Spring Valley Lake Association

What Spring Valley Lake Association's governing documents say

Spring Valley Lake is a master-planned, single-family home subdivision in Victorville, CA, governed by a homeowner's association (HOA). These CC&Rs and bylaws establish an Architectural Committee, a 200-acre artificial lake and recreational amenities, and an association responsible for maintenance and assessments.

• Architectural review: No structure, fence, or alteration may be built without written approval from a 3-member Architectural Committee. Plans must include grading, color scheme, and design; the committee may reject based on harmony with the general plan. If no action within 30 days, plans are deemed approved.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family homes (minimum 900 sq ft living area, excluding garage/porches) unless zoned otherwise. No businesses, mining, noxious activities, temporary homes, or exposed TV antennas. 'For Sale' signs are allowed if customary size.
• Setbacks & lot standards: Front yard setback: 25 ft; side yards: one side at least 5 ft and the other at least 10 ft; rear yard: at least 15 ft (32 ft for lakefront lots). No individual sewage disposal systems.
• Pets & animals: Domestic cats, dogs, and birds may be kept as household pets, not for commercial purposes or in unreasonable quantities. Horses allowed on lots complying with county land use ordinance.
• Leasing & rentals: No specific leasing restrictions in the provided text; tenants and lessees may become associate members but have no vote.
• Assessments & liens: The association levies annual assessments (max $150 per lot in 1979, adjusted for inflation). Special assessments exceeding 5% of budget require member approval. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot, enforceable like a mortgage/trust deed.
• Lake & recreational amenities: The association maintains a 200-acre artificial lake, beaches, and parking areas. Owners and associate members (tenants, guests) have use rights, subject to rules. Lakefront lots have additional setbacks. Boat shelters, piers, etc. require revocable license from the association.
• Membership & voting: Each lot owner (one vote per lot) is a voting member. Associate members (spouse, children, tenants) have no vote. Meetings require 25% quorum, reduced to 15% if adjourned. Directors serve 2-year terms, max two successive terms.
