3.23.10 Findings
This paragraph is included in your selections.

A. In granting a reasonable accommodation request, the Board of Adjustment shall find based on competent, material, and substantial evidence, that the proposed accommodation:

1. Will be used by an individual or individuals with a disability or handicap protected under Federal law;

2. Is "reasonable." An accommodation is reasonable if it will not undermine the legitimate purposes and effects of existing zoning regulations, and if it will not impose significant financial and administrative burdens upon the city or county and/or constitute a substantial or fundamental alteration of the ordinance provisions; and

3. Is "necessary." An accommodation is necessary if it will provide direct or meaningful therapeutic amelioration of the effects of the particular disability or handicap, and it will afford handicapped or disabled persons equal opportunity to enjoy and use housing in residential districts in the city or county.

B. The Board of Adjustment shall issue a written order on a request for reasonable accommodation within 60 days of the date of the quasi-judicial decision.
