Hi Brennan,
The information is correct and the ADU does not count towards the number of units allowed by zoning.
Sorry for the late response.
Sincerely,

Good Afternoon Voula,
I wanted to provide a quick update about the 183 North Street application. I emailed the
applicant verifying the number of units inside the house because the building is in the R2
District (so two units are allowed while three are not). He let me know the building inspector
approved an ADU in the basement, and there is one unit in the house.
From what I understand, that means the applicant is able to build an additional unit because the
ADU does not apply to the total number of units in the house. Please let me know what you
think.
Thank you,
