FILING FEE A permit application must be accompanied by a filing fee as established by Order of the City Manager pursuant to Section 2.020 of the Eugene Code. PART 2 - A DESCRIPTION OF TENANT AND PURCHASER PROTECTIONS PROVIDED BY EUGENE'S CONDOMINIUM CONVERSION ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION In 1980, the City of Eugene adopted an Ordinance regulating the conversion of more than two rental dwelling units to condominium or cooperative ownership. In 1991, the City re-adopted the Ordinance with amendments. The Ordinance basically regulates conversion in three ways that affect the existing tenants of a building( s) to be converted. On June 26, 2005, the Eugene City Council approved changes to the code provisions governing condominium conversions to allow the use of a reserve specialist to identify the condition of the common areas, to adjust the allowable moving cost benefits to current values, to eliminate the required City inspection, and to clarify the length of the tenant's right to stay period. It provides: 1. Protection to existing tenants who reside in the project. 2. Additional protections and benefits to "special category tenants" (low-income, elderly, or persons with disabilities). 3. Protections to purchasers of converted units by strongly encouraging a pre- purchase inspection in order to determine the condition of the unit prior to sale. It is the intent of this publication to give a brief description of the tenant and purchaser protections provided by City Code. For more information, please refer directly to Sections 2.1060 and 2.1084 of the Eugene Code, and the adopted Administrative Rules or call the Planning & Development Department, Community Development Division at 682-5071.
