The second article would amend Section 3.4 by adding two additional home occupation use standards to ensure that adequate off-street parking is available and that the home occupation use is not detrimental to a residential or rural neighborhood, and the existing character of the neighborhood is preserved. The third article involves related amendments to the Athol Zoning Bylaws, Article III, Section 3.27, Adaptive Overlay District. The first set of amendments would amend Article III, Section 3.27, Adaptive Overlay District, by adding “Residential – Two-Family”, “Residential – Multi-Family up to Four Units”, and “Residential – Multi-Family over Four Units” to the list of Appropriate Uses under Section 3.27.4. The second set of amendents would amend Sectin 3.27.5, Standards, by adding a new sub-section d. that would allow for additional residential development at a density beyond what is required in the existing RB and RC zoning districts for the first unit with 4,000 sq ft. required for each additional unit.
