Council continues public hearing on ADU zoning amendments to Sept. 16
Summary
The council opened a public hearing on a mayoral zoning ordinance to amend accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules to comply with the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act and voted to continue the hearing to Sept. 16, 2025.
The Town of Braintree Town Council opened a required public hearing on order 25003, a mayoral zoning ordinance with text amendments to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations to comply with the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act, and voted to continue the hearing to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2025.
Councilor Warren moved to continue the public hearing; the motion carried unanimously. No public testimony on the ordinance was recorded during the hearing segment.
Why it matters: the Affordable Homes Act at the state level has prompted municipalities across Massachusetts to update local ADU definitions and zoning rules. The council’s continuation preserves opportunity for further public comment and committee review before final action.
No specific ordinance text revisions were read into the record at the meeting; the council scheduled the matter for additional consideration at the Sept. 16 meeting.
