I think we need to distinguish per se rules against accessory dwellings from density limits. Many people have lots that are twice the minimum lot size in a given neighborhood; allowing them an accessory dwelling might be less disruptive to a neighborhood than subdivision which is alliowed anyway.

Another small step would be conditional zoning for a narrow set of special exceptions, such as a residential unit for aging parents, disabled children, etc. As properties change hands, new owners would not be subject to the same restrictions.
