Quick note from this afternoon’s City Council meeting: Councilmembers gave unanimous final approval to the changes in the Admiral Safeway project (79 apartments instead of 35 plus flex-work spaces), which the city considered a “minor” amendment to the plan. As first reported here in January when the changes originally came to light, Safeway said the developer for that side of the site (east of the new store) couldn’t get financing for the flex-work units after all. If you want to watch Councilmember Sally Clark summarizing the change, followed by Councilmember Tom Rasmussen pointing out that the Admiral Neighborhood Association supports the change but protests not being included earlier in the revision plan, and finally the vote, it’s all in the video of this afternoon’s council meeting. The Admiral Safeway item starts 4 minutes into the session, and lasts about 6 minutes. Safeway has said the project remains on track for completion this summer.
