A. Reasonable Accommodation Required. None of the requirements of this Chapter shall be interpreted to limit a reasonable accommodation when an accommodation is necessary to afford persons with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
B. Application. Any person or entity wanting a reasonable accommodation shall make application therefore to the Zoning Administrator and shall state in writing the nature of the requested accommodation and the basis for the request.
C. Decision. The Planning Commission shall render a decision on each application for a reasonable accommodation within sixty (60) days. The decision shall be based on evidence of record demonstrating all of the following:
1. The requested accommodation will not undermine the legitimate purposes of existing zoning regulations notwithstanding the benefit that the accommodation would provide to a person with a disability.
2. That but for the accommodation, one (1) or more persons with a disability will be denied an equal opportunity to enjoy housing of their choice.
3. That equal results will be achieved as between the person with a disability requesting the accommodation and a non-disabled person.
D. Appeal. Any person adversely affected by a final decision of the Zoning Administrator regarding a request for a reasonable accommodation may appeal that decision to the Hearing Officer as provided in Section 2-1-060 of this Code.
