The nearly zero vacancy factor in apartment rental units in the City of Chula Vista has created an inability on the part of the housing market to satisfy the needs of a great many families and individuals to find decent rental housing and who are unable to purchase housing . 2 . There are apparently significant numbers of condo- minium units available for sale and/or rental at prices substantially in excess of the financial capability of low and moderate income families . 3 . The exact market conditions relative to the number of condominiums versus apartment rental units is unknown at the present time and requires substantial in-depth study both as to market availability and social impact of continuing condominium conversions . � 4 . Such studies are required to enable approoriate recommendations to be made for modification, if any are determined necessary in our existing ordinance regulating condominium conver- sions . 5 . There is an urgent necessity to temporarily stabilize the condition of apartment rental units by placing a moratorium on their conversion to condominiums . NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista ordains as follows : SECTION I . Purpose and Intent. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to establish a ninety (90) day moratorium on the approval of tentative maps required as a condition to the con- version of occupied apartment rental units to condo- miniums commencing August 12, 1980 pending an in-depth study of the problem by the Planning staff and Planning Commission . SECTION II . Moratorium Established . The City Council does hereby establish a moratorium on the submission of tentative maps for approval by the City Council , and upon the filing of any applica- tions for the conversion of occupied apartments to condominiums , processing of such applications including the processing of ten£ative maps and any further action by either the Planning Commission or City Council on tentative maps which have been submitted . -1- Said moratorium shall not apply to condominium conversion situations where the tentative map has been approved by the City Council . The moratorium shall remain in full force and effect to and until November 12, 1980 or until such time as the City Council adopts new condominium conversion regulations or reaffirms existing regulations to be continued without modification, whichever occurs first in time . SECTION III . Severability . If any provision or clause of this ordinance or the appli- cation thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional or to be otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other ordinance provisions or clauses or applications thereof which can be implemented without the invalid provision or clause or application and to this end the provisions and clauses of this ordinance are declared to be severable . SECTION IV. Urgency Measure . . This ordinance is hereby declared to be an interim ordi- nance adopted as an urgency measure to protect the public health, safety and welfare and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. The facts constituting such urgency are set forth hereinabove and represent a serious threat to the maintenance of existing property rental supplies within the city for the availability of all economic segments of the community and especially to persons of low and moderate incomes and to those on fixed incomes, which are hereby declared to be contrary to the ge.nerally stated goals and objectives of the Housing Element of the General Plan of the City of Chula Vista . This ordinance shall become effective upon its first reading and adoption if passed by at least four (4) affirmative votes of the City Council as an interim ordinance and an emergency measure .
