Subject to the provisions of the declaration and other provisions of law, upon application of a unit owner to subdivide a unit or upon application of a declarant to convert a unit the association shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration, including the plats and plans, subdividing or converting that unit.

(c) Conversion of unit of declarant to common elements.--In the case of a unit owned by a declarant, if a declarant converts all of a unit to common elements, the amendment to the declaration must reallocate among the other units the common element interest, votes in the association and common expense liability formerly allocated to the converted unit on a pro rata basis, inter se.
