Alleged Violations

CC&Rs Article III, sec. 1

Outcome Summary

Petitioner's request to find the Association in violation of CC&Rs Article III section 1 was denied because Petitioner failed to sustain his burden of proof. The Association Board acted within its authority to maintain and improve Common Areas (painting pickleball lines on one tennis court), and this action did not violate Petitioner's easement or enjoyment rights.

Why this result: Petitioner failed to sustain the burden of proof that the Association violated the CC&Rs. The material facts showed the Board was authorized to manage and maintain the Common Areas, and access to tennis play was not denied, as one court remained available at all times.
