Planning Board opened a public hearing on accessory dwelling unit (ADU) zoning updates to implement the statey-right ADU mandate: allow ADUs up to 1,200 sq ft (not to exceed principal dwelling), limit one ADU per lot, and remove special-permit language that previously applied in some districts. ZBA chair David Williams and ZBA member Doris Cahill described the draft changes and said the final warrant language is the 02/25/2026 version. Residents raised questions about removal of some special-permit options, conversions from one- to two-family, and how changes affect industrial and mixed-use/z
