Committee keeps Mack Park discontinuance in committee pending resident rehousing and zoning review
Summary
The Peabody Legal Affairs Committee voted 5-0 Aug. 19 to keep the Rent Control Board's discontinuance request for Mack Park Trailer Park in committee while residents are rehoused and staff reviews overlay-district density and egress questions.
The Peabody Legal Affairs Committee voted 5-0 Aug. 19 to leave the Rent Control Board's application to discontinue the permit for Mack Park Trailer Park in committee while remaining residents are rehoused and city staff provides more information on zoning and development potential. Councilor Chico moved the measure; the committee recorded a unanimous roll-call vote.
The action follows Rent Control Board Chairman Ted Neary's explanation that the board denied the discontinuance in November 2022 because "there was no plan to put the current residents somewhere" and that under state law "you can't discontinue a park if there are still residents on board." Neary identified himself for the record as chairman of the Peabody Rent Control Board.
