5354 Claremont Ave (former Safeway) medical office conversion

The former Safeway supermarket building (later used by Children's Hospital for storage and subletting) is being renovated by owner James Falaschi to hold medical offices, a permitted use in the C-28 Commercial Shopping zone. RCPC had previously argued Children's Hospital's warehousing use was impermissible; after the hospital negotiated an early lease termination, Falaschi obtained a building permit and began interior improvements.
