Applicability of local ordinances, regulations and building codes

1. A building code may not impose any requirement upon any structure in a common-interest community which it would not impose upon a physically identical development under a different form of ownership. 2. In condominiums and cooperatives, no zoning, subdivision or other law, ordinance or regulation governing the use of real estate may prohibit the condominium or cooperative as a form of ownership or impose any requirement upon a condominium or cooperative which it would not impose upon a physically identical development under a different form of ownership. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 1 and 2, the provisions of this chapter do not invalidate or modify any provision of any building code or zoning, subdivision or other law, ordinance, rule or regulation governing the use of real estate. 4. The provisions of this section do not prohibit a local government from imposing different requirements and standards regarding design and construction on different types of structures in common-interest communities. For the purposes of this subsection, a townhouse in a planned community is a different type of structure from other structures in common-interest communities, including, without limitation, other structures that are or will be owned as condominiums or cooperatives.
