                                                A numerical value shall be established for each Unit and the total number of all numerical values shall be determined and the proportionate undivided interest in the Common Areas of each respective Unit shall be determined by the ratio that the individual Unit’s numerical value bears to the total numerical value of all Units.  In determining numerical value the following formula shall apply:

Section 7.8      Regular Assessments.

A.        Not fewer than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the beginning of the HOA’s Fiscal Year, the Board shall estimate the total amount required to fund the anticipated Common Expenses for the next succeeding Fiscal Year, and shall prepare and distribute to all Owners a budget.  If the Board fails to distribute a budget accordingly, Regular Assessments may not be increased for that Fiscal Year, except with vote or written assent of a majority of a quorum of Owners.

 

B.         The HOA’s total annual estimated expenses (less projected income from sources other than assessments) will be the aggregate Regular Assessment for each Fiscal Year, provided that the Board may not impose a Regular Assessment that is more than 20% greater than the Regular Assessment for the HOA’s immediately preceding fiscal year without the vote or written assent of a majority of a quorum of Owners.

A.        Part of the Development dedicated to and accepted by a governmental agency;

 

B.         The Common Area; and

 

C.        Any real property owned or leased by the HOA.

 

Section 7.12    Effect of Non-Payment of Assessments.  As more particularly provided in California Civil Code Sections 1367, at any time after any assessments, including Reimbursement Assessments, have become delinquent the HOA may file for recording in the Office of the San Diego County Recorder a notice of delinquency/assessment lien (“lien”) as to the Unit.  The lien must state all amounts which have become delinquent, interest which has accrued, costs (including attorney fees) and the amount of any assessments relating to the Unit which are due and payable as of the date of recordation.  The lien must also include a description of the Unit and the name of the record or reputed record Owner.  The lien must be signed by an officer of the HOA, or by the Association's attorney.

 

Immediately upon recording a lien, the amount set forth in the notice will become a lien upon the Unit described therein.  Delinquent assessments shall be subject to a statutory late fee of $10.00 per month or greater if the statutes permit, and they shall also accrue interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, commencing thirty (30) days after the assessment becomes due.  The lien will then secure all other payments, assessments, costs (including attorney fees), penalties and interest which become due and payable with respect to the Unit following recording, until all amounts secured thereby are fully paid or otherwise satisfied.

 

If the delinquent assessments and all other assessments which have become due and payable with respect to the Unit, together with all costs (including attorney fees) and interest which have accrued on the amounts are fully paid or otherwise satisfied prior to the completion of a sale held to foreclose the HOA’s lien, the HOA shall record a subsequent notice stating the satisfaction and releasing the lien.

 

Section 7.13    Foreclosure of Assessment Lien.  Each assessment lien may be foreclosed upon in

the same manner as the foreclosure of a mortgage upon real property, or may be enforced by sale, and to that end a power of sale is hereby conferred upon the HOA.

 

Section 7.14    Acceptance of Payments by the HOA.  Payments to the HOA must be applied to the Owner’s account in the following priority:

 

A.        Reimbursement Assessments;

 

                        B.         Interest and late charges;

 

C.        Fees and costs;

 

D.        Special Assessments; and,

 

E.                  Regular Assessments.

 

Section 7.15    Uniform Rate Assessments.  Regular and Special Assessments shall be fixed at a uniform rate for each Unit.

 

Section 7.16    Non-Payment of Assessments.

 

A.        Any assessment not paid on the date due is delinquent.

ARTICLE IX  Renting or Leasing

 

Section 9.1      Renting or Leasing.  Occupancy of a Unit by any person who pays the Owner of the Unit consideration for living in the Unit shall constitute renting or leasing and shall be governed, in part, by this Article IX.  As used in these CC&Rs, any reference to any form of the word “lease” means the corresponding form of the word “rent”, and vice versa. Any form of subleasing shall be prohibited and all leases shall be for at least twenty-five (25) days in duration.  No Owner may transfer or otherwise convey the right to use, occupy or possess, or the use, occupancy, or possession of a Unit for a period of twenty-five (25) consecutive calendar days or less. 

 

Section 9.2      Terms.  Leasing a Unit must be pursuant to a written document, which is subject to the Governing Documents and the following provisions:

 

A.        The HOA may request reasonable information from Owners about tenants, including the names of the tenants and the terms and conditions of the lease.  Owners shall provide a copy of each lease to the Association in advance of the effective date of the lease.

 

B.         Leases must contain the following language, and if it is not expressly contained in the lease then the language is deemed to be incorporated into the lease by existence of these CC&Rs.  All Owners, and Tenants by occupancy of a Unit, agree to the incorporation of the following terms into the lease, and application of the following to the landlord-tenant relationship:

 

(1)        Units may not be rented for transient purposes.  All rentals must be for a term of no fewer than 25 consecutive days in any 1 calendar year.

