Does the Town allow “Use” Variances?
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A permits “use” variances only when authorized by a municipal Zoning Bylaw. South Hadley’s Zoning Bylaw does not make provisions for any form of “use” variances. The South Hadley Zoning Bylaw allows for some uses by Special Permit, however, this is not the same as a “use” variance. Therefore, the Town does not allow “use” variances, only dimensional variances.
