The “R-3-C” (Multi-Family Special Needs) zoning is specifically designed to permit
developments that accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities. As such, the ordinance
specifies that persons residing within “R-3-C” zoned areas must either qualify under the ADA
based definition of “disability” that is incorporated in the ordinance, or, must qualify as a
“support provider” for such persons (also as defined within the ordinance).
