What La Cantera Homeowners''s governing documents say

La Cantera is a single-family home planned community in Lakeside, TX, governed by the La Cantera Homeowners' Association. These governing documents apply to all homeowners (lot owners) and set strict rules on construction, aesthetics, and property use. A supplemental declaration extends these rules to Phase II and adds an equestrian easement.

• Architectural review: All building plans (new construction, additions, fences, landscaping, exterior changes) must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC may disapprove plans not in harmony with surroundings, incomplete, or contrary to community interests. Approval is required before any work begins.
• Lot use & construction standards: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each lot may have one detached single-family home (max 2.5 stories) plus a private garage. Minimum living unit floor area is 2,500 square feet. Exterior walls must be at least 85% stone, stucco, masonry, or brick. Construction must be completed within 12 months of start.
• Setbacks & building lines: Dwellings and accessory structures must be at least 25 feet from side lines and 50 feet from front lines, unless approved otherwise by the ACC. All structures must be behind the building line shown on the lot.
• Fencing & walls: Fences, walls, and hedges cannot exceed 7 feet in height. Wood panel, picket, and chain-link fences are not allowed unless approved by the ACC. Decorative fencing around the community perimeter is common property maintained by the association.
• Pets & horses: Household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed but not for commercial breeding or keeping. Horses are permitted: one horse per lot, or two if the lot is larger than 1.5 acres.
• Parking & storage: Boats, trailers, campers, mobile homes, and similar wheeled vehicles cannot be stored nearer to the street than the front of the house, and only in a closed garage or fenced enclosure (with ACC approval). No vehicles carrying flammable or hazardous cargo may be kept in the community.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Front yards must have an underground sprinkler system. Landscaping must be completed within 180 days of the home being 90% complete. Owners must mow, weed, and maintain their lots; if not, the association may do so and charge the owner. No dumping of trash or debris.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board of Directors. Special assessments for capital improvements require approval of 51% of votes cast at a meeting. Assessments are a lien on the property and bear 10% interest if delinquent. The association may foreclose or sue for unpaid assessments.
