Hagaman, Planning Director SUBJECT: Conversion to Condominium Conditions Recently the City Council adopted a moratorium on condominium conversions and directed staff to prepare standards for development of condominiums and for condominium conversions. The first draft of this ordinance amendment has been completed and reviewed by the interested departments. The final staff version is presently being prepared for Planning Commission hearing. At your last meeting City Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an exception to the moratorium for duplexes in the R-2 zone as per staff recommendation. In drafting this exception staff is suggesting that conversion of duplexes are permitted provided certain conditions are met. These conditions are based on the draft condominium ordinance now being prepared by staff, and are contained Supplement 1). in the agenda bill face, (Agenda Bill 5367, s i These conditions should be easily met by all new duplex developments. However, some of the older duplexes possibly would not be able to meet some of these conditions. Therefore, these conditions generally will permit condominium conversions of new duplexes while retaining the moratorium on older units. L�pl-'-L James C. Hagaman Planning Director BP: JCH:s
