A. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

1. There is a need to protect tenants from evictions deriving from incentives to convert rental housing
stock, including tenancies in common with rentals, to condominiums.

2. There should be a reasonable balance in the availability of rental and ownership housing in the City, and
opportunities for individual choice in the tenure, type, cost and location of housing.

3. The City of Berkeley encourages intentional community formation integrated with home ownership
opportunities and forms that reduce personal financial and legal risk.

4. The City of Berkeley discourages tenancies in common (TICs) as a less desirable form of home ownership
because this form of ownership may be less separable while carrying greater financial and legal risks, despite
initial costs appearing more affordable than condominiums, community apartments and stock cooperatives.

5. The City of Berkeley should provide a transparent process to facilitate conversion of rental and TIC units
to condominiums, community apartments and stock cooperatives.

6. The conversion of rental units to condominium ownership reduces the stock of affordable rental units in
Berkeley.

7. To mitigate loss of affordable rental housing resulting from conversion, the City of Berkeley will apply an
affordable housing mitigation fee whose revenues accrue directly to the City’s Housing Trust Fund Program to
construct, rehabilitate, or acquire permanently affordable rental housing in Berkeley, and to operate the
program.

B. This chapter is intended to implement the following policies, and shall be interpreted in the manner that best serves these policies:

1. To take actions to protect tenants from large rent increases, arbitrary evictions, hardship from relocation, and the loss of their homes (Housing Element Policy H-3).

2. To preserve existing rental housing by limiting through regulation the subdivision of land for the purpose of converting rental properties to condominiums (Housing Element Policy H-7).

3. To prevent blight and deterioration of housing units resulting from deferred maintenance (Housing Element Policy H-11).

4. To encourage eviction prevention and fair and accessible housing (Housing Element Policy H-32).

C. The City makes the following findings related to the affordable housing mitigation fee imposed by this chapter:

1. A housing shortage exists which is inconsistent with the purposes of this chapter, and with the adopted goals and policies of the City as set forth in the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan.

2. Conversions permitted by this chapter will diminish the supply of rental housing affordable to low- income households, thereby creating undue hardships for low-income residents displaced by conversion, and will otherwise adversely affect the availability and cost of housing affordable to low-income families throughout the City.

   3. An affordable housing mitigation fee imposed on conversions of existing residential rental units into condominiums (as defined in Section 1350 of the Civil Code and Sections 11004 and 11003.2 of the Business and Professions Code, respectively) will be used to mitigate reduction of the rental housing supply by funding preservation and development of permanently affordable housing for low-income persons in Berkeley.

   4. The City Council further finds that the cost estimates regarding the amount of loss of affordability contained in the council report submitted to the City Council on November 10, 1992, and discussed at the hearing on this matter on November 10, 1992, as modified and reduced in March 1997, are reasonable, and the fees expected to be generated by the conversions envisioned herein will not exceed the total amount of these costs. The City of Berkeley shall maintain on file the detailed formulas and calculations that the City has made of this mitigation impact and its offsetting actions and fees contained herein and this document shall be made available upon request.

   5. The City Council would not permit conversion of rental property to condominiums or cooperatives, but for the provision that the adverse effects of such conversions on low-income households will be mitigated by the affordable housing fee described herein.

D. The City Manager shall provide an annual report to the City Council no later than November of each year, which includes an assessment of the condominium conversion program, including, but not limited to, the number of condominium conversion applications received, the number of condominium conversions approved, the number and type of converted units sold, the amount and type of affordable housing mitigation fees received, and any recommendations for changes to this chapter. (Ord. 7070-NS § 1, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

units, these units must continue to be owned in a single parcel or right of exclusive occupancy. (Ord. 7070-NS
§ 3, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

Corrections required.

A. A person who wishes to apply for a tentative map or parcel map to convert to condominiums may request a determination as to whether any building to be converted complies with applicable local laws on the form required by the City.

C. Determinations under this section shall state what work must be corrected prior to recordation of a final map, what actions, if any, must be taken in order to bring the property into compliance, and shall require full disclosure of all remaining violations, including unpermitted work, to the homeowners’ association and all purchasers of each unit to be created. The disclosure must also be recorded with the County and may not be removed until the City confirms that all violations have been corrected.

