A. 
The provisions of this chapter shall be known as the "Residential Condominium Conversions" regulations of this title.
B. 
The purposes of the residential condominium conversions regulations are as follows:
1. 
To establish criteria for the conversion of existing multiple-family rental housing to a condominium;
2. 
To promote the concept of home ownership and increase the amount of owner-occupied housing affordable by all economic segments of the community;
3. 
To ensure that converted housing achieves a high degree of appearance, quality, and safety and is consistent with the goals of the city;
4. 
To provide a reasonable balance of ownership and rental housing and a variety of choices of tenure, type, price and location of housing;
5. 
To maintain a supply of rental housing for very-low, low and moderate income persons;
6. 
To reduce the impact of conversion on residents in rental housing who may be required to relocate due to the conversion of apartments to condominiums by providing procedures for notification and adequate time and assistance for such relocation; and
7. 
To assure that purchasers of converted housing have been properly informed as to the physical condition of the structure which is offered for purchase.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
The provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to the conversion or subdivision of a single ownership parcel of existing improved residential real property typically containing five or more units, or of an existing mobile home park, into a form of ownership for residential purposes involving the right of exclusive occupancy or separate ownership of individual units or mobile home spaces, including, but not limited to condominiums, community apartments, or stock cooperatives.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
For purposes of this chapter, unless otherwise apparent from the context, certain words and phrases used in this chapter are defined in Chapter 17.030, Definitions.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)

Any balance due shall be paid before recordation of the final map.
F. 
Affordable Housing. A condominium conversion is subject to the affordable housing requirements in Chapter 17.725. However, if the project was required to comply with the affordable housing requirements when the project was constructed, the project shall receive a credit for: (1) the number of affordable units required at the time the project was constructed, assuming those existing affordable units remain affordable units; and (2) any fees paid in lieu of creating affordable units, as to that portion of the obligation under the then-current affordable housing requirements that may be satisfied by the payment of fees.

Senior Citizens and Disabled Tenants.
1. 
A tenant household in residence at the time a tentative map application is deemed complete by the community development department, in which the head of the household or spouse is age sixty-two or older or is determined to be disabled as defined within The Americans With Disabilities Act, is considered a senior citizen or disabled tenant and shall be offered a three-year lease at the time the final map is approved.
2. 
The annual rent increase for a senior citizen or disabled tenant with a three-year lease may not exceed the annual change in the Consumer Price Index - Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the San Francisco area as calculated from April to April.

Vacation of Units.
a. 
Each non-purchasing tenant, not in default under the rental agreement or lease, shall have not less than one hundred eighty days from the date of receipt of notification from the subdivider of the intent to convert, or from the filing date of the final subdivision map or parcel map, whichever date is later, to find substitute housing and to relocate.
b. 
A non-purchasing tenant who: (i) is disabled, or (ii) has minor children in school, or (iii) is age sixty-two or older (whether publicly subsidized or not) and does not accept a special two- or three-year lease, living in any unit at the time a tentative map application is deemed complete by the community development department, shall be given at least one hundred eighty days (or until the end of the school year for tenants with minor children in school, whichever is longer) after approval of the final map in which to find suitable housing and relocate.

F. 
Public policy—Lease Provisions and Evictions.
1. 
It is against the public policy embodied in this chapter to attempt to subvert its provisions by coercing the waiver of any rights or privileges created or protected herein. Any provision of a lease or rental agreement which purports to waive a tenant's rights under this chapter or which requires prior consent to the conversion shall be null, void and unenforceable. Such acts shall be grounds for denial of the tentative map application.
2. 
It is against the public policy embodied in this chapter to evict or threaten to evict or otherwise harass any tenant because of the tenant's refusal to consent to conversion, the tenant's opposition to such conversion or the anticipated refusal or opposition of the tenant. Such acts shall be grounds for denial of the tentative map application.
G. 
Remodeling. No remodeling planned as part of conversion shall be performed in a unit still occupied by a non-purchasing tenant, without written permission. In the event a unit is occupied by a tenant obtaining a special two- or three-year lease, remodeling may occur only after the end of such lease period.
H. 
Notice of Public Report. As provided in Government Code Section 66427.1(a), each tenant shall receive ten days' written notice that an application for a public report will be or has been submitted to the Department of Real Estate, and that such report will be available on request.

