• The San Mateo Planning Commission approved site plan permits for the demolition of the former police station at 2000 S. Delaware St. and the construction of 120 residential housing units on the property at its meeting Tuesday night. Half the units are marked as affordable and will be managed by the MidPen Housing Corporation while the rest of the units will be leased separately. The project has now moved on to the City Council for final approval.
• On Tuesday, the Millbrae City Council tabled the conversation to approve plans to build a new Safeway citing traffic concerns. Millbrae’s new Safeway is slated to have lots of extra parking, an outdoor patio and a bank while retaining the historic mosaic currently seen along El Camino Real.

Safeway’s plans, which include tearing down the store at 525 El Camino Real and erecting a podium building with street-level parking both in front of and underneath the store, was approved in February by the Millbrae Planning Commission. During Monday’s meeting, the council noted a number of concerns around traffic and a desire for local labor to be preferred for the work.
The new proposal would demolish the current building, probably in early 2012, to create a 59,001-square-foot store with 183 parking spots which would be reached by using an escalator or elevator. Inside the store will be a Seattle’s Best Coffee and a U.S. Bank.
