The purposes of this section are: (1) to comply with section 17-27-504 and 1727-605 of the Utah Code; and (2) establish an administrative process for the
approval of permits to operate residential facilities for elderly and disabled persons that balances the need to prevent discrimination against elderly and disabled persons in the interests which are rationally related to legitimate land-use concerns. The county commission finds these equally valid and competing interests can be best accommodated and balanced by adopting an administrative process ensuring legitimate governmental interests are protected while guarding against discrimination and providing flexibility in residential facilities for elderly and disabled persons which do not cause undue hardship, fiscal or administrative burden on the County and do not undermine the basic purposes that the land use ordinance seeks to achieve.
