(A) A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability or handicap, as defined in the Acts, or by an entity acting on behalf of a person or persons with disabilities or handicaps to provide or secure equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling and/or otherwise receive services or participate in programs or activities provided by the city when the application of a City of Wahoo building code, fire or safety code, zoning law or other land use regulation, policy or practice acts as a barrier to such equal opportunities. As defined in the Acts, a person with a disability or handicap is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits or substantially limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone who has a record of such impairment.
(B) A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to rules, standards and practices when such modification or exception is necessary to eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability or handicap with equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling and/or to otherwise receive services or participate in programs or activities provided by the city. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by § 99.03.
