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. 1 City of Northampton Massachusetts �� e s 740,: OF BUILDING INSPECTIONS 4 ' 212 Main Street • Municipal Building Northampton, MA 01060 5� 1 Kathleen Elliott 39 Florence Street Leeds, MA 01053 March 12, 2012 Dear Ms. Elliott, 1 have reviewed your zoning permit application for an accessory apartment at 39 Florence Street.
