The new zoning category creates a framework for age-restricted housing. The approved rules allow a surviving spouse under 55 to remain in the home and require applicants to obtain final approvals from the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission and Police Commission before seeking a zone change. The Commission also approved a 374-square-foot accessory apartment above a garage at 870 Daniels Farm Road. A separate proposed Village Residence District amendment was not decided and will continue at the April 22, 2026 meeting.
