[Ord. No. 3187 §1, 11-5-2014]
The purpose of this Article is to outline and describe the process
for a condominium or condominium building conversion declaration and
platting. A condominium declaration and plat is required for the approval
of any condominium plat. This streamlined process applies to all applications
for condominium consideration or conversion that do not require any
dedications to the City, public improvements, or condominium projects
where improvements have already been approved as part of a separate
subdivision or site plan approval.
[Ord. No. 3187 §1, 11-5-2014]
A.
Whenever a condominium declaration and plat or condominium building
conversion is proposed, the applicant shall apply for and secure approval
of a condominium plat or condominium building conversion plat, in
accordance with the following procedure.
1.
Staff procedure.
a.
All applications for a Condominium Plat Approval shall first be reviewed by staff as per the Staff Procedure set forth in Article III of this Chapter.
b.
Staff will verify that the new development complies with all
applicable codes and is being constructed in accordance to approved
plans. Any improvement required as part of new development shall be
previously approved (via approval of a subdivision plat or site plan)
prior to the submission of an application for a condominium plat approval.
Additionally, all improvements required must be either fully installed
or guaranteed by a cash deposit or construction bond, as per the requirements
of this Chapter.
2.
For owners of existing buildings desiring to convert to condominium
ownership, the following procedure will apply: Prior to or concurrent
with the submittal of an application for condominium building conversion
plat approval, the applicant must have the subject building inspected
by the Building Inspector. The Building Inspector shall conduct an
inspection to verify that the existing structure is in compliance
with applicable codes and ordinances. If not in compliance, all violations
must be corrected prior to City Council consideration. Compliance
with applicable codes is limited to the same code requirements as
those required for an occupancy permit after a change in occupancy
or ownership.
