The application for a condominium conversion subject to this section shall include the information required by subsections A.1 through A.4 of section 17.716.050.

F. Decision and findings. The city council shall not approve a conditional use permit under this chapter unless, in addition to the findings required by section 17.808.200, it makes the following findings:
1. That the proposed conversion is consistent with the general plan and applicable community and specific plans in effect at the time of the conditional use permit application, especially with the objectives, policies, and programs of the housing element of the general plan;

In approving a conditional use permit for a condominium conversion under the provisions of this section, the city council may impose such conditions as may be necessary to carry out the intent, purposes, and objectives of this chapter, the general plan and applicable community and specific plans and elements thereof, or to protect the public health, safety, or welfare.
