Hope Valley Downs Homeowners Association

What Hope Valley Downs Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Hope Valley Downs is a single-family home subdivision in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners and their successors, setting rules for residential use, building standards, and property maintenance.

• Residential use & building standards: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each main dwelling must have at least 1,800 square feet of heated and finished floor space, a minimum of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, and a garage. Only one detached dwelling and a private garage (for up to 3 cars) plus incidental outbuildings are allowed.
• Architectural review: All construction, exterior alterations, fences, walls, and other improvements require prior written approval from the Developer. Plans must be submitted and approved within 45 days; if no decision is made within that time, approval is deemed granted. The Developer can deny any proposal not in harmony with existing structures.
• Vehicles & parking: Recreational vehicles, boats, boat trailers, commercial vehicles, and unlicensed vehicles must be kept inside a garage. Street parking is limited to no more than two consecutive nights. Adequate off-street parking must be provided for residents.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or bred, but dogs, cats, and other reasonable household pets are allowed as long as they are not kept for commercial purposes.
• Home businesses: Home businesses are limited: they cannot employ more than one non-resident and cannot attract more than two daily vehicle trips from visitors or delivery vehicles.
• Exterior maintenance & appearance: Garbage cans must be screened from street and adjacent lots. Mailboxes must match the Developer's approved design. Satellite dishes larger than 18 inches, clotheslines, and fuel tanks are prohibited without written approval. All rubbish and waste must be kept in sanitary, screened containers.
• Signs: Only owner identification signs and one professional sign (max 5 square feet) advertising the property for sale or rent are allowed, unless prior approval is obtained. The Developer may erect street signage.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details about HOA fees, assessments, or the association's governance structure. It also doesn't specify any age restrictions or rental policies beyond the general residential use rules.
