Restaurateur Matthew Medure has applied for an administrative deviation for what will be his third restaurant in San Marco.

According to plans, the restaurant will be called Saleya Cafe & Bar Nicois at 2006 San Marco Blvd.

The zoning deviation request is to reduce the minimum number of off-street parking spaces from 32 to zero.

The restaurant is one of three storefronts owned by Frank Sanchez, Jonathan Davis and Patrick Davis. They paid $4 million for the property in January 2020

It is between Balis Place and Sorrento Road in the former Missy Riley Art & Pieces location between Town Hall and Maple Street Biscuit Company. Missy Riley moved the business several storefronts away near the San Marco Theatre building.

Plans state Saleya can have up to 131 occupants. There will be booth, banquet and bar seating.

JAA Architecture is the architect.

Medure did not return a call for comment.
