Commissioners voted unanimously to delete bylaw section 340(a)(4), removing a one-bedroom limit on accessory dwelling units to align with state allowance for ADU bedroom counts.
The Planning Commission voted to delete section 340(a)(4), which had limited accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to one bedroom. Luke McCarthy moved to remove the one-bedroom restriction; Dan Nugent seconded and the motion passed with all present voting in favor.
Minutes note the change is intended to align local bylaws with state law that allows ADUs to have any number of bedrooms. The deletion will be incorporated into the draft bylaw package the commission is assembling for Selectboard review.
