Waltham Dinner Meeting Wed Feb 7th: ADUs: What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit and Where Can We Build Them?

event marketing picture showing zoom details, date, and speaker or topic for accessory dwelling units (adus) dinner meeting 2024-02-07 2nd wednesday

This presentation will walk us through a new members-only resource: Our Massachusetts ADU table. This table is a listing of every town and city ordinance on ADUs. We'll cover:

  • What is an accessory dwelling unit?
  • Which towns allow some kind of ADU?
  • Which towns require owner occupy vs. allow investment?
  • Do I need a special permit or zoning variance?

Attendees will leave knowing about our ADU resource as a starting point for making investment decisions and helping us to create more rental housing.

Are you a city or town official who would like to share your perspective on ADUs? Contact us for how to appear at this event.

Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