D. Only the following types of violations must be corrected prior to recordation of the final map:

1. Violations of the Zoning Ordinance that result in the creation of new units or the addition of 100 square
feet or more of habitable space on the property; and

major systems, such as plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, or Health and Safety Code Section
17920.3, to the extent that they are likely to endanger the occupants or the public.

E. A determination under this section shall not constitute approval of any work that was done without a permit or any other violation of any applicable code or ordinance or preclude the City from requiring correction of identified violations subsequent to recordation of a final subdivision map, and shall not preclude the City from requiring additional corrective action if additional noncomplying conditions are discovered. (Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

termination;

(d) By the tenant household vacating the property and subsequently bringing an action for constructive
or wrongful eviction that is pending at the time the application to convert is filed, or that resulted in a

I. Proof that a conspicuous notice has been posted on the property in a location that is readily visible from the street on which the structure has its major frontage. Such notice shall be in a form specified by the Zoning Officer.

J. Applications to convert shall be processed as set forth in Chapter 21.16, 21.18 or 21.24, as applicable.

K. Any application that includes a false statement under penalty of perjury may be denied upon discovery of such false statement. (Ord. 7070-NS § 4, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

A. Except as provided in Section 21.28.080, any conversion of other types of housing units to condominium units pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to the payment of an affordable housing mitigation fee, unless otherwise exempted. The purpose of the fee is to mitigate the loss of affordability that results from the conversion of rental units to condominium units. The formula for calculating this nexus-based mitigation fee is as follows:

1. The costs of occupying a unit as a condominium will be determined by adding monthly mortgage
payments, taxes, and homeowners’ association fees, and multiplying the sum by 12. Mortgage payments will
be the current average fixed rate 30-year mortgage as reported by the Federal Housing Administration
applied to 95% of the purchase price.

2. Rental costs shall be the current rent of the unit at the time of filing an application for conversion under
this chapter, also multiplied by 12. If the unit is owner-occupied or has not been rented within the previous 12
months, the rental costs shall be the monthly rental rate for comparable recently rented dwelling units within
a reasonable radius of the property. “Comparable units” are as defined in California Civil Code Section
1954.51(a).

3. The difference between the condominium ownership costs of the unit less the rental costs shall then be
divided by the current fixed mortgage rate as set by the Federal Housing Administration to determine this fee.

B. In the event a converted unit is sold, the affordable housing mitigation fee under this chapter shall be based on the actual sale price. If the sale price is questioned by the City as being unreasonably low, based on comparable sales or other similar evidence, it must be supported by a credible appraisal performed by a Certified Residential Appraiser (AR) licensed by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers. If the appraisal is within 10 percent of the actual sales price, the cost of the appraisal shall be deducted from the total mitigation fee amount owed to the City.

C. All of the sums collected pursuant to this chapter shall be apportioned as follows:

1. Not more than 10% of revenues shall be used for Housing Trust Fund program delivery.

2. Not more than 10% of revenues shall be used for Housing Trust Fund program and project monitoring and enforcement.

3. Not less than 80% of revenues shall be placed into the City of Berkeley Housing Trust Fund to finance activities described as eligible in the City of Berkeley Housing Trust Fund Program Guidelines.

D. A fee agreement, in a form specified by the City, indicating the formula by which the affordable housing mitigation fee shall be calculated and which implements the requirements of this chapter shall be executed and recorded with the County Recorder on the date of conversion. Such agreement shall be supplemented by a promissory note and deed of trust in favor of the City in an amount equal to the estimated affordable housing mitigation fee for each converting unit. The City shall agree to subordinate the deed of trust for purposes of refinancing property as long as doing so will not in its reasonable judgment impair the adequacy of its security. Upon full payment to the City of the fee for any unit(s) or for the entire property, the City shall record a release of the promissory note and deed of trust with the County Recorder, against any unit(s) for which the fee was paid. (Ord. 7070-NS § 5, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

A. Existing inclusionary units created pursuant to Chapter 23C.12 shall be exempt from any affordable housing fee.

B. Rent Limitation Fee Reduction. The affordable housing fee shall be reduced as set forth in this chapter if the owner converting the property has agreed as part of the application to limit future rent increases for the life of the property for any resident tenants at the time of conversion to no more than 65% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Bay Area Consumers.

