, a spokesman for Wal-Mart. Lowe's Home Improvement declined to comment on a possible new store at Los Arcos.
