It applies to the two subdivided parcels, 27A and 27B, and establishes land use, architectural, and other restrictions for property owners in those parcels. Note: this is a partial document — it amends the original declaration and does not contain the full set of community rules.

• Land use restrictions: Parcel 27A may only be used for single-family residential, residential condominium (not convertible to apartment), or commercial office. Parcel 27B's primary use is a major recreational facility. Any change of use for Parcel 27A requires association approval.
