Abutting landowner sought review of decisions of city planning board and zoning board of appeals allowing construction of vehicle dealership. The Superior Court affirmed. Landowner appealed.
The Supreme Judicial Court held that:
- City ordinance provided that any party with standing, whether applicant or non-applicant, may timely appeal a city planner’s decision on a site plan amendment, whether major or minor site, to the city’s planning board, and
- Zoning board of appeals had jurisdiction to consider abutting landowner’s appeal of issuance, by city’s code enforcement officer (CEO), of a certificate of occupancy to dealership.
