The property shall be in single ownership or under the management and supervision of a central authority or otherwise subject to such supervisory lease or ownership control as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.

b.

Prior to the use, occupancy, sale, or the execution of contracts for sale of an individual building unit, parcel, tract, condominium, townhouse or apartment, a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions or an equivalent document and a set of floor plans shall be filed with the City. The filing with the City shall be made prior to the filing of said declaration or document of floor plans with the County Recorder's office.

c.

If applicable, the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions shall provide that an owner's association or corporation shall be formed and that all owners shall be members of the association or corporation, which shall maintain all common properties and common areas in good repair and which shall assess individual property owner's proportionate shares of joint or common costs. This declaration shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Council. The intent of this requirement is to protect the property values of the individual owner through establishing effective private control.

d.

The declaration shall additionally, amongst other things, provide that in the event the association or corporation fails to maintain properties in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the City or fails to pay taxes or assessments on properties as they become due and in the event the City incurs any expenses in enforcing its rules and regulations, which said expenses are not immediately reimbursed by the association or corporation, then the City shall have the right to assess each property its pro rata share of said expenses.