 

(2)        Upon written request from the HOA, Tenants must pay to the Association that portion of the rent necessary to satisfy any obligation of the Owner of the Unit to the HOA for payment of delinquent assessments.  All payments thus made will reduce the Tenant's obligation to Owner of the Unit by like amount.  Payment of assessments is deemed necessary for the habitability of the Units.

 

(3)        Owners must give Tenants copies of these CC&Rs, the Bylaws, and any Rules.  Tenants shall comply with all provisions of the Governing Documents, and violation thereof will constitute a default under any lease.  If a  Tenant or Resident violates the Governing Documents resulting in a Reimbursement Assessment, all Owners, Residents and Tenants associated with the Unit will be jointly and severally liable to pay the assessment.

 

Section 9.3      Delegation of Right to Evict Tenant.  Owners hereby delegate and assign to the HOA the power and authority of enforcement against Tenants for breach of a lease resulting from violation of the Governing Documents, including the power and authority to evict the Tenant on behalf of and for the benefit of the Owner.  The HOA must give the Owner and the Tenant thirty (30) days written notice prior to initiating eviction proceedings.  If the Association proceeds to evict a Tenant, all costs, including attorney fees and court costs associated with the eviction may become a Reimbursement Assessment payable by the Owner of the Unit.

 

Section 9.4      Use of Common Area.  Owners transfer and assign to Tenant(s), for the duration of lawful tenancy, all rights and privileges that the Owners have to use the Common Area.

 

Section 9.5      Existing Leases.  Leases existing on the effective date of these CC&Rs are permitted to continue in accordance with the terms of the Original Declaration.  However, any assignment, extension, renewal, or modification of any lease agreement, including, but not limited to, changes in the terms, rental amount or duration of occupancy, will be deemed a termination of the existing lease for purposes of application of these CC&Rs.

 

Section 9.6      Non-Application of Article.  This Article does not apply to any leasing transaction entered into by the holder of any first mortgage on a Unit which becomes the Owner of the Unit through foreclosure or any other means pursuant to the satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage.

 

 

ARTICLE X    Alternative Dispute Resolution

 

Section 10.1.   Request for Resolution.  Except for a request for a temporary restraining order, injunctive relief and collection of assessments, prior to the filing of a civil action by either the Association or a Member of the Association not in excess of $5,000.00, related to the enforcement of the Governing Documents, the parties shall submit their dispute to a form of alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration.  The form of alternative dispute resolution chosen may be binding or non-binding at the option of the parties.  Any party to such a dispute may initiate this process by serving on another party to the dispute a Request for Resolution.  Service of the Request for Resolution must be by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by personally serving the request on the party.  The Request for Resolution must include:

Section 10.4.   Cost of Alternative Dispute Resolution.  The cost of the alternative dispute resolution hearing must be borne equally by the parties.  Refusal to share costs equally constitutes rejection of alternative dispute resolution, regardless of prior acceptance.

 

Section 10.5.   Failure to Comply.  Failure of a Member to comply with the pre-filing requirements of these CC&Rs and California Civil Code Section 1354 may result in the loss of  a party’s rights to pursue another Member or the HOA regarding enforcement of the Governing Documents.

ARTICLE XI  Rights of Lenders

 

Section 11.1    Liability for Unpaid Assessments.  Any First Lender/Trust Deed Holder who obtains title to a Unit pursuant to the remedies provided in a Mortgage or a foreclosure is not liable for unpaid assessments or charges against the Unit which accrued prior to the acquisition of title.

 

Section 11.2    Subordination of Lien.  Every lien created pursuant to the Governing Documents is  subordinate and subject to the lien of any real property mortgage or deed of trust encumbering any interest in a Unit given in good faith for value.  If a lender acquires title to any interest in a Unit by judicial foreclosure, and thereafter conveys the interest in the Unit, any real property mortgage or deed of trust received by that lender as security for all or a portion of the purchase price of the interest in the Unit will be incontrovertibly deemed “given for value”.

 

Section 11.3    Superiority of Liens.  Notwithstanding any other provision in these CC&Rs, any lien created by or pursuant to the Governing Documents, including liens securing payments of assessments, accruing prior to sale of a Unit by a real property lender and prorated over the period of the lender's holding of title to the interest in a Unit is a lien superior to the lien of a real property mortgage or deed of trust received to secure a portion of the purchase price.  All covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Declaration are binding upon and effective against any Owner whose title is derived through foreclosure at a trustee sale.

