ORiINANCE NO. 1189
URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE IMPOSING
A
MORATORIUM ON APARTMENT CONVERSIONS
TO RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS
Tize CITX COUNCIL of the City of Burlingame does ORDAIN
as follows:
Section 1. D10RATORIUM UPON APARTMEiQT CONVERSIOIQ.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Burlingame Municipal
Code, no apartment house, apartment complex or other multi -unit
residential building or buildings shall be converted to condomini-
ums, cooperative apartments, or other similar living units within
the City of Burlingame.
Section 2. UP.GENCY. 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
condominiums 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 pro-
posals for such measures.
Section 3. DURATION. This ordinance is intended to be
an interim ordinance pending the adoption of ordinances establish-
ing criteria for protection of tenants and conversion of apartment;
1
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 an ordinance establishing any or all
of such measures, publishes the same, and the same shall become
effective; or (b) the City shall consider such ordinances and
finally reject the same or refuse to enact them into law; or
(3) after the expiration of 120 days from the date of adoption of
this ordinance, whichever comes first.
Section 4. This ordinance shall be published as
required by Paw.
