Such use shall be permitted only on the same lot with or on an abutting lot in common ownership with the building to which it is accessory and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this bylaw.
3.2.2. 
Restrictions.
1. 
No use shall be permitted in any district as an accessory use which increases the number of dwelling units on any lot beyond that which is permitted in that district or which constitutes in effect a conversion of a permitted use to one not permitted in that district, unless a dwelling unit is permitted as an accessory dwelling unit in accordance with Section 8.2.
2. 
No accessory building shall be used as a dwelling, unless permitted in accordance with Section 8.2, or except in an Industrial District for the accommodation of a night watchman or janitor.

Boarders. The renting of rooms or the furnishing of table board by a resident family to not more than three roomers or boarders is permitted, provided that no separate cooking facilities are maintained.
3.3.1. 
Purpose. It is the intent of this subsection to permit certain home occupations with reasonable safeguards in all zoning districts. It is not intended to allow retail stores in residential neighborhoods. The Inspector of Buildings shall issue a certificate of occupancy before such residence or accessory building(s) may be used for the purpose of a home occupation. Such certificate of occupancy shall be issued for the following incidental uses in the districts where permitted upon determination that all prescribed requirements and conditions are met for the applicable category as herein described.
3.3.2. 
Permitted home occupations. Low-impact professional and customary home occupations, as defined in Section 11 of this bylaw, are permitted in the primary building or accessory building(s) except as otherwise restricted by this bylaw. If any professional or customary home occupation has more than one nonresident employee, it shall be considered a moderate-impact home occupation and shall be subject to the requirements of Section 3.3.3.
3.3.3. 
Home occupations allowed by special permit. Moderate-impact home occupations, as defined in Section 11 of this bylaw, may be permitted in the primary building or accessory building(s) by special permit from the Selectboard in accordance with Sections 3.3.4 and 10.4.
3.3.4. 
Special permit procedures. Application shall be made to the Selectboard which shall conduct a public hearing.
1. 
Site plan review by the Planning Board shall be required.

The only machinery used in the home occupation shall be powered by hand or electric motors of not more than five horsepower, or, in the case of air compressors, not more than eight horsepower.

The special permit shall authorize the home occupation for an initial period not exceeding one year. Renewal, and any subsequent renewals, of the permit may be granted by the special permit granting authority for a period not to exceed three years, upon certification by the Building Inspector that the home occupation continues to comply with this bylaw. The special permit pertains only to the specific use of the original applicant and does not transfer with the property.

1. 
The principal residence of the owner/operator of every home occupation shall be the dwelling unit on the premises in which the home occupation operates.
