      1. Whether the housing, which is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation, will be used by a disabled person;
      2. Whether the requested accommodation is necessary to afford disabled persons equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling when compared to similarly situated persons or groups without a disability;
      3. Whether the requested accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City;
      4. Whether the requested accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's land use, zoning or building programs;
      5. Whether the requested accommodation is reasonable;
      6. Whether the request for accommodation would cause a dwelling being made available to an individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would cause substantial physical damage to the property of others; and
      7. Any other relevant considerations under Federal or State law.
   5. If a reasonable accommodation request is denied, the decision may be appealed to the Hearing Officer in the manner provided for appeals of administrative decisions in chapter 4 of this title. The review of all such appeals, including any appeals from the Hearing Officer to the District Court, shall be based upon the record presented to the ARC and shall not be de novo.
   6. A reasonable accommodation shall not be deemed a variance or to run with the land.
   7. If the ARC fails to render a written decision on the request for reasonable accommodation within the thirty (30) day time period allotted by subsection D4 of this section, the request shall be deemed denied based upon the insufficiency of the applicant's information to satisfy the criteria in subsection D4 of this section.
   8. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect.
   9. It is the applicant's burden to demonstrate that the accommodation is necessary and reasonable under the standards and definitions set forth in Federal and State law, including Federal and State case law.
