What Los Rios Townhomes Residential Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for a new single-family home subdivision called Hinkley Los Rios in Plano, TX. It sets the rules for homeowners who will buy lots, build a residence, and be part of the Hinkley Los Rios Homeowners Association. It describes what you must do and what is restricted as a property owner.

• Community type & who it binds: This is a single-family home subdivision with an HOA. The rules bind every lot owner, and by accepting a deed you automatically agree to follow all covenants and pay assessments.
• Architectural & design standards: No structure can be built or altered without written approval from an Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Minimum floor area cannot be less than 3,500 sq ft for the residence (excluding garage, porches, etc.). Exteriors must be at least 85% brick, stone, stucco, or masonry. Roofs must be tile, standing-seam metal, or 30-year composition shingles; wood shingles and solar panels visible from a street are prohibited. Fences average no more than 6 ft (side/rear) and 4 ft (front).
• Construction & completion deadlines: Construction must be completed within 12 months of starting. After a fire or damage, rebuilding must begin within 120 days, or the lot must be cleared. Landscaping must be installed within 90 days of the main structure reaching 95% completion. A landscaping plan must be pre-approved by the ACC.
• Use restrictions & activities: Lots are for single-family residential use only; no business or garage sales. No temporary buildings, trailers, mobile homes, or motor homes may be used as a residence. No street parking except for guests (max 4 hours); all vehicles must be parked on driveways or inside garages. Commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, and trailers can only be stored in an enclosed space concealed from view.
• Pets & nuisances: No offensive activities or nuisances. Dogs and cats are allowed as household pets (not bred or kept commercially) and must comply with Plano ordinances. No livestock or poultry.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot (except those owned by Declarant) pays an annual assessment starting at $500 per year, payable quarterly. Assessments may be increased by the HOA board. Special assessments up to the amount of the annual assessment can be levied without member vote; larger special assessments require a 3/4 vote of members present. Late payments incur interest (up to 18% per annum) and can lead to a lien on the lot.
• Declarant control period: Until 15 days after the last lot is sold, the Declarant (Hinkley Los Rios, LLC) retains the right to appoint and remove HOA board members, officers, and the ACC. During this period, the HOA cannot borrow money or mortgage common property without Declarant's written approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: The document does not specify any age restrictions, rent/lease terms, rental caps, or affordability/income limits. It applies to owners of lots, not tenants, and does not include rules for master-planned or condo communities.
