610.01: PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY:

Porterville Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-09 · Porterville

This article establishes a process for making and acting upon requests for reasonable accommodation to provide an alternate means of granting relief from this chapter's requirements when so doing would be consistent with this chapter's objectives. It is the policy of the city to comply with the federal fair housing act, the Americans with disabilities act and the California fair employment and housing act to provide reasonable accommodation by modifying the application of its zoning and subdivision regulations for persons with disabilities seeking fair access to housing. This article authorizes the zoning administrator to grant administrative relief from this chapter's dimensional requirements to achieve these and other objectives and also allows the city council to grant adjustments when necessary to accommodate uses protected by state or federal law. (Ord. 1801, 12-3-2013)
