Zoning – Sober house – ‘Family’

Summary by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
Where the Fitchburg zoning board determined that a sober house was not being operated as a three-family dwelling but rather as a boarding house, that determination should be upheld because the 13 sober home residents did not meet the local definition of “family” and were treated the same as any similar group of 13 unrelated people living together in a three-unit house in the residential B district of Fitchburg.
