The provisions of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request

of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion
of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such
change, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more
detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood.
In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests,
guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding
by the Board that the grant of the Special Permit will promote the public health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
The Board of Appeal , after careful consideration of the evidence presented at
the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:

2. There was no opposition to the petition during the public hearing portion
of the hearing.

existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood and can be granted in harmony
with the Zoning Ordinance and without derogating from its intent or the
public good.
