Commissioners and members of the public debated technical ADU questions — whether ADUs should count toward lot coverage, how setbacks apply in split‑zoned parcels, whether condoization can be limited, and who enforces short‑term rental rules — and asked staff to refine language with counsel.

The CPDC opened a public hearing on proposed zoning changes to implement state ADU rules: ADUs up to 900 sq ft as a protected use, removal of owner‑occupancy and new parking thresholds tied to a 0.5‑mile MBTA buffer.
