Diamond Bar, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 21.24 § 21.24.010
Purpose of chapter
Operative Text
This chapter establishes requirements for applications for the creation of a condominium or other common interest development (including a community apartment project, planned development or stock cooperative, as provided by California Civil Code § 1351) simultaneously with the construction of a new structure, and the conversion of an existing structure to a condominium, consistent with the requirements of the subdivision map act.
Diamond Bar Code of Ordinances ch. 21.24 § 21.24.010 sets out the overarching purpose of the chapter, which governs two distinct scenarios: the creation of a condominium or other common interest development (such as a community apartment project, planned development, or stock cooperative) built alongside new construction, and the conversion of an already-existing structure into a condominium. The chapter is designed to align these local requirements with California's Subdivision Map Act, ensuring a consistent regulatory framework for common interest developments in Diamond Bar.

For tenants living in a building that may be subject to a condominium conversion, ch. 21.24 § 21.24.010 establishes that Diamond Bar has a dedicated chapter governing such conversions, which means additional rules and procedural requirements apply beyond this introductory provision.
