§ 8.48.010. Purpose—Declaration of urgency.  


Latest version.
  • There has been a dramatic acceleration in the number of condominium, cooperative or community apartment conversion projects. The results of such conversions are causing deleterious effects upon large segments of the population, particularly those in low to moderate income categories. Such conversions cause displacement of renters and decrease housing opportunities for senior citizens, the handicapped and low and moderate income families, create a tighter rental market, cause increased rent, and increase the potential of homelessness for displaced people. Such conditions are having a detrimental effect on the lives of a substantial number of residents of the unincorporated areas of the county.
