The general requirements and regulations set forth in this title shall be subject to the specific modifications, allowable waivers, and interpretation set forth in this chapter. This chapter is intended to provide an alternate means of granting relief from the requirements of this title for minor deviations from dimensional and objective zoning and design standards when so doing would be consistent with the purposes of this title and it is not possible to grant a variance. Further to this end, it is the policy of the town to comply with the federal Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act to provide reasonable accommodation for protected uses and for persons with disabilities seeking fair access to housing through a waiver of the application of the town's zoning regulations. This chapter authorizes the Planning Director to grant administrative relief from the dimensional requirements in this title to achieve these objectives.
