[Massplanners] Zoning amendments for 2-family houses etc.

[Burke, Russell]

The Town of Groton allows two family dwellings by right in all residential districts by right  “provided that its external appearance is not significantly different from a single family dwelling”.

Bedford would be interested in hearing from any towns that have amended their zoning to make it easier to build 2-family houses in traditionally (or most recently) single family districts. This might mean allowing them where they've been prohibited or reducing the restrictions/ conditions that apply. The only one I'm aware of is Concord.
Also we're interested in examples of towns that have reverted to earlier denser zoning for residential areas that have mainly non-conforming lots.
