5/16/17
i.
A separate
process for the RRA to the Zoning Code is available if the strict application
of the Zoning Code would inhibit the use of a dwelling by a person with a
disability. Accommodations are to be
considered on an individual basis. The
PDD staff will assist an applicant in filling out the application.
ii.
If the
Request rises to the level of being a rezoning or zoning exception (a change in
use), the existing process for those requests will be followed, but the newly
created criteria for an RRA will be considered in addition to the standard criteria for a rezoning or zoning
exception.
i.
PDD staff
will assist applicants in filing out application. The form must instruct applicants on what is
required in order for the application to be complete.
ii.
Planning
Director will determine if application is complete. If not, applicant will be notified of
deficiencies in 3 days.
iii.
Time limit
of 656.125(d) (you cannot file for the same rezoning request that was denied
within 1 year) does not apply to these applications unless barred by
administrative res judicata.
i.
The
Director will make the decision based upon the application and evidence
provided. The applicant may have a
hearing, or may choose not to have a hearing.
ii.
If the
applicant chooses to have a hearing, the Director will set the hearing at least
14 days after notice has been posted, but within 30 days of receipt of the
complete application.
iii.
If the
choice is no hearing, the Director will set a date at least 14 days after
notice is posted, but within 30 days of receipt of the complete application,
that he/she will make the decision on the application.

The
Director will accept evidence regarding the RRA up to 5 business days before the
date established for the decision, or at the hearing if one takes place.
v.
A written
order on the decision will be sent within 10 days of the decision. If the decision is to deny the request, the
order will contain the basis for the decision.
i.
Whether the
applicant meets the definition of a “disabled person”;
1. Outlines what the Director can request to make
determination of “disability” such as information from a doctor or medical professional, a peer
support group, a non-medical service agency, or a reliable third party who is
in a position to know about the disability; and
2. if the request is needed because of the disability.
ii.
If the
original request is determined to be not reasonable, then whether an
alternative accommodation exists.
Added to the definition of “supportive
services” that the services are to be subordinate and ancillary to the
residential character, and that provide assistance to the resident.
