B.

Utilities. Each new and converted condominium unit shall be provided the following utilities:

Ownership association. Prior to the City's authorization for occupancy, the applicant for a new condominium project or condominium conversion shall submit to the City Attorney for review and approval a copy of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) proposed for the project. The CC&Rs shall include a maintenance program and proposed budget by a homeowner's association or other enforceable means to ensure maintenance of common areas, landscaping, private streets, parking areas, and recreational facilities, including features of common area and facilities that can be reasonably expected to require replacement over the life of the project. A cash deposit shall be paid to the City for the City Attorney's review as determined by the Director.

D.

Conversion permit. A multi-unit project that was approved and subdivided as a condominium, where individual units were not sold and were instead rented for two or more years shall require the approval of a condominium conversion in compliance with Section 106.42.060 (Condominium Conversion) prior to sale of any units.
