Northampton Zoning Ordinance, 350-10.10 Accessory Apartments
An accessory apartment, or in-law apartment, is a self-contained housing unit incorporated within a single-
family dwelling (not within accessory structures, except with a special permit) that is a subordinate part of
the single-family dwelling and complies with the criteria below.
A. The intent of permitting accessory apartments is to:
(1) Provide older homeowners with a means of obtaining rental income, companionship, security and
services, and thereby to enable them to stay more comfortably in homes and neighborhoods they might
otherwise be forced to leave;
(2) Add moderately priced rental units to the housing stock to meet the needs of smaller households and
make housing units available to moderate-income households who might otherwise have difficulty finding
housing;
(3) Develop housing units in single-family neighborhoods that are appropriate for households at a variety of
stages in their life cycle;
(4) Protect stability, property values, and the single-family residential character of a neighborhood by
ensuring that accessory apartments are installed only in owner-occupied houses;
(5) To provide housing units for persons with disabilities.
B. The Building Commissioner may issue a zoning permit authorizing the installation and use of an
accessory apartment within an existing or new owner-occupied, single-family dwelling and the Zoning Board
of Appeals may issue a special permit authorizing the installation and use of an accessory apartment in a
detached structure on a single-family home lot only when the following conditions are met:
(1) The apartment will be a complete, separate housekeeping unit containing both kitchen and bath.
(2) Only one accessory apartment may be created within a single-family house or house lot.
(3) The owner(s) of the residence in which the accessory unit is created must continue to occupy at least
one of the dwelling units as their primary residence. The zoning permit or special permit for the accessory
apartment automatically lapses if the owner no longer occupies one of the dwelling units.
(4) Any new outside entrance to serve an accessory apartment shall be located on the side or in the rear of
the building.
(5) The gross floor area of an accessory apartment (including any additions) shall not be greater than 900
square feet.
(6) Once an accessory apartment has been added to a single-family residence or lot, the accessory
apartment shall never be enlarged beyond the 900 square feet allowed by this chapter.
(7) An accessory apartment may not be occupied by more than three people.
(8) Three off-street parking spaces must be available for use by the owner-occupant(s) and tenants.
(9) The design and room sizes of the apartment must conform to all applicable standards in the health,
building, and other codes.

SUBJECT: OBTAIN PERMIT TO BUILT: ACCESSORY APARTMENTS -
(2 OR 1 Apartment)
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
Hello. My name is Frank Patel. I own & reside at 552 BURTS PIT ROAD,
Florence, MA 01062.
I am writing this letter to request for Permit to built Accessory Apartments (either
2 or 1) as per zoning requirements.
I have attached the current Site Plan with square foot distances from all sides.
The Lot Size is 40946sf(0.94 Acre).
My current house - living Area is only 1700sf which is using only 4 % of the Total
Land.
This Property Lot is located in the Corner of the intersection of Florence Road &
Burts Pit Road which can also allow another entrance from Florence Road.
The purpose to build accessory apartments is to make housing units available to
moderate-income households who might have difficulty finding housing.
I would appreciate if you could please let me know if the Permit for Accessory
Apartments would be available for this site.
I appreciate your help & time.
Have a good day
Sincerely,
Frank Patel
