  • Require owner occupancy for detached Accessory Dwelling Units
  • Limit yield plan (maximum number of lots) within the Water Supply Protection District
  • Remove ability to increase height allowance from 37 to 45 feet by special permit in the General Business and Highway Business districts
  • Insert floor area ratio limits (amount of allowable square footage of structures relative to the lot area) within Rural Residence A, Intown Residence, Central Business, and General Business districts
  • Change the Multi-Family Residential Development definition to allow up to 50% of the total units constructed to be single-family dwellings (increase from the current 25% cap)

The date, time and location of the Ipswich Town Meeting has not yet been set, nor has the town warrant been posted. Updates will be posted to the NSR blog.
