Massachusetts S1002 amends zoning laws to restrict accessory dwelling units on smaller lots to owner-occupied properties or extended family members.
Massachusetts S1002 amends existing zoning laws to impose restrictions on accessory dwelling units on lots of 10,000 square feet or less in single-family housing zones. Under the bill, these units can only be occupied by the property owner or members of the owner's extended family. However, a municipal vote can waive these occupancy requirements, allowing for broader use of such units.
