Yes, updating our CCRs and Bylaws is essential. The current documents, established in 1986, no longer fully comply with modern California laws or address contemporary community issues such as electric vehicles and short-term rentals. Updating these documents ensures legal compliance, enhances clarity and governance, and protects our community from potential legal and operational challenges.
According to our legal counsel, it normally takes 6 to 9 months to go through the restatement process—from start to vote, to recording the final document.
We understand there may be concerns regarding why we are undertaking this process again, especially given the work and effort done by previous boards. While this previous work will inform and speed up our restatement process, starting anew provides us with a few strategic advantages:
Ensures the process is thorough and up-to-date with 2024.
Comprehensive opportunity to resolve any outstanding community issues.
Provides new assistance with community Q&A, voting, and navigating the supermajority requirements.
More cost-effective when switching legal counsel, allowing for a bundled rate.
We will work closely with our new legal counsel to create parking policies that maximize convenience while ensuring equitable access for everyone in the community. We anticipate a process that will involve thorough review from our members.
It would be cost-prohibitive to reinterpret our existing governing documents to comply with all changes in California law. The restated documents will be entirely new and, with the active involvement of the community, entirely better suited to govern our community today.