1. If the property contains two units, the affordable housing mitigation fee for each unit shall be capped at
4 percent of the sales price of the unit.

2. If the property contains three or more units, the affordable housing mitigation fee for each unit shall be
capped at 8 percent of the sales price of the unit.

C. If the property contains three or more units, the affordable housing mitigation fee for a unit that is occupied by an owner as their principal place of residence for at least 5 consecutive years immediately prior to the date of sale, including as a tenant in that unit immediately prior to ownership, shall be reduced by 50 percent, but only if the owner owned and resided in the unit as of June 30, 2010.

D. In addition to any other fee reductions under this section, the affordable housing mitigation fee for a unit shall be reduced by 25 percent when it is paid no later than the date of conversion. In such cases, the sale price of the unit shall be deemed to be the appraised value as determined by a Certified Residential Appraiser licensed by the California Office of Real Estate Appraisers.

E. Applicants with applications pending before the City as of March 24, 2009, may elect to pay the affordable housing mitigation fee pursuant to this chapter in effect as of March 24, 2009, or as it was between August 16, 2007, and March 23, 2009, so long as the City has taken final action approving a parcel map or final subdivision map no later than December 31, 2012. (Ord. 7070-NS § 6, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

A. The Planning Commission or City Manager or their designee shall not approve an application to convert to condominiums unless the Commission or City Manager or their designee finds that all the provisions of this chapter are met.

B. An application to convert to condominiums shall be denied if:

1. Within the immediately preceding 10 years:

(a) Any owner of the building has filed with the City of Berkeley a statement of intent to go out of the
rental business; or

(b) Any owner has initiated proceedings to recover possession of any unit at the property pursuant to
Section 13.76.130.A.8 or 9 of this Code;

2. Within the immediately preceding 5 years any owner has initiated proceedings to recover possession of
any unit at the property pursuant to Section 13.76.130.A.8 or 9 of this Code, if such proceedings were initiated
prior to October 27, 2005;

3. Within the immediately preceding 5 years a vacancy has been created by the termination of a tenancy:

(a) Within one year after the service by the owner of a termination of tenancy notice pursuant to either
Civil Code Section 1946 or Civil Code Section 1946.1; or

(b) Within one year after a change in the terms of the tenancy noticed pursuant to Civil Code Section
827, including the owner’s termination or nonrenewal of a contract or recorded agreement with a
governmental agency that provides for a rent limitation to a qualified tenant; or

(c) By the tenant being constructively evicted because the unit had been cited in an inspection report
as containing serious health, safety, fire, or building code violations that were not caused by the tenant
beyond normal wear and tear and one or more of the violations had not been abated by the date of the
termination; or

(d) By the tenant household vacating the property and subsequently bringing an action for constructive
or wrongful eviction that is pending at the time the application to convert is filed, or that resulted in a
judgment for the plaintiff; or

(e) As the result of a rent increase greater than 10% of the prior rent in effect but for which the tenant
would not have vacated the unit, unless that rent increase was approved by the Rent Stabilization Board.

C. The Planning Commission or City Manager or their designee shall impose the following conditions on any application to convert rental units:

1. The owner shall complete all the remedial actions and provide all the disclosures set forth in the determination as to whether the building complies with applicable local laws that was submitted with application.

2. The owner shall notify each resident tenant in writing when the ERP period starts for the unit they occupy by serving a copy of an ERP on each tenant. The owner shall provide a copy of this notice with proof of service on all tenants and to the City at the same time. No ERP period may start to run prior to the City’s approval of a final or parcel map for the property, regardless of when an ERP is provided to a tenant. The ERP shall include but not be limited to a good faith sale price and terms of sale for the unit occupied by the resident tenant, which may include an inflation/deflation factor. The ERP shall also state that the resident tenant may voluntarily waive the ERP in writing at any time during the ERP period, and that the tenant may wish to consult with the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board before choosing to waive this right, and shall provide contact information to the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board. No waiver of a resident tenant’s ERP is valid unless executed after the tenant’s receipt of the notice of ERP from the owner. An ERP may not be waived within 30 days after it is received, and any such waiver during that period shall be invalid, except that a tenant may waive an ERP at any time by voluntarily vacating their unit.

