Section 3:

The City of Worcester Zoning Ordinance, adopted April 2, 1991, be and is hereby amended by adding the new accessory use as Section 8A "Accessory Dwelling Units", to Article IV- Use Regulations as follows:

Section 8A – Accessory Dwelling Units

A. Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this Section is to advance the public good by enabling the creation and expansion of new, diverse housing opportunities intended to increase the supply of healthy, accessible, affordable, and sustainable living spaces that address varied housing needs. Accessory Dwelling Units provide flexibility for diverse housing types and enable more opportunities for intergenerational living environments and provide rental income for homeowners while encouraging the efficient use of the existing housing stock and infrastructure and preserving the character of the neighborhoods.
