<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also we're interested in examples of towns that have reverted to earlier denser zoning for residential areas that have mainly non-conforming lots.<o:p></o:p></p>
