Purpose: The purpose of this Section 4.06(3) is to provide a procedure to request reasonable accommodation from the strict application of the regulations of this Zoning Ordinance for persons seeking equal access to housing under the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3602(h)(1), as may be amended ("FHA"), and who have disabilities or handicaps as defined by the FHA.

Applicability: A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability or handicap, as defined by the FHA, 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 housing within the Village when the normal application of this Zoning Ordinance would act as a barrier to such equal opportunities. A request for reasonable accommodation may consist of either: (i) a request to locate and operate a community residence in a residential district of the Village; or (ii) a request for a modification or exception to the regulations of this Zoning Ordinance 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 housing in the Village. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by Section 4.06(3)(c) of this Zoning Ordinance.

Application requirements:

Recommendation: Upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals shall recommend granting, granting with modifications, or denying the request for reasonable accommodation in accordance with Section 4.06(3)(h) of this Zoning Ordinance. The failure of the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals to act within 90 days after receipt of the application, or such further time to which the applicant may agree, shall be deemed to be a recommendation of the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals to deny the requested reasonable accommodation.

The failure of the Board of Trustees to act within the time period specified in this Section 4.06(3)(g), or such further time to which the applicant may agree, shall be deemed to be a decision of the Board of Trustees denying the proposed reasonable accommodation. Approval of a reasonable accommodation shall not entitle the applicant to any other approval or issuance of any permit until after all of the standards and procedures for such other approval or issuance of a permit have been satisfied.

Considerations: In making a determination regarding the reasonableness of a requested accommodation, the following factors shall be considered:

Prerequisite for community residences: The Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals shall not recommend approval of, and the Village Board shall not approve, a request for a reasonable accommodation for a community residence unless either:
