North Side

What North Side's governing documents say

This is a commercial property (North Side Addition) in Arlington, TX, governed by reciprocal easements and restrictions among three commercial parcels: a motel, a retail center, and a restaurant. The rules bind the owners of these parcels, not individual tenants or residents. The document focuses on shared parking lot maintenance, utility easements, and use restrictions.

• Parking lot maintenance cost sharing: Motel Owner pays 50%, Restaurant Owner pays 20%, Retail Owner pays 30% of reasonable maintenance, repair, landscaping, and cleaning costs for the common parking areas. An administration fee not exceeding 10% of those costs is also shared proportionately.
• Easements: Each parcel grants nonexclusive easements over its common area for parking, utilities (water, sewer, gas, telephone, electrical), signage, and satellite dishes for the benefit of the other parcels.
• Prohibited uses: No illegal, hazardous, or nuisancelike activity is permitted. Specifically prohibited uses include factories, slaughterhouses, car lots, adult entertainment venues, massage parlors, and oil/gas operations. No dumping of rubbish or graffiti allowed.
• Exterior modifications: No substantial modification, rebuilding, or relocation of structures may occur without the written consent of all owners. Changes must harmonize with the exterior design, color, and texture of existing improvements in the commercial center.
• Signs & advertising: Billboard advertising is prohibited. Signs must not be misleading. Pole signs and satellite dishes are subject to specific easement locations and relocation rights. No temporary or portable signs are allowed on common areas.
• Enforcement & self-help: Any owner may enforce these restrictions through legal action or self-help. After 30 days' notice and failure to cure, the non-breaching owner may perform the obligation and recover costs plus 12% interest, secured by a lien on the defaulting owner's parcel (subordinate to mortgage liens).
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an amendment and declaration specific to commercial owners; it does not govern residential use, age restrictions, pets, lease terms, or typical HOA assessments. It supplements and modifies a prior declaration not included here.
