Braintree council continues public hearing on accessory dwelling unit zoning to July 8
Summary
The Town Council continued a public hearing on zoning text amendments for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to July 8 to allow review of a legal opinion requested by the town solicitor.
The Town of Braintree Town Council continued the public hearing on proposed zoning text amendments related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to July 8.
Councilors opened the public hearing on Order 25,003 and voted to continue it to the July 8 meeting after the town solicitor was asked to review a proposed amendment. Councilor Bridal had proposed an amendment that prompted a request for a legal opinion to ensure the text aligns with state law and the intent of the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act.
The council voted unanimously to continue the hearing; no public comment was offered at the meeting on the ADU amendments. The council’s action preserves the current hearing record and gives the solicitor time to advise on whether the proposed amendment should be revised to conform with state requirements.
The council did not take final action on the ordinance; the item will appear on the July 8 agenda for further consideration.
