Andover's first zoning by-law was enacted at the March 9, 1936 Annual Town Meeting. [1] The Town of Andover's first Planning Board had been voted into law ten years earlier. [2] In 1960, Andover adopted 'cluster zoning,' the first town in Massachusetts to create special development by-laws that allowed sub-divisions of ten acres or more to create residential lots sized smaller that the required two acres and for them to have frontages that were less than the required existing laws permitted.
