The Boston Planning & Development Agency will hold a public meeting to discuss a proposed amendment to the Neighborhood District Articles of the Boston Zoning Code regarding Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs).

As part of the initial pilot in November 2017, the ADU amendment was made to Article 53 (East Boston Neighborhood District), Article 55, (Jamaica Plain Neighborhood District), and Article 60 (Greater Mattapan Neighborhood District) of the Boston Zoning Code. An ADU is a new typology to Boston that could create naturally affordable rental units without significantly changing the fabric of the existing neighborhoods, by allowing owner occupants to carve out space within the envelope of their home for a smaller, independent rental unit.
