Bill Summary
Relative to the regulation of location, dimensions or design of accessory dwelling units. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to promote the use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) by allowing cities and towns to adopt an "accessory dwelling zoning district" that would permit the use of ADUs as of right. The bill prohibits unreasonable regulations on the location, dimensions, or design of ADUs, and requires such zoning districts to be adopted by a simple majority vote. However, cities and towns with an approved ADU zoning district would not be eligible for certain zoning incentive payments unless the district also meets the requirements of an approved "smart growth zoning district" under the existing law.
