STAFF REPORT ' -- _I_-
DATE : November 12, 1380
TO : P 1 anniirg Commi s s ion
FROM: Planning Departnent
SUBJECT: ZCA-127, CITY OF CARLSBAD - An amendment to the zoning
code to require fixancia1 relocation assistance to
tenants when a condominium conversion is approved and to recommend lifting of the moratorium on the processing
of condominium conversion pkojects.
\
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS --
On March 4, 1980, the City Couiicil passed an interim ordinance (Ordinance No. 9547) which placed a moratorium on the conversion
of apartment units to condominums until the issue of development regulations and effect on tenants could be studied. Staff
subsequently prepared a report addressing these issues (copy
attached) which was reviewed by the City Council at a special
meeting held on September 9, 1980. Council action after considering the report was to retain the city's existing development standards which require conversion projects to meet the same development standards as a new condominium
development but to direct the Planning Commission to amend
the Condominium Coiiversion Ordinance to require financial
assistance to displaced tenants. Specifically, the City
Council's clirect.ion was to add a new section to the ordinance to include a requirement for tenants to receive an amount not to exceed one month's rent. Staff is therefore recommending that a new Section 21.47.170 be added to Chapter 21.47 of the Zone Code (Condominiurn arid Condominium Conversions) to
read as follows:
"Tenant Relocation Expenses. The subdivider shall
provide relocation and moving costs not to escecd an amount equal to one month's rent to any tenant who
relocates from the building to be converted after
receipt of notification from the subdivider cf his
intent to convert, except when the tenant has given
notice to his intent to move prior to receipt of notification
from the subdivider of his intent to convert."
Once this amendment is made to the code, staff would recommend
that the city lift the moratorium on considering applications for condominium conversion projects.
During the time that this issue was being studied, a new’ state law was enacted (Chapter 491, SR 1646) which extends *? the period for which a tenant in a condoniinium conversion project has the exclusive right to buy his unit from a 60
day period-to 90 days. Therefore, staff would also recorrmend __ .
that Section 21-. 47. I60 (2) of the Condominium Conversion
Ordinance be amended to reflect this change in state law.
Environmental Review
The Planning Director has determined that this project will
not have a signir’icaiit impact on the environment and therefore
has issued a Negative Declaration on October 29, 1980.
Recomienda t ion
It is reconmended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and
adopt Resolution No. 1724, APPROVING ZCA-127 and Resolutj-on
No. 1725, recommending5 the City Council that the moratcri.um
on the processing of applications for conversion of existing structures to condominiums be repealed, based on the findings contained therein.

Principal Planner-
IK'TR.ODUCTI ON
An a.na1ysi.s of the above-referenced subject indicates that
therc are usually three major issues whjch are diScussed
when developing an ordinance to permit and regulate the
conversion of rental units to condominiums. Althoilgii
certain aspects of these issues are'intqrelated, it is
probably best to discuss them individually since the dif-
ficulty encountered in making a detervination on each of the
j.ssEes differs substantially. Also, there is not general a.c;rcencnt that a condominium conversion ordinance sholild
necessarily include provisions to address and resolve ea.&
and every r,ne of the issues. The three i.ssuss are as follows:
----I
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Most existing condominium conversion ordinances require the
units to rricct physical. standards of development over and
above what wou1.d be required for rental units. This is
justifi.ed on the grounds t.hat the quality and construction
of the units should he consistent with other forms of
devclopincnt intended for separate ownership. The i-terns
usii;~:i.ly acidresscd are addi.-t.i.ona 1 parking, recreational 1
facilities arid separate utilities.
As .you 1~11017, Carlsbad presently requires. ccnduminium ccn-
versions to meet the same devclopment standards as a new condoinj.n:ium project. This may be considered stringent but it does result in high quality conversion projects.
Also, j-f j.t is the intent of the City to attempt to limit
.the nuniLcr of units converted and retain a rca.sonable nun-ibor
of rent;;]. units, - this in effect will tend to accomplish
that. If on the other hand, the City wishes to encourage
mort COIIVCUS~O~IS, it may be ncccssary to amend the exi.stj.ncj oi-dinnncc to makc j t. less stri.nvcnt or to provide a mcchaiii.sm for tzaivi nq some of the stmilairds whcn it can be Counrl to he
j u s ti f i c:.d .)

