Unless otherwise noted, the definitions or terms used in this section shall have the same meaning as defined in the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Government Code Section 12926 et seq. The terms listed below are illustrative of how they may be understood with respect to housing, for the purposes of this section.
DISABLED PERSON shall mean a person who has a physical or mental impairment which limits one or more major life activities or makes achievement of a major life activity difficult.
MAJOR LIFE ACTIVITY shall include physical, mental and social activities, which may include but are not limited to self care, mobility or sensory perception. A temporary condition such as a broken bone, use of crutches, etc. does not qualify as a physical or mental impairment, and thus does not qualify one as a disabled person.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION means providing flexibility in the application of land use and zoning and building regulations, policies, practices and procedures, up to waiving certain requirements, when it is necessary to construct or adapt dwelling units that are readily accessible to and usable by disabled persons.
