Sec. 8-9.102.   Applicability.
   (a)   A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability or their representative, when the application of a requirement of this zoning code or other County requirement, policy, or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities. For the purposes of this chapter, a “person with a disability” is any person who has a physical, developmental, 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. This chapter is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts.
   (b)   A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the rules, standards, and practices for the siting, development, and use of housing or housing-related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice.
   (c)   A reasonable accommodation is granted only to the household that needs the accommodation and does not apply to successors in interest to the site.
   (d)   A reasonable accommodation may be granted in compliance with this chapter without the need for the approval of a variance.
