The Superior Court recently affirmed the decision of the Providence Zoning Board of Review which approved an application by Flatbread Providence, Inc. and Meeting Street Associates, LLC for a special use permit. The special use permit allows Flatbread both to increase the seating capacity of a restaurant from 150 to 191, include a patio for outdoor dining, and reduce the number of on-site parking spaces to a total of 17. Flatbread will open the Thayer Street neighborhood restaurant that has been vacant for years. The Zoning Board was represented by Senior Assistant City Solicitor Lisa Dinerman.
