Division 7. Reasonable Accommodations |
§ 24-236. Applicability.
A.
Eligible Applicants. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative, or any entity, when the application of the Zoning Ordinance or other land use regulation, policy, or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities.
B.
Definition. A "person with a disability" as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits or substantially limits one (1) or more major life activities, anyone who is regarded as having this type of impairment, or anyone who has a record of this type of impairment.
C.
Eligible Requests. 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 under the Zoning Ordinance that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice.
