The CC&Rs have been amended several times over the years.

The purpose of the ARB is to preserve and enhance the property values and attractiveness of the Chapel Ridge neighborhood. In general, any new construction, alterations or modifications to houses, fences, walls, plantings, and other structures must be approved in advance by the ARB as stipulated by the neighborhood covenants. This includes, but is not limited to, home additions, accessory buildings, fences, decks, tree removal, and repainting. It also includes rules regarding permitted signage for undeveloped lots, lots under construction, and developed lots.
- Community-Wide Standards
As property owners, we are committed to preserving and enhancing the physical and natural beauty of Chapel
Ridge and the quality of life that makes our community a desirable place to live. As individuals, we have
responsibilities separate from those of the Board of Directors, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) and the
management company which are laid out in the Community Wide Standards (CWS).