\
It is gc>i:erally acjreed tliat sonie form of physi.ca1 development
st.andards should he imposed on all proposals to convert .
apartmcnt units to co~ciominiurns in order to protect thc new .
buyers and to provi.de them with adcli tional amenities usually
as s c c i a t cd w li th i nd i v i d ua 1 home own e 3: s h i p .
D I SI? LAC EMENT * OF EX I: S T I NG TENANTS i- .--.-. --
It is also generally agreed that sorncthiilg should be done
' to reduce the impact on the resi2ents of the apartmcnt units
who will lsc required to reiocate hEcause of the conversion of the units t~ coi?dominiurns. In fact, state law already
rcqu.i.rc.5 that tenants he given advaiicc notif ica-tion of iiitent to convert and the right of first refusal..
Thcke ar,e a wide raiiqe of other additional- provisions
which 'can be ixcorporated into a condominium conversion ordinance for assisti-ng the tenants who will be displaced.
The most cominon one and the one that is easiest tb implenient
is t-0 require the developer to financially a.s.r;ist each tenant with a spesifi.ed amount of money to help cover moving and
relocation expenses (usually one to two 'times the monthly
rent.- paid by the tenant). . Other forms of assistance which
rn:ight be considered include :
$
Prohihitino rents from being increased during the period
of time frcn approval. of the condominium conversion
unti.-L the unit is actually vacated or sold.
Requiring the developer to provide tena2t.s with up-+.o- date information on the availability and location of
comparable apartment units.
b
Requiring an additional period of time to be provided
to the tenants for the purposes of relocating (especialiy
for elderly, handicapped or parents with minor children in school).
Requiri.ng the devel.6per .to submit a progran? for reeiuci.ng
the impact on displaced tenants which could include any of the above or combination of the above or other forms
of assistance specially suited to the project bei.ncJ'
proposed for conversion. This program would then he reviewed and approved by the City as part of szpproval ' of the conversion requcst.
.--c-p-----i PlAINTAINING AN ADE@t:ATE SUPPLY --IC OF RENTAL IIOlJSING -
This is probably the most difficult of the three issucs to deal with. This difficu1.t~ is the result of the complex ._
and controversial nature of cstablishing just what constii;utes
an adequate supp1.y of r-ental. housing (i.e. nunibcr of units or
pcrccnt of total. liousinq inventory) 2nd from obtninincj the necessary i nfoi:mn tion to dc.tcrminc if the supp1.y exists (i . e. availability of unit-s) . Should thc City desire to i.ncI.ude

specifically regulate the number of units converted in order
to ma.:lntc?,5.:1 a supp-ly 0.C rental units, the fol.lowing are
different Zpproaches which could be considered:
Est'nblish a spec.i.fied. maximum 1:iimher of converted <.- - units which would be permitted each year.

which must be rental. units and not approving any more
conversions if it. falls below that percentage.

approve any more conversions once' it falls below
the percentage.

