IMPOSING MORITORIUM UPON APARTMENT
CONVERSIONS TO RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS
The CITY COUIQCIL of the City o£ Burlingame does ORDAIN
as follows:
Section 1. EXTENSIOTd OF MORITORIUDi UPON APARTMENT
CONVERSIONS. Ordinance 1139, adopted November 3, 1980, which
ordinance prohibited the conversion of apartments and other multi-
unit residential buildings to condominiums, shall be extended
beyond its expiration date for the duration set forth in Section
3 hereof.
Section 2. URGEAlCY. It is hereby declared that this
ordinance is an ordinance for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, safety, health and welfare and is an urgency ordi-
nance as provided by law and shall take effect upon its adoption.
Facts constituting such urgency are as follows: Current
ordinances allow the conversion of apartment buildings to condo-
miniums with only building code and similar limitations. It
appears that protections for existing tenants as well as limita-
tions upon the numbers or types of apartments which may be con-
verted may be necessary to protect those existing tenants as well
as the housing stock within the City of Burlingame. It is there-
fore necessary that the conversion of apartments to condominiums
be prohibited during the period of study and formation of proposal;
for such measures. It is also necessary that the existing urgency
ordinance be extended to allow further study and consideration of
such measures.
Section 3. DURATION. This ordinances is intended to
extend an interim ordinance pending the adoption of ordinances
1
establishing criteria for protection of tenants and conversion of
apartments to condominiums. Unless it is extended, it shall
automatically cease to have force and effect without specific
repeal when either (1) the City Council enacts ani ordinance
establishing any or all of such measures, publishes the same, and
the same shall become effective; or (2) the City shall consider
such ordinances and finally reject the same or refuse to enact
them into law; or (3) after the expiration of ninety (90) days
from the original date of expiration of Ordinance 1189, to wit,
June 1, 1981, whichever comes first.
