Carl Dranoff's plan to build 45 apartments, 20 underground parking spaces and ground-floor stores behind the old Royal Theater facade at 15th and South, which would be preserved, goes before the Philadelphia City Planning Commission at its monthly meeting, upstairs at 1515 Arch St., 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Also on deck: the 300-room Hudson Hotel proposal for 17th and Chancellor, the Center City site now occupied by Little Pete's diner. Both projects will require Civic Design Reviews.

Other business includes new development lots at the old Navy Yard and area plans in parts of North Philadelphia.
