What Lakeside Estates at Paloma Creek's governing documents say

This is a supplemental declaration for Lakeside Estates at Paloma Creek, a single-family home community within the larger Paloma Creek master-planned development in Denton County, Texas. It adds property to the Master Declaration and imposes additional protective covenants on homeowners. The rules apply to lot owners and residents, emphasizing residential use, architectural standards, and property maintenance.

• Land use & business activities: All lots are for single-family residential use only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, involve no regular client visits, and have no exterior signage.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire home for a term of at least six months; no short-term or vacation rentals.
• Architectural review & design standards: Any construction, fencing, landscaping, or exterior modifications require prior approval from the New Construction Committee or Modifications Committee. Minimum floor area is 2,000 sq ft (excluding garage/porches). Homes cannot exceed 40 feet in height or two stories. At least 85% of exterior walls must be brick, stone, or other masonry.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks over 3/4 ton, campers, motor homes, trailers, or boats may be parked on a lot or street for more than 24 continuous hours unless stored inside a garage or screened from view. Each home must have a garage for at least 2 cars.
• Pets & animals: Only household pets (dogs, cats) in reasonable numbers are allowed; no breeding or commercial purposes. No livestock, reptiles, or poultry.
• Landscaping & trees: Lot must be landscaped within 60 days of home completion, with sod in front yard and shrubs along foundation. Each lot requires 2 large canopy trees (3 on corner lots) of specific species (e.g., Live Oak, Pecan, Cedar Elm) with a minimum 3-inch caliper.
• Fences & screening: Fences require committee approval, cannot exceed 6 feet in height (except perimeter walls up to 8 feet), and must face the street with decorative side outward. Chain link fences are allowed only for dog runs if not visible from street.
