The purpose of this chapter is to allow a change in the type of ownership allowed within structures or property to that defined as a condominium project for properties located in commercial, manufacturing, office, multiple-family residential, mixed use and R-2-10 zones. Condominium ownership differs in numerous respects from conventional building ownership. It is in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare that condominium projects, pursuant to the Utah condominium ownership act, Utah Code Annotated section 57-8-1 et seq., 1953, as amended (the "act") should be approved by the city and appropriately regulated for the protection of the community, and prospective purchasers of condominium units.
The procedure and requirements of this chapter and the act shall apply to and govern the construction and/or conversion of condominiums, and approval of all bylaws, condominium plats and declarations for condominium projects. This chapter and the act are in addition and supplemental to other land use, health, building or other ordinances which may be applicable to a particular condominium project.
The procedures set forth herein are intended to recognize the unique characteristics of condominiums and condominium conversions and to provide a review process and a set of standards which are intended to reduce any negative impacts upon the community, neighborhood areas, or prospective owners which may result from the creation of a condominium or condominium conversion.
