Overview: At the Chelsea Planning Board meeting, discussions were dominated by a proposed residential and commercial development at 105 and Park Street, 12 Essex Street, and Ellsworth Street. Residents expressed concerns over parking, the project’s scale, and its impact on the community, particularly its potential to exacerbate existing parking and traffic issues. The project aims to replace current structures with a 120-unit building featuring predominantly one-bedroom apartments, which residents argue do not meet local housing needs. Concerns about affordable housing and community character were raised, emphasizing the need for family-sized housing units.
