The Haverhill City Council will meet on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, to vote on the proposed ADU ordinance. The meeting will be held at the Theodore A. Pelosi Jr. Council Chambers and will be streamed HERE. As a reminder, the proposed Haverhill ADU ordinance would allow attached ADUs to be built by right as long as it complies with the following regulations:
Owner occupancy requirement
Two-bedroom limit
Single-meter utilities
Maximum size of 1200 square feet or 40% of the living space (whichever is less)
Minimum size of 350 square feet
One additional off-street parking spot
Minimum rental duration of 12 months
Detached ADUs built by converting existing detached accessory buildings also require a special permit, unless they are certified an Affordable Accessory Dwelling Unit by the Department of Community Development.
Haverhill town monitor Mike Morales will be in attendance and will speak in support of the ordinance.
