§ 15.26.040. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • The written decision to grant, grant with modifications, or deny a request for reasonable accommodation shall be consistent with Acts, shall, if granted, be granted to an individual and shall not run with the land (unless the Director or designee determines that much a modification is physically integrated into the residential structure and cannot easily be removed), and shall be based on consideration of the following factors:

    A.

    Whether the housing, which is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, will be used by an individual with disabilities under the Acts;

    B.

    Whether the requested accommodation is necessary to make housing available to an individual with disabilities protected under the Acts;

    C.

    Whether the requested accommodations would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City;

    D.

    Whether the requested accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's land use and zoning program and;

    E.

    Whether there are any alternative reasonable accommodations which may provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant.

    All written decisions shall give notice of the applicant's right to appeal and to request reasonable accommodations in the appeals process as set forth in Section 15.26.060.