   3. The owner shall satisfy the affordable housing fee requirements by paying the fee, or having recorded documents in a form required by the City, indicating the indebtedness to the City and a willingness to pay at time of transfer as defined therein. For purposes of this chapter, reconveyance of a unit from tenancy in common ownership to the individual member of the tenancy in common who occupies that unit shall not be a transfer that triggers an obligation to pay any affordable housing mitigation fee required by this chapter. Subsequent conveyance by the individual member of the tenancy in common shall trigger the obligation to pay an affordable housing mitigation fee required by this chapter.

   4. No tenant may be evicted for the purpose of occupancy by the owner, or occupancy by any relative of the owner, so long as the unit remains the tenant’s principal place of residence. In the event the tenant does not exercise their right to purchase within the time period set forth in this section, the owner may transfer the unit without any price restriction to the tenant or any other person. However, in the event such transfer is to someone other than the tenant, the transfer shall be expressly made subject to the rights of the tenant to continue to occupy the unit as provided for in this chapter.

   5. The owner may not opt out of any contract or recorded agreement with a governmental agency that provides for a rent subsidy to any qualified tenant for 2 years from the date the application is approved, except for cause as defined in 24 CFR 982.310 (except (d)(iii) and (d)(iv) thereof), unless the program under which the subsidy is provided terminates.

3. Where improvements are required as conditions of approval of the tentative map or parcel map or by City ordinance, any required improvement plan submitted pursuant to Chapter 21.44 shall include an analysis of potential harmful impacts on tenants of the repair and alteration process due to noise, blocked access, temporary displacement, increased rents, or other harms, and a plan for mitigation of harmful impacts.

   7. Where the owner proposes or intends to make improvements other than pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the owner shall submit to the Planning Commission an analysis of potential harmful impacts on tenants of the repair and alteration process due to noise, blocked access, temporary displacement, increased rents, or other harms, and a plan for mitigation of harmful impacts.

   8. The owner shall provide all prospective buyers with a report on the seismic safety of the property.

D. In addition to the foregoing, the Planning Commission or City Manager or their designee shall not permit a map to issue as to the conversion of rental units in a property with inclusionary units unless the inclusionary provisions for sale properties are applied to the inclusionary rental units. Where the property received a density bonus or other public subsidy in return for providing below-market-rate units, the below-market-rate for-sale units shall meet the level of affordability required of the units in order to qualify for the density bonus or other subsidy. (Ord. 7070-NS § 7, 2009; Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

A. It shall be unlawful to offer for sale, to offer to purchase, to agree to sell or buy, to sell or buy, or to assist in the sale or purchase of any condominium, community apartment or stock cooperative if the creation of such condominium or other form of ownership fails to comply with any provision of this chapter or the claimed compliance was procured by fraud, misrepresentation, threat or payment of sums of money not authorized by this chapter. Any such transaction is hereby declared to be contrary to public policy, and null and void.

B. All appraisals under this chapter shall be performed by a qualified appraiser hired by the City at the applicant’s expense. If the applicant desires to dispute an appraisal, the City and the applicant shall select another qualified appraiser to determine the appraisal, with the City and the applicant sharing equally in the cost. However, nothing in this section precludes the City and the applicant from agreeing based on the sales prices of comparable properties, in lieu of an appraisal. (Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)

A. The City Attorney may bring an action on behalf of the City of Berkeley seeking injunctive relief to restrain or enjoin any violation of this chapter. In any such action all relief which may redress violation of this chapter may be awarded including but not limited to an order to make whole any individuals aggrieved by such violation.

B. Any resident of the City of Berkeley may bring an action seeking injunctive relief to restrain or enjoin any violation of this chapter, damages and penalties.

C. In any action brought under this section, the court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees to any prevailing plaintiff, including the City, and any consequential damages to any person, including the City, injured by violation of this ordinance. In addition, in any such action a civil penalty in the amount of up to ten thousand dollars for each unit sold or offered for sale in violation of this chapter shall be assessed against any seller, and against any person who assists a seller, including any real estate broker, who knowingly violates the provisions of this chapter.

D. The remedies provided by this section shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law. (Ord. 7025-NS § 1, 2008)
