Governing Documents

Also known as the Declaration, CC&Rs are the rules governing the neighborhood. They outline the requirements and limitations on what a resident may do with their property. The goal of the CC&Rs is to protect, preserve, and enhance property values in the community.

 

The Design Guidelines establish the Association’s standards for exterior appearance and property improvements, including materials, colors, landscaping, hardscapes, fences, lighting, and accessory structures. These guidelines work with the CC&Rs to preserve the community’s aesthetic character and protect property values.

The Bylaws govern how the Owners Association operates and contain the information needed to run the Association as a business. They cover how often membership meetings must occur, how meetings are conducted, the structure and duties of the Board of Directors, and more.
