Overview: In a recent Paterson Planning Board meeting, a decision was reached regarding a contentious housing project proposal, reflecting community apprehensions about neighborhood density and infrastructure strain. The board denied an application for the consolidation and re-division of lots aimed at creating additional housing units due to concerns over the impact on the already dense neighborhood, parking issues, and property neglect. This decision came after public comments were raised against the proposed three-family houses, citing the lack of justification for the project’s benefits and emphasizing the challenges posed by neglected property in a crowded area.
