• Property use & residential restrictions: All lots are for single-family residential use only. No business, commercial, or institutional activity is permitted (including churches, hospitals, theaters). Guest houses and servants' quarters may exist but cannot be separately rented; occupancy is limited to guests or servants.
• Leasing & rentals: An entire lot may be rented to a single family only, for a minimum term of 90 days (amended in 2022 from 6 months). Subleases are prohibited.

Plans must be submitted; approval is deemed if not rejected within 30 days. Rejection must be reasonable and based on harmony with the neighborhood.
