(.2) If the transferee transfers the parcel to a person who will not live in any dwelling thereon, to require as a condition of such transfer that all subsequent transfers of the parcel shall, until such time as all dwellings thereon are (A) occupied, or (B) demolished or permanently devoted to non-residential purposes, be made on the condition that:
