What are the local zoning regulations for 10 Fountain St ?

RH-2 (RESIDENTIAL- HOUSE, TWO FAMILY)

In RH-2 districts are allowed one-family and two-family units or homes, with the latter commonly consisting of two large flats, one occupied by the owner and the other available for rental.

The number of residential units in the RH-2 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 2 dwelling units per lot.

Dwelling Unit: A room or suite of two or more rooms that is designed for, or is occupied by, one family doing its own cooking therein and having only one kitchen.

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): Also known as a Secondary Unit or In-Law Unit. It is accessory to at least one other Dwelling Unit on the same lot. A detached ADU should not share structural walls with the primary structure on the lot.

Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU): JADU is a secondary living space within a single-family home, limited to 500 square feet. It must have its own entrance, an efficiency kitchen, and can either share or have separate sanitation facilities. The property owner must live on-site unless a government agency, land trust, or housing organization owns the unit.

Structures in these districts are finely scaled, with building styles often more varied than in traditional single-family areas, though some streets and tracts remain fairly uniform. These areas may offer convenient access to shopping and transit, and while group housing or institutions may be present, nonresidential uses are generally limited.

The primary use of the Residential-House, Two Family zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.

Permitted Residential Use: ADU, intermediate length occupancy use, single room occupancy, student housing, homeless shelter, group housing, senior housing, and dwelling units.

Permitted Non-Residential Use: Agriculture, child care facility, passive outdoor recreation, hotel, and public facilities.
