Where an addition is added to an existing Group E occupancy located in an area where the shelter design wind speed for tornadoes in 250 mph in accordance with Figure 304.2(1) of ICC 500 and the occupant load of the addition is 50 or more, the addition shall have a storm shelter constructed in accordance with Chapters 1 through 5 and 8 of ICC 500.

   1.   The conversion of any residential building or portion thereof to a horizontal property regime or to a multiple housing cooperative shall be treated as a change of occupancy classification for the building, notwithstanding anything in the building codes to the contrary, and shall conform to the International Building Code.
   2.   No person shall file or record a declaration in the office of the county recorder to convert an existing structure located within the City to a horizontal property regime unless a Certificate of Occupancy for compliance with the current building codes has been issued by the Administrative Official.
   3.   No person shall file or record an instrument in the office of the county recorder conveying an interest in real estate located in the City to a multiple housing cooperative unless a Certificate of Occupancy for compliance with the current building codes has been issued by the Administrative Official.

      c.   Two copies of construction plans for planned improvements to be made to the structure to bring the structure into conformance with the current building codes.
   5.   Upon receipt of the documents and the conversion fee as provided above, the Administrative Official shall review the building code analysis and conduct such inspections of the structure as may be deemed appropriate by the administrator to determine whether or not the structure conforms with the requirements of Paragraph 1 above. If the Administrative Official determines that the structure has been shown to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Subparagraph (a) above, the administrator shall cause a Certificate of Occupancy to be issued for the use of the structure as a horizontal property regime or a multiple housing cooperative. If the structure has not been shown to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 1 above, the administrator shall give written notice to the applicant of any violations of the applicable code requirements discovered to exist in the building.
