Does the Land Use Code allow secondary or accessory units?

Yes.  While the Land Use Code is not based on density, one residence is allowed per lot in general.  Up to two (2) additional residences may be allow provided there are permitted water connections for each unit, there is capability to provide adequate wastewater systems (e.g. septic), and the units are designed such that the units meet standards if the property were to be subdivided in the future (e.g. setbacks).  At least one (1.0) acre is required for each wastewater system unless a septic variance is granted by the Health Department (Environmental Health).  Development of four (4) or more units requires a Zoning Permit.
