1018 Osgood – Accessory Use Zoning Analysis
DATE:
May 29, 2012
An analysis of the use of the term “accessory” when describing “uses” within the current Zoning Bylaw.
2.21 Accessory Use or Structure
A use or structure subordinate to the principal use of a building on the same lot and serving a
purpose customarily incidental to the use of the principal building.
4.1.1General Provisions
Accessory uses as defined herein, shall be on the same lot with the building of the owner or
occupant, and shall be such as not to alter the character of the premises on which they are
located nor impair the neighborhood.
10.31 Conditions for Approval of Special Permit
The Special Permit Granting Authority may, within the guidelines for Special Permits
contained herein, allow accessory uses whether located on the same lot as the principal use or
not, wherever necessary in connection with scientific research, scientific development or
related production provided that the Special Permit Granting Authority finds that the proposed
accessory use does not substantially derogate from the public good.
The following language is found in the list of permitted uses for every zoning district with the exception
of the Industrial 3 District. It is also found within the Downtown Overlay District Uses.
Any accessory use customarily incident to any of the above permitted uses, provided that such
accessory use shall not be injurious, noxious, or offensive to the neighborhood.
