RECOMMENDING THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL APPROVE ZONING TEXT
AMENDMENT ZTA25-0001 AMENDING THE TOWN’S REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, The Town of Danville has initiated a Zoning Text Amendment ZTA25-01 to
amend Section 32-71 of the Danville Municipal Code related to Reasonable
Accommodation; and
WHEREAS, Reasonable Accommodation means providing individuals with disabilities
flexibility in the application of land use, zoning, and building regulations, policies,
practices and procedures, or the waiving certain requirements when it is necessary to
eliminate barriers to housing opportunities; and
WHEREAS, Policy 7.1.Q of Appendix G of the Town’s 2023-2031 Housing Element states
that “In order to further streamline the reasonable accommodation process, the Town will
amend the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance to provide for ministerial rather than
administrative review process. With these changes, reasonable accommodation requests
will be reviewed at a staff level only, with no public notification.”; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments would allow reasonable accommodation
requests to be approved by the Town ministerially upon the making of established
findings; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did review the Zoning Text Amendment request
at a noticed public hearing on January 28, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Text Amendment is statutorily exempt from CEQA and no
significant environmental impacts are expected to be associated with the adoption of this
ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the public notice of this action was given in all respects as required by law;
and
WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission
recommend the Town Council approve the request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all reports,
recommendations, and testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing;
now, therefore, be it