conversion project be retainc?d or reserved for rental
pu1:poses I
Requiring the number of units converted each year not to exceec?. a percentage of the number of new apartments
constructed buring that year.
all these zpproaches, it will be necessary for the city
to qencrate ai:d adopt certain numbers or percentages which ,- in the final analysis, will require some r2latively arhitrary .determinations by the city. The reason fox this is that
there is no general agreexent or accepted standards fcr
'dcterminincrj what constitutes an adequate number of rents I-
\.inits in a city or what percentage of the 'total housing inventory should be rental units. Once this determination
is made, the information which is. needed in order to monitor
the adopted figures or percentages (availability of rental
units, vacancy rates, ..actual number of coiiverted anits sold ,
.etc). is not readily available and may be difficult t.o obtain.
Even if the applicant for a conversion project is required
to submit this information, it will be necessary for the
city to corroborate the inforination in some manner.
I ,As was stated in the discussion on the issue of physical
d eve 1 o pm en t s tan da r d s , s t r in g en t d eve 1 opixen t s t a17 d a r d s w i 1.1 tend to limit the number of units proposed for conversion
and therefore help to. maintain a rcasonablc supply of rental
housing. This can be accomplished witliout the need to
establish specific figures or percentages and without the need to continually monitor items like vacancy rates or number of units. The important thing to keep in mind is
that at the same time, good dcvelopnicnt standards result in good quality conversion projects.
-3-

. '?
It is yeiicrally agreed that a condominium conversion ordin-
ance should contain physical development standards which xust be ~et before the anits can be converted. Carlsbad
prcseiit1.y requires conversign pro jccts to meet the same
deveiopiwnt standards as a new condominium development.
Although this inay he considered stringent, it docs tcnd to
help maintain a supply of rental housing in the city and results in good quality conversion projects.
It is also generally agreed that something should be dene to
reijucc, the impact on ter,ants who will bc displaced because of the conversion of: rental units. The most corrmoii form of
assistance and the easiest to implement is to require the
developer to pay some moving and relocation expenses to the terxmts (om to two times the monthly rent).
--
'
The mbst difficult and controversial issue to ad6ress and
implement in a condominium conversion ordinance is atternpting -to maintain a specified amount of rental housing units in
the city. Addressing this issue may require somewhat arbi- trary dctermination.s and continual monitoring of the housing
inventory. Rather than getting involved in this, 5.t might
be better to consider relying on existing high quality development standards to help 1iinj.t the number of units proposed and approved for- conversion.
It j-s therefore jcecoiimended that the city (1)' retain its existing development standards for condominium conversion
projects and (2) amend the condominium conversion ordinance
'io require finzlncial relocation assistance to be paid to the tenants in the amount of one and one-half times their
moil-th1.y rent per attachment A.
If the City Council wishes to control. condominium conversions
by gilotas or vacancy rate factors, attachment B contains
various options for your consicieration.

was considered and approved at the last meeting of
the Plknning Conunissj-on held oil November 12, 1980. Due to an error in legal noticing, the. item had to be rescheduled
for imother pub1.i~ hearing and is therefore being returned to the Planning Commission at this time. Although the
Pl-annj-ng Conmi ssion z.p;?roved the Zone Code Amendment as
previously reccmmended by staff on November 12, 1980, the
Commission expressed four concerns regarding the wording of the amendment* These concerns were as follows:
1) Whether the requirement for relocation assistance just
2) When the reloca.tion assistance was to be paid. 3) Whether z..ssistance would just be requixed for tenants
4) Whether assistance should be in the form of a cash pay-
applied to residential projects.

ment or a credit toward rent due.
The City Attorney's office has redrafted the wording of the
Zone Code Ameridment and the new wording is contained in the attached memorandum to the Planning Department dated Novem-
ber 14, 1980. The new wording takes czre of the first two
concerns expressed by the Planning Comnission. Regarding
the last two concerns, staff believes that these two items
should be left up to the subdivider and the tenant and that the City should not get involved. In fact, the new wording proposed by the City Attorney's office would actually permi.t the subdivider and tenant to agree in writing on other arrangements for assistance to the tenant.
Staff has revised the resolutions presented at the Planning Commission meet-ing of November 12, 1980 to reflect the recommendations made in the memorandum from the City Attorney's
office dated November 14, 1980.
It is recomrcier,ded that the Planning Commission APPROVE ----- the Negative Declaration i.ssued by the Planning Director and adopt Resolution No. 1.724, APPRQVXNG :EA-127 and ResQlution
