Sandwich draws a distinction between “Accessory Dwelling Units” and “Accessory Apartments” and provide different rules for each.
Provincetown, MA
Provincetown allows property owners to build new attached and detached dwelling units by right in all zoning districts except S (Seashore) and M (Public Use) districts.
Orleans, MA
Orleans currently has restrictive rules associated with adding an ADU to a single family lot. The town does not allow additions or new construction unless it will have a minimal impact on the existing footprint of the existing structures.
Eastham, MA
Eastham loves ADUs and thinks they can help them ease their housing crisis. As with many towns in the Cape they allow all kinds of ADUs by right!
