Condo conversions in Antioch

The applicant shall offer to each eligible tenant a plan for relocation to comparable housing, as approved by the city.

Payment of a relocation fee, equal to the amount of three month's rent, to each tenant who does not choose to purchase.

Any tenant who chooses not to purchase and who is handicapped, or who has minor children in school, or is age 60 or older living in any unit prior to the time a completed tentative map application as determined by the Community Development Department shall be given an additional six months in which to find suitable replacement housing according to the timetable or schedule for relocation as approved in the conversion application.

A tenant of any project proposed for conversion on the date of application for each conversion may terminate any lease after giving 30 days' notice.

The average rental vacancy rate in comparable multiple-family units (as defined by complex and unit size, age, and amenities) within the city during the 12 months preceding the filing of the application is greater than 4.5%;

provided, that a conditional use permit may be approved where the vacancy rate for comparable units is equal to or less than 4.5% if the applicant has proposed additional measures which the City Council finds would effectively mitigate the displacement of tenants and any adverse effects upon the housing stock within the city which would be caused by the proposed conversion.
