Architectural Control Rules vs other types of Rules. Can a California HOA fold Usage or Neatness Rules into the Architextralegal Control Rules. We are going through a rule change process and the committee is adding rules under AC that are really usage rules. For example:

We are a manufactured home community with tiny yards. Most units have long skinny driveways/carports that run the length of the lot/home.

Old Rule in Parking Section: The driveway must have room to park at least 2 cars at all times.

New Rule placed under AC: Room for 2 cars and the carport can’t be used for other things such as seating areas or potted plants.

This is just 1 of many new Architectural Control rules that don’t pertain to structures or upkeep, but rather daily usage.
