SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TITLE 2 CITY MANAGER X2.5.305: APPLICABILITY. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, his/her rep- resentative or any entity, when the application of a zoning law or other land use regulation, policy or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities. A person with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits or substantially limits one or more major life activi- ties, anyone who is regarded as having such impairment or anyone who has a record of such im- pairment. This Article is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts. A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the riles, 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 his/her choice. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be made in the manner prescribed by §2.5.310 (Application Requirements) and shall be made to the City's ADA Coordina- tor. X2.5.310: APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS. (a) Application. Requests for reasonable accommodation shall be submitted on an application form provided by the ADA Coordinator and shall include the following information: (1) The applicant's name, address and telephone number. (2) Address of the property for which the request is being made. (3) The current actual use of the property. (4) The basis for the claim that the individual is considered disabled under the Acts. (5) The zoning code provision, regulation or policy from which reasonable accommoda- tion is being requested. (6) Why the reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific property ac- cessible to the individual. (b) Review with Other Land Use Applications. If the project for which the request for rea- sonable accommodation is being made also requires some other discretionary approval (in- cluding but not limited to; conditional use permit, design review, general plan amendment, zone change, annexation, etc.), then the applicant shall file the information required by Sub- section (a)together for concurrent review with the application for discretionary approval. §2.5.315: REVIEW AUTHORITY.
