Division 9 — CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS

A condominium conversion requires the approval of a tentative and Final Map, or a parcel map, unless the exemptions specified in Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 66412(g) and (h) apply, or unless the city waives the requirement for conversion of a mobile home park to resident ownership pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 66428.1. (Ord. 1102, passed 6-7-04)

(A) Filing a condominium conversion application is the same as that established for a tentative tract map with the following exceptions and additional requirements:

(1) The tentative map for a condominium conversion project need not show the buildings or the manner in which the buildings or the airspace above the property are to be divided. However, the city may require that an exhibit be provided showing the manner in which buildings are to be arranged on the property.

(2) Addresses of all tenants of the property proposed for conversion must be provided with other required notice materials. Also, the subdivider must provide the city with notarized verification of provision of the Notice of Intent to Convert required by Cal. Gov't Code §§ 66452.8 and 66452.9.

(3) Pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 66427.4, if a mobile home park is proposed for conversion, the applicant must submit a report on the impact of the conversion upon the displaced residents of the mobile home park. Such report must be prepared in accordance with Cal. Gov't Code §§ 66427.4 and 66427.5.

(4) Pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 66452.10, if the proposed condominium conversion project involves a stock cooperative or community apartment project, the applicant must submit notarized verification of the vote.

(B) The processing of a condominium conversion project is the same as that established for a tentative tract map except that, pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 66451.3, notice of the public hearing must be provided to all tenants of the subject property.

(C) In acting to approve a condominium conversion project, the Planning Commission and/or the City Council must make the same findings as for a tentative map and the additional findings set forth in Cal. Gov't Code § 66427.1. (D) A condominium conversion project must also comply with Chapter 16.85 - Condominiums and Conversions. (Ord. 1102, passed 6-7-04; Am. Ord. 1169, passed 2-5-07)

Filing of Final Map or parcel map is required for completion of the condominium conversion project, except when waived for a mobile home park.
