b. Phasing (10/15/2019) i. Definition Phasing refers to Condominium Projects that are legally declared in separate stages by amending and recording the governing documents. Legal Phases refer to specific phases of a Condominium Project that allow additions to the Condominium Project and are defined by state authority. ii. Standard Condominium Projects may be approved in stages as Legal Phases are completed; however, all completed Legal Phases must be evaluated. Each Legal Phase must be complete as demonstrated by the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) or its equivalent prior to submission of a Legal Phase. Legal Phases may be submitted for New Construction and Conversion (both Gut and Non-Gut Rehabilitation) Condominium Projects. The submitted Legal Phases must be independently sustainable without future planned Legal Phases, as demonstrated by the budget and financial documentation, such that the submitted Legal Phases of the Condominium Project will not be jeopardized by the failure to complete additional Legal Phases.
