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.