I. 
Notice of Final Map Approval. As provided in Government Code 66427.1(b), each tenant shall receive written notification within ten days of approval of a final map for the proposed conversion. The written notices to tenants required by this section shall be deemed satisfied if such notices comply with the legal requirements for service by mail.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
In reviewing an application for conversion of an existing development to condominium, the planning commission shall consider the following:
A. 
Whether or not the amount and impact of the displacement of tenants, if the conversion if approved, would be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community.
B. 
Whether or not the existing apartment complex is serving very-low, low and moderate income households. Standard definitions of very-low, low and moderate income rents used by the federal and state governments should be used in the evaluation. Along with other factors, the city should consider:
1. 
The number of families on current waiting lists for assisted rental housing programs that operate in Brentwood, such as the Section 8, Section 23 and Section 236 programs; and
2. 
The probable income range of tenants living in existing apartments, based on the assumption that households may ordinarily be expected to pay between one-quarter and one-third of their income for housing. That income range will be compared with existing income limits for the Section 8 program to determine whether potential displaced tenants can be categorized as very-low, low or moderate income.
C. 
The vacancy rate and turnover rate in multiple-family rental housing in the community, and the extent to which the proposed conversion will create hardships. A conversion may be denied based upon a lack of reasonable alternative housing opportunities.
D. 
The need and demand for lower-cost home ownership opportunities which are increased by the conversion of apartments to condominiums.
E. 
The current and historical vacancy rate in the project. In evaluation of the current vacancy level under this subsection, the increase in rental rates for each unit over the preceding five years and the average monthly vacancy rate for the project over the preceding two years shall be considered. If the planning commission determines that vacancies in the project have been increased or encouraged for the purpose of preparing the project for conversion, it may disapprove the tentative map.
F. 
Whether or not the conversion will be detrimental to the retention of very-low, low and moderate housing stock or will reduce or significantly alter the opportunity within the City for the housing of young and elderly citizens.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
In order to reduce the effect of conversions on the city's housing supply and to minimize the displacement of tenants, the number of conversions shall be limited to no more than five percent of the city's potentially convertible rental stock in any one calendar year except as otherwise provided in this section. Conversion applications will be processed in the order that completed applications are submitted. A proposed project that is larger than the permitted number of units in a given year, if approved, will be considered to have used the permitted number of conversions for as many future years as necessary.
The potentially convertible rental stock will be defined as follows: the number of multifamily rental units as determined by the state Department of Finance plus any new rental units constructed since the latest state calculation, minus any units which have received tentative map approval to convert since the latest state calculation.
Once the yearly limit has been reached, a project may be approved for conversion only if the planning commission makes one or more of the following findings:
A. 
The developer will provide for a significant increase in housing for very-low, low and moderate income households or senior citizen households over and above the provisions of this chapter.
B. 
The developer will provide for the construction of new rental housing.
C. 
The developer will donate an acceptable site or an acceptable amount of funds to the city for construction of new rental or senior citizen housing.
D. 
The need and demand for low cost home ownership to be provided for by the project will outweigh the detriment caused by further reduction of the rental stock.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
The planning commission may not approve an application for a residential condominium conversion unless it finds in the approving resolution that the proposed conversion meets all of the following:
A. 
Conforms to the requirements of this chapter;
B. 
Is consistent with the Brentwood general plan and current zoning regulations;
C. 
For a project of five units or more, it will not cause the total amount of rental units for the current housing stock in the city to drop below fifteen percent according to the most recent census information or as shown in the city's general plan housing element housing tenure statistics whichever is most current;
D. 
The overall design and physical condition of the condominium conversion achieves a high degree of appearance, quality and safety;
E. 
The conversion project is appropriate as a condominium conversion project due to its age, condition, including any proposed renovations, location or any other matters affecting its continuing viability as an ownership project;
F. 
The developer has complied with the tenant provisions public policy requirements and has not evicted or coerced any tenant resulting in a violation of Section 17.740.070 of this chapter;
G. 
The proposed condominium conversion project will not negatively impact very-low or low-income, elderly or disabled households;
H. 
The proposed project will not convert during the current calendar year more than five percent of the potentially convertible rental units in the city except as otherwise provided in this chapter; and
I. 
Vacancies in the project have not been intentionally increased for the purpose of preparing the project for conversion; and
J. 
Satisfies the requirements of Government Code Section 66427.1 regarding notice to tenants.
(Ord. 859 § C, 2008)
