| B | Variance Appeal:
231 York Street, Bernard Orne, owner Tax Map #044 Block E Lots #003 in the B-1 Neighborhood Business Zone. The Appellant is seeking a Variance Appeal under Sections 14-332 (i) and 14-334 of the City of Portland Zoning Ordinance. Section 14-332 (i) requires one (1) parking space for each one hundred (150) square feet of floor area not used for bulk storage or food preparation for restaurant use. The appellant has one thousand (1000) square feet of floor area and would need seven (7) parking spaces. Section 14-334 requires that the parking be located off street. The Appellant is requesting to waive the off street parking requirement since the property is primarily surrounding a residential zone and in the belief that this will be a neighborhood restaurant and will be in walking distance for the patrons. Representing the appeal is the applicant, Tod Dana.
