Deerfield-News.com-Deerfield Beach,Fl- Candidate for Mayor of The City of Deerfield Beach Dan Herz posted the following about a recent “Rehab Home” approved by the city. From the Facebook post by Dan Herz.
HERE is the smoking gun against the city of Deerfield Beach. This is directly from the Magistrates written ruling. (I CAPITALIZED the most damning part below) What say you, planning & zoning director Eric Power??
It is uncontested in this matter that the reasonable accommodation is being sought for others suffering from substance use disorder, which is a disability. Therefore the first element of Section 98-103(e) of the Code is easily met. Additionally, it is uncontested an accommodation to allow more than three (3) unrelated people to live together for sober living has a direct or meaningful therapeutic amelioration of the effects of Substance Use Disorder. It is further uncontested that the request for accommodation is site specific to the Subject Property for which the accommodation is requested.
THE CITY PROVIDED NO EVIDENCE OR TESTIMONY IN THIS MATTER. THEREFORE, WITH NO RECORD EVIDENCE, THE GRANTING OF A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION WOULD NOT IMPOSE AN UNDUE FINANCIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN OR FUNDAMENTALLY ALTER THE ZONING SCHEME OF THE CITY.
