BACKGROUND AND PARTIES. The parties to this Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) are the United States of America and the City of Ansonia, Connecticut. The City of Ansonia is a “public entity” within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12131(1), and is, therefore, subject to title II of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12131 et seq., and its implementing regulations, 28 C.F.R. Part 35. This matter was initiated by a complaint filed with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) pursuant to title II of the ADA. The complainant, Recovery Network of Programs, who planned to open a treatment facility for qualified individuals with substance abuse disabilities, was not permitted to open the facility by the City of Ansonia because the City’s zoning code excluded substance abuse treatment facilities from certain zones. The complainant alleges that the City refused to allow the facility on the basis of disability, in violation of the ADA. Under title II of the ADA, no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, such as the City of Ansonia, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity. 42 U.S.C. § 12132; 28 C.F.R. § 35.130. Zoning and land use decisions are services, programs, or activities of a public entity. The Department of Justice is the federal agency responsible for administering and enforcing title II of the ADA with respect to all programs, services, and regulatory activities relating to planning and development by public entities, 28 C.F.R. § 35.190. The Attorney General is authorized to bring a civil action enforcing title II of the ADA if the Department of Justice is unable to secure compliance by voluntary means. 42 U.S.C. § 12133; 28 C.F.R. Part 35, Subpart F. The United States of America and the City of Ansonia have agreed to resolve this matter as set forth below. This agreement shall not be construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the City of Ansonia.
