Chapter 12-46 — RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS, STOCK COOPERATIVES, COMMUNITY APARTMENTS, AND…

• (a) The purpose of this chapter is to regulate the development of residential condominiums, stock cooperatives, community apartments and planned unit developments, both new construction and conversion from existing apartments, so that the residential development is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, including provisions for a healthy environment through high-quality appearance, safety and appropriate densities for condominium, stock cooperative, community apartment and planned unit developments.

• (b) The City Council has determined that residential condominiums, stock cooperatives, community apartments and planned unit developments are significantly different from rental apartment units, and for the benefit of public health, safety and welfare makes the findings that residential condominiums, stock cooperatives, community apartments and planned unit developments are to provide amenities equal to or better than single family detached developments, including, but not limited to, adequate on-site circulation and parking, private laundry facilities, enclosed storage areas, recreation facilities, open space, controlled densities, and maintenance agreements for common areas.

• (c) Therefore, in order to assure conformance with the General Plan provisions and expectations for amenities as stated in the findings set out in this section for residential condominiums, stock cooperatives, community apartments and planned unit developments, both new construction and conversion, and to provide adequate public review of projects, conditional use or planned development permit approval pursuant to Chapters 25 and 35 of this Title and tentative and final or parcel maps as provided for in Title 11 of the Municipal Code are required.
