AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING CONVERSION OF MULTIPLE
RESIDENTIAL USE STRUCTURES PENDING COMPLETION OF
ZONING PROPOSAL STUDIES THEREFOR.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO HEREBY FINDS:
1. Numerous multiple residential use structures including, but not
limited to, duplexes, triplexes, apartments, hotels and motels exist in the
City of South San Francisco.
2. In the last several months inquiries have been received regarding
the proposed conversion of apartments and other structures to condominiums as
defined by Civil Code Section 783, community apartment projects as defined
by Business and Professions Code Section 11004 and stock cooperatives a~
defined by Business and Professions Code Section'llO03.2, and applications are
pending or expected.
3. Such conversion, unless adequately regulated and equitably scheduled
in accordance with General Plan standards, will deplete the rental premises
availability below the standard established by Policy No. 30 of the draft
Housing Element of the General Plan which was approved by the City Council on
July 18, 1979 in Resolution No. 81-79, and will further cause severe financial
and relocation problems for existing tenants.
4. The City Council, the Planning Commission and staff are pursuing
studies to develop new zoning and related legislation regulating such conver-
sions in the interest of t~e public health, safety and welfare.
5. Further conversion, prior to completion of the studies, will hinder,.
impede and hamper such studies; the effects of such conversion during the study
period will be largely irreversible; and the results and recommendations of
such studies may well be made moot by conversions during the period of such
studies.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. For four months from the effective date of this ordinance,
no existing multiple residential use structures including, but not limited to,
duplexes, triplexes, apartments, hotels and motels shall be converted to con-
dominiums, community apartment projects or stock cooperatives as herein before
defined. No permits, subdivision maps or parcel maps shall be accepted,
processed or approved for such conversions during said four month period.
