(A) If the Council finds that the conversion will have an adverse effect on the diversity of housing types available in the city or that the displacement of tenants would be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the community, the Council shall deny the application. Upon making such finding, the application shall be approved only if the Council finds that the benefits of home ownership opportunity offered by the conversion outweigh the adverse effects set forth in this article.
(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the City Council may deny a use permit if it finds that vacancies in the building have been created by unjust evictions and unreasonable rent increases in order to qualify a project for conversion under this subsection.
