Burlington appears to be downsizing its Regency Plaza store by two-thirds, creating space for two more retailers that include a larger-than-usual AutoZone.

The move is a sign of a new strategy for both.

Burlington, the national off-price retailer of clothing, home décor and other merchandise, leased at least 80,500 square feet of space at 9824 Atlantic Blvd. in the shopping center at southeast Atlantic Boulevard and Live Oak Drive.

The location is near Regency Square Mall in Arlington.

The city is reviewing a permit application for a split in the space at an estimated project cost of $200,000. That project would prepare 31,425 square feet of space for future build-out by AutoZone.

Burlington says on burlington.com that its preferred size ranges from 18,000 to 30,000 square feet.
