A. Definition of disability. This Chapter is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts. Under the Acts, an individual with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone with a record of such impairment.

B. Eligibility to request accommodation. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, his or her representative, or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with disabilities, when the application of a zoning law or other land use regulation, policy, or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities.

C. Scope of accommodation. 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 his or her choice. Any modification based on this Chapter is a personal accommodation and shall not run with the land. A request for reasonable accommodation is subject to the applicant’s compliance with all other applicable regulations. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed in Section 19.74.030. (Ord. 2014-3 § 11, 2014.)
