The written decision of the City Planner to grant or deny a request for reasonable accommodation will be consistent with the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. The following findings must be analyzed, made, and adopted before any action is taken to approve or deny a request for reasonable accommodation.
(A) The housing that is subject to the request will be used by an individual with a disability, as defined under Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
(B) The request for reasonable accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual with a disability.
(C) The requested reasonable accommodation would not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the city.
(D) The requested reasonable accommodation would not require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a city program or law, including, but not limited to, land use and zoning.
(E) There are no other alternative reasonable accommodations that may provide an equivalent level of benefit at a similar cost while providing greater consistency with the city’s laws and regulations.
