Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Peter L. Murray v. City of Portland

August 22, 2023301 A.3d 777

Summary

The court vacated the Superior Court's judgment affirming approval of a proposed residential development because the Planning Board did not make findings sufficient to permit meaningful judicial review. The court declined to decide whether the project complied with the Code's height, setback, and historic-preservation design-review requirements, instead remanding for specific findings of fact. The court remanded to the Superior Court with instructions to remand to the Planning Board.
