A.A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative or any entity, when the application of a requirement of this Zoning Ordinance or other City requirement, policy or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities. A person with a disability is a person who has a physical or developmental impairment that limits or substantially limits one or more major life activities, anyone who is regarded as having such impairment or anyone who has a record of such impairment. This article is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts.

B.A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the rules, standards and practices for the siting, development and use of housing or housing- related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice.

C.A reasonable accommodation is granted to the household that needs the accommodation and does not apply to successors in interest to the property unless specifically granted in the conditions associated with approval of a reasonable accommodation (see Section 38-229).

D.A reasonable accommodation may be granted in compliance with this article without the need for the approval of a variance.

E.Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be as described in the following section. (Ord. 3554 § 14, 2016)
