This is a City of Raleigh required covenant for Thornton Reserve, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC. It binds the townhome association and all owners to city code requirements for common elements, open space, tree conservation, and stormwater. It is not the full HOA rulebook—it supplements the community's declaration and bylaws.

• What this document covers: This is a city-mandated covenant that ensures the community complies with Raleigh's code for developments with common elements and expenses. It covers open space, tree conservation, landscape easements, insurance, parking, sight triangles, and utility maintenance.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not the full set of HOA rules. It does not include pet limits, lease restrictions, architectural guidelines, or assessment amounts—those are in the community's declaration and bylaws.

• Parking & vehicles: Any parking restrictions on public streets in the governing documents apply only to owners, their family members, and tenants.
