Sec. C12-13. Condominium project or community apartment projects.

(a) Maps need not show the buildings or the manner in which the buildings or the airspace above the property shown on the map are to be divided, nor shall the County have the right to refuse approval of a parcel, tentative or final map of such a project on account of design or location of buildings on the property shown on the map not violative of local ordinances or on account of the manner in which airspace is to be divided in conveying the condominium. Fees and lot design requirements shall be computed and imposed with respect to such maps on the basis of parcels or lots of the surface of the land shown thereon as included in the project. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the power of the legislative body to regulate the design or location of buildings in such a project by or pursuant to local ordinances.

(b) Conversions. The Board shall not approve a final map for a subdivision to be created from the conversion of residential real property into a condominium project or a community apartment project unless it finds both that:

(1) Each of the tenants of the proposed condominium or community apartment house project has been or will be given 120 days' written notice of intention to convert prior to termination of tenancy due to the conversion or proposed conversion. The provisions hereof shall not alter or abridge the rights or obligations of the parties in performance of their covenants, including, but not limited to the provisions of services, payment of rent or the obligations imposed by Civil Code §§ 1941, 1941.1 and 1941.2; and

(2) Each of the tenants of the proposed condominium or community apartment house project has been or will be given notice of an exclusive right to contract for the purchase of their respective units upon the same terms and conditions that such units will be initially offered to the general public or terms more favorable to the tenant. The right shall run for a period of not less than 60 days from the date of issuance of the subdivision public report pursuant to Business and Professions Code § 11018.2, unless the tenant gives prior written notice of his intention not to exercise the right.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.35, § 4, 3-13-78)
