The appellant is seeking a Variance Appeal under Section 14-332 (i) of the City of Portland Zoning Ordinance. The appellant is requesting a variance from the off site parking for the proposed change of use from retail to a neighborhood family restaurant. Section 14-332 (i) requires one parking space for every 150 square feet of space used. The appellant has approximately 650 square feet of space and is proposing no off-street or off site parking spaces instead of the four (4) required parking spaces.

| 1. | New Business: B. Interpretation Appeal: 380 Cumberland Avenue, Three Eighty Cumberland Associates LLC, owners – Tax Map #037, Block B, Lot 001 in the B-3 Downtown Business Zone. The appellant is seeking an Interpretation Appeal to reverse the written decision of the Zoning Administrator issued on April 7, 2008 regarding a permit application requesting a change of use to allow a governmental use at this location. It was determined that section 14- 217 of the B-3 Zone does not list “Governmental Buildings and Uses” under permitted uses and therefore the permit application was denied. Representing the appeal for the owner is Attorney Lawrence Clough. |
