[Massplanners] Single, Two, & Multi "Family" Uses

[Andrew Groff]

Good Morning Planners -
Have any communities out there modified their bylaws or ordinances to
remove the term "family" from use designations such as single family, two
family, and multi family to describe different dwelling unit types?
Williamstown's Planning Board is looking into replacing these terms with
more inclusive language. These terms seem to be embedded in other aspects
of state law including Ch. 40A and the State Building Code, so curious to
see how other communities might have accomplished this.

Thanks all,
Andrew Groff
