subdivision (b) of Section 51.4. That limitation may be less
<br />exclusive, but shall at least require that the persons commencing any
<br />occupancy of a dwelling unit include a senior citizen who intends to
<br />reside in the unit as his or her primary residence on a permanent
<br />basis. The application of the rules set forth in this subdivision
<br />regarding limitations on occupancy may result in less than all of the
<br />dwellings being actually occupied by a senior citizen.
<br />(d) The covenants, conditions, and restrictions or other documents
<br />or written policy shall permit temporary residency, as a guest of a
<br />senior citizen or qualified permanent resident, by a person of less
<br />than 55 years of age for periods of time, not less than 60 days in
<br />any year, that are specified in the covenants, conditions, and
<br />restrictions or other documents or written policy.
<br />(e) Upon the death or dissolution of marriage, or upon
<br />hospitalization, or other prolonged absence of the qualifying
<br />resident, any qualified permanent resident shall be entitled to
<br />continue his or her occupancy, residency, or use of the dwelling unit
<br />as a permitted resident. This subdivision shall not apply to a
<br />permitted health care resident.
<br />(f) The condominium, stock cooperative, limited-equity housing
<br />cooperative, planned development, or multiple-family residential
<br />rental property shall have been developed for, and initially been put
<br />to use as, housing for senior citizens, or shall have been
<br />substantially rehabilitated or renovated for, and immediately
<br />afterward put to use as, housing for senior citizens, as provided in
<br />this section; provided, however, that no housing development
<br />constructed prior to January 1, 1985, shall fail to qualify as a
<br />senior citizen housing development because it was not originally
<br />developed for or originally put to use for occupancy by senior
<br />citizens.
<br />(g) The covenants, conditions, and restrictions or other documents
<br />or written policies applicable to any condominium, stock
<br />cooperative, limited-equity housing cooperative, planned development,
<br />or multiple-family residential property that contained age
<br />restrictions on January 1, 1984, shall be enforceable only to the
<br />extent permitted by this section, notwithstanding lower age
<br />restrictions contained in those documents or policies.
<br />(h) Any person who has the right to reside in, occupy, or use the
<br />housing or an unimproved lot subject to this section on January 1,
<br />1985, shall not be deprived of the right to continue that residency,
<br />occupancy, or use as the result of the enactment of this section.
<br />(i) The covenants, conditions, and restrictions or other documents
<br />or written policy of the senior citizen housing development shall
<br />permit the occupancy of a dwelling unit by a permitted health care
<br />resident during any period that the person is actually providing
<br />live-in, long-term, or hospice health care to a qualifying resident
<br />for compensation. For purposes of this subdivision, the term "for
<br />compensation" shall include provisions of lodging and, food in
<br />exchange for care.
<br />(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, this
<br />section shall not apply to the County of Riverside.
