Overview: During a recent meeting, the Chelmsford Zoning Board faced several consequential issues, with the most significant being the invocation of “safe harbor” protections to deny a comprehensive permit application for a property on Riverneck Road, LLC. The application, presented by Ashok Patel, sought approval under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40B to develop seven single-family dwellings and 16 townhouses, with six units designated for affordable housing. However, the town argued that it had already met the required percentage of low-income housing, thereby qualifying for “safe harbor” status, which allows the board to deny the application without the risk of an appeal.
