A former charity shop could be turned into shops and flats if plans are agreed with the council.
Twelve retail units and nine apartments could be built at the derelict site on Cardigan Road in Burley.
The building was formerly occupied by Poverty Aid, which sold discounted second hand furniture.
City View Holdings is seeking planning permission from Leeds City Council to convert the site.
A planning report said: “The site presently contains two attached buildings which vary between one and two storeys in scale.
“The buildings are vacant and are of derelict appearance.
“The site has previously been used for retail and storage purposes for a charity.”
A mix of one, two and three-bedroom flats would be created at the site, along with a communal entertainment area.
People living in the development would be close to a petrol station, bus stops and Burley Park railway station. The report added: “The site has good access to local facilities and amenities including shops, medical centre, pharmacy, primary school and parks.”
