US: Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Logan Airport/Chelsea has petitioned the Zoning Board of Appeals to expand the 128-room hotel by another 68 rooms.
The expansion would occupy land to the north of the hotel, and
would see the creation of a 200-room dual branded hotel, which is a
current direction in the lodging industry. It would add 28,234
square feet to the existing structure, on Maple Street in Chelsea,
Massachusetts. The majority of the hotel is extended stay rooms
now, but there would be 12 non-extended stay rooms created during
the expansion, if approved.
A special permit is required for parking because 118 spaces are
required, and only 86 are provided. A Site Plan Review process is
also required. The matter has been in front of the Zoning Board of
Appeals already for a preliminary hearing, and a vote on the the
project is expected this month.
