Overview: At the recent Granby Planning Board meeting, members engaged in a discussion about the implications of state regulations on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and the potential for local governance to play a role in their approval process. The board examined state mandates that allow ADUs under specific conditions, even when local zoning does not explicitly provide for them, and considered the need for local bylaws to address oversight, size limitations, and usage restrictions such as prohibiting short-term rentals.
