Accessory dwelling unit rules in transition
Summary
The Rodman Street case shows how the town's new ADU regulations (effective February 2, 2026) can shrink the variances a project needs — here cutting the side-yard relief from 8.9 to 6.9 feet. Applicants with pending cases now have a real incentive to opt into the new rules.
