SECTION 65858 AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE PROHIBITING
CONVERSIONS OF APARTMENT HOUSES AND DUPLEXES TO
CONDOMINIUM OR COMMUNITY APARTMENT FORM OF OWNERSHIP.
WHEREAS, it has been brought to the attention of the City Council that
there is a renewed and growing interest in the conversion of existing duplexes
and apartment house buildings to condominium ownership; and,
WHEREAS, the "condominium" concept, as it has evolved, is clearly
applicable to larger projects where space relationships, useable open areas,
and maintenance can be effectively arranged and managed, the design of such
projects being distinctly unique and capable of assuring special design ameni-
ties that are not found in small apartments and duplexes; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it desirable and necessary to temporarily
halt any further conversions to condominiums pending study and adoption of
policy guidelines and appropriate general and/or specific plans; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council intends to adopt general and/or specific plans
governing subject conversions throughout the City as soon as is convenient,
and directs the Planning Commission of this City to commence studies and pro-
cedures necessary for the adoption of such plans;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that conversion of any existing apartment
house or duplex located in the City of National City to condominium or community
apartment form of ownership is prohibited;
BE IT ORDAINED that this ordinance is adopted as an interim ordinance
as an emergency measure for the reasons set forth above, and for a period of
four months from the date of adoption (unless extended pursuant to Government
Code Section 65858).
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21st day in March, 1978.
