<br />Zoning Bulletin <br /> <br />ported by the weight of the evidence in the record, and MHA's <br />allegations were not. <br />The appeals court noted that M.HA did not present its applica- <br />tion to the board as one that would provide accommodations for <br />handicapped residents, but it stressed, rather, that it was primar- <br />ily an affordable housing project. Further, MHA did not include <br />evidence in its application that established that there was a need <br />for such accommodations, so the board acted reasonably when it <br />based its decision on affordable housing projects generally. <br />There was a precedent mandating that parties challenging a <br />land use decision pertaining to reasonable accommodations for <br />the handicapped had to present all of its evidence with regard to <br />the need for accommodations to the administrative zoning board. <br />This facilitated a court's review of challenged land use decisions <br />related to accommodations, because a court was limited in its re- <br />view to the administrative record. <br />Here, MHA could hot show that it had made a reasonable re- <br />quest for accommodations that was denied, so its discrit-nination <br />claims failed. Despite the fact that the lower court had allowed <br />MHA to present additional evidence at trial to support its claim, <br />that evidence was unconvincing. <br />The decision of the lower court was affirmed. <br /> <br />See also: Lapid-Laurel, L.L.c. v.
