Home My WebLink AboutItem 6e - Approval of the Proposed Frist Amendment to CC & Rs for Sal Luis Obispo Clearbiew Estates HOA Item 6e Department: Community Development Cost Center: 4003 For Agenda of: 10/7/2025 Placement: Consent Estimated Time: N/A FROM: Timmi Tway, Community Development Director Prepared By: Gabriel Munoz-Morris, Supervising Civil Engineer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED FIRST AMENDMENT TO CC&R’S FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO CLEARVIEW ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Mayor to consent to the Proposed First Amendment to the Declaration of the CC&Rs of the San Luis Obispo Clearview Estates Homeowners Ass ociation, Inc. POLICY CONTEXT Pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for the Clearview Estates Homeowner’s Association (the “Association”), recorded on June 14, 1989, City Council approval is required for amendments to certain provisions thereof, including provisions related to maintenance by the Association, landscape maintenance, outdoor storage and use of garage and driveway areas, and parking. DISCUSSION Background Tentative Tract No. 1544 (Laguna Garden Homes – Phase III) located at 786 Miranda Drive (see Attachment B for vicinity map) was approved by the City Council on February 16, 1988, by Resolution No. 6396 (6394-6399). This subdivision includes 27 homes which front a privately maintained drive lane that connects Cordova Drive and Diablo Drive. The Resolution requires that the subdivider prepare CC&Rs containing various provisions, including: “No change in city-required provisions of the CC&R’s without prior City Council approval.” (Condition 8(h).) The CC&Rs satisfied this condition by including, as Section 17.05, the following requirement: “This Declaration shall not be amended with respect to the provisions of this Article XVII [City of San Luis Obispo Conditions], nor with respect to Section 6.01 relating to maintenance by the Association, Section 6.02 relating to landscape maintenance, Section 11.12 relating to outdoor storage and use of garage and driveway areas, or Section 11.11 relating to parking, without the consent of the City Council.” Page 61 of 638 Item 6e In September 2024, the Association requested the City’s approval for CC&R amendments proposed to revise wording for maintenance responsibilities by the Association in Section 6.02. In addition, the Association requested a revision to section 6.03 for the Owner’s Duties related to landscape and irrigation. The Association is also revising Section 6.04 to include stucco walls as part of individual owners’ maintenance obligations. The Current Association CC&Rs are included as Attachment D and the proposed CC&Rs, with deletions reflected as stricken words and additions reflected in bold italics, are included as Attachment E. The revised text provides clarification of maintenance responsibilities, including “The Association shall maintain, repair and replace the landscaping and irrigation within the front of the residential lots, including the areas in front of the residences and behind the retaining walls as set forth in Section 6.02, and the repair and replacement of the fences, gates, and concrete retaining walls surrounding (that is, located on the boundaries of), or wholly within, the residential lots, provided, however the Association shall not be responsible for maintenance of such fences, gates, and concrete retaining walls, including the routine power washing and painting of the same, as more fully described in Article VI, Section 6.04” The proposed amendments to Section 6.01 and 6.02 require the consent of the City Council pursuant to Section 17.05 of the CC&Rs. The changes do not impact the City’s maintenance responsibility in any way and are limited to changes in responsibility for private property owners and the Association. Accepting the Amendment of the CC&R’s Legal counsel for the Association submitted a letter titled “Requesting Written Consent of the City of San Luis Obispo for San Luis Obispo Clearview Estates Homeowners Association, Inc. Proposed First Amendment to CC&Rs.” (Attachment A). Staff has reviewed the request and is recommending that the City Co uncil approve the request because it clarifies maintenance responsibilities of private improvements within the association area which benefits the Association and individual property owners , with no financial or service impacts to the City. The Association has also provided staff copies of a notice mailed to residents informing them of the results of an owner vote in favor of the proposed change (Attachment C). Council approval is required because Section 17.05 of the current CC&R’s requires the Council to review and accept proposed amendments to the CC&Rs in order for the changes to become effective. The Association has also requested to modify section 17.05 of the CC&Rs so that the Director of Community Development will be authorized to approve modifications to City- required conditions in the future (rather than requiring Council review). Staff recommends accepting this modified approval mechanism as it is more consistent with City-approval requirements for modifications to other CC&Rs within the City. If Council approves the proposed modifications and staff’s recommendation, the Mayor will execute the certification found in Attachment A, consenting to the Proposed First Page 62 of 638 Item 6e Amendment to the Declaration of CC&Rs. Future changes would require the staff -level approval of the Director of Community Development. Previous Council or Advisory Body Action The City Council approved Tentative Tract No. 1544 (Laguna Garden Homes – Phase III) Located at 786 Miranda Drive, subject to enumerated conditions including th e recordation of CC&Rs. The City Council has not previously reviewed any amendments to the CC&Rs. CONCURRENCE The City Attorney’s Office concurs with the recommended action. FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: N/A Budget Year: N/A Funding Identified: N/A Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Total Budget Available Current Funding Request Remaining Balance Annual Ongoing Cost General Fund $ $ $ $ State Federal Fees Other: Total $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 There is no financial impact to the City associated with approving this amendment to CC&R’s for Clearwater Estates Homeowners Association. The requested changes do not result in increased maintenance responsibilities for the City and maintenance of all private improvements will remain the responsibility of either the individual property owners or the Association. ALTERNATIVES Do not authorize the Mayor to consent to the proposed amendment to the CC&R’s. Staff supports the proposed amendments to sections 6.01 and 6.02 shifting responsibility for certain maintenance obligations from the Association to individual property owners and clarifying maintenance responsibilities more accurately. Not approving the modification to Section 17.05 would require the HOA and staff to return to Council each time a modification to City-required conditions are proposed by the HOA.

Proposed First Amendment to CC&Rs Dear Ms. Dietrick: We are legal counsel for San Luis Obispo Clearview Estates Homeowners Association, Inc., a homeowner association overseeing a common interest development in the City of San Luis Obispo (the “Association”). The Association’s current Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions were recorded on June 14, 1989 (referred to herein as the “CC&Rs”) and in many areas do not make clear which party the maintenance and repair responsibility of the gates, concrete retaining walls, and landscaping maintenance of the lots. With our firm as legal counsel, the Association has undertaken a project to prepare proposed amendment to the CC&Rs that will make this clear (referred to below as the “Proposed CC&Rs”). Pursuant to Article XVII, Section 17.05 of the current CC&Rs, City approval is required for any amendments, which Section reads in relevant part as follows: “This Declaration shall not be amended with respect to the provisions of this Article XVII, nor with respect to Section 6.01 relating to maintenance by the Association, Section 6.02 relating to landscape maintenance, …without consent of the City Council.” The Proposed CC&Rs have been updated to clarify the maintenance and repair obligations of the parties as mentioned above. I am enclosing the Association’s Proposed CC&Rs, approval by the membership, as well as the existing 1989 CC&Rs for your ease of reference. On behalf of the Association, I respectfully request that the City indicate its written consent to the Proposed CC&Rs by signing and dating the signature envelope for your convenience. In addition to the original signature page being returned to my office, we would request that upon signing, a scanned copy be sent to jkhalili@berdingweil.com .
