The accommodations shall not be the object of material division, by segregation, to form other accommodations, nor be increased by the grouping of other adjacent accommodations or portions thereof during the term of the timeshare plan or vacation club, except as set forth below for commercial units. Timeshares and vacation club rights shall not be an object of division, by segregation, to form other timeshares or vacation club rights, nor be grouped or consolidated with other timeshares or vacation club rights.
Notwithstanding the terms of the previous paragraph, commercial units may be subject of material division by segregation, to form other commercial units, or increased through the grouping of other adjoining commercial units, provided that the developer had reserved the right to subdivide or group the commercial units of the regime in the deed of dedication referred to in § 1264 of this title. In such cases the new description of the commercial units affected and the new corresponding percentage shares corresponding to such units in the facilities and the common expenses shall be set forth in a public deed of segregation or grouping, as the case may be, which shall not be effective until recorded in the Registry of Property under the corresponding filial property numbers. A certified copy of said deed shall remain in the Registry of Property attached to the deed of dedication referred to in § 1264 of this title. A plan, certified by engineer or architect, duly licensed in Puerto Rico to practice his profession, graphically showing the details of the commercial units modified shall be appended to said certified copy. Furthermore, in case of a subdivision of a commercial unit, said plan shall also be approved by the Regulations and Permits Administration.