 

Section 11.4    Mortgage Protection.  The liens authorized hereunder or by law are subject and subordinate to the rights of the obligee of any indebtedness secured by any recorded first mortgage upon a Unit made in good faith and for value, provided that after foreclosure of any mortgage, the Board has the authority to create a lien on the interest of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale to secure all assessments levied hereunder for or payable during any period after the date of the foreclosure sale, which lien will have the same effect and be enforced in the same manner as provided herein in the case of other liens for unpaid assessments.

 

Section 11.5    Additional Lien Rights.  No amendment to any part of this Declaration will affect the rights of the mortgagee of any mortgage, recorded prior to the recordation of the amendment, who does not join in the execution thereof.  The holder of the trust deed is entitled to written notification from the HOA, 30 days prior to the effective date of any change in the Governing Documents, upon request.  The holder of the trust deed is entitled to written notification from the HOA of any default by the trustor of any Unit in the performance of the trustor's obligation under the Governing Documents, which is not cured within 30 days, upon request.

 

Any beneficiary under a deed of trust which comes into possession of a Unit pursuant to the remedies provided by law, the conditions of the trust deed, or by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is exempt from any right of first refusal or other restriction on the sale or rental of the Unit involved, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the age of Unit occupants.

 

Any holder of the trust deed which comes into possession of a Unit pursuant to the remedies provided by law, the deed of trust, or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, shall take the property, free of any claims for unpaid assessments or charges against the Unit which accrue prior to the time the holder comes into possession of the Unit (except for claims for a pro rata share of such assessments or charges to all Units including the subject Unit).

 

Unless all holders of first trust deed liens on individual Units have given their prior written approval, the Association must employ a professional manager, may not change the pro rata interest or obligation of any Unit for purposes of levying assessments, may not, or by act or omission to act, seek to abandon the planned residential development status of the Development, except in the case of substantial loss to the Common Area.

 

No breach of these CC&Rs nor the enforcement of any lien provisions herein will defeat or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith and for value, but all of these covenants, conditions and restrictions shall be binding upon and effective against any Owner whose title is derived through foreclosure or trustee's sale, or otherwise.

 

 

ARTICLE XII         Insurance, Condemnation and Destruction

 

Section 12.1    Insurance.  The HOA shall maintain insurance policies as follows:

 

A.        The Common Area must be insured against loss by fire and the risks covered by a Standard All Risk of Loss perils insurance policy under an extended coverage casualty policy.

 

                       B.         All personal property owned by the HOA must be insured with coverage in the maximum insurable fair market value as determined annually by an insurance carrier selected by the HOA.  If a loss occurs and there is insufficient insurance to cover such loss, any shortfall cost may be assessed to the Owners as a Special Assessment.

Section 12.4    Owners Insurance.  Each Owner shall maintain property insurance with respect to the interior and personal contents of his or her Unit, and any other item that the Association is not obligated to maintain or repair.  In addition, any improvements made by an Owner within his or her Unit or, where permitted, on his or her Exclusive Use Common Area shall be separately insured by the Owner, but the insurance is to be limited to the type and nature of coverage commonly known as “Tenant Improvements.”  However, policies obtained by an Owner or Resident shall include a waiver of subrogation clause acceptable to the Board and to any first Mortgagee. 

Section 12.5    Rights and Duties of Owners to Insure.  It is  mandatory that each Owner maintain insurance for the contents in their Unit and any other item which the Association is not obligated to maintain or repair, including but not limited to, the insurance proposed in this Article XII.  However, any such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation clause acceptable to the Board of Directors and to any first Mortgagee.

 

Section 12.6    Payment of Premiums and Deductible.  Insurance premiums for the master policy shall be a common expense to be included in the monthly assessments levied by the Association.  Each Owner shall be responsible for payment of any deductible amount for any loss to his or her Unit or component which he/she is responsible to maintain.

 

ARTICLE XIII        Partition

 

Section 13.1    Partition Prohibited; Exceptions.  Owners are prohibited from partitioning or in any other way severing or separating any part of the ownership of a Unit from any of the other part of the ownership of a Unit, except upon the showing that:

 

A.  3 years after damage or destruction to the Development which renders a material part thereof unfit for its use prior thereto, the Development has not been rebuilt or repaired substantially to its state prior to its damage or destruction; or,

 

B.   3/4 or more of the Development is destroyed or substantially damaged and Owners holding in the aggregate more than a 50% interest in the Common Area are opposed to repair or restoration of the Development; or,

 

 

C.     The Development has been in existence in excess of 50 years, it is obsolete, and Owners holding in the aggregate more than a 50% interest in the Common Area are opposed to repair or restoration of the Development.

 

If any of the forgoing conditions are met the net proceeds from the sale and any proceeds of insurance carried by the HOA must be divided among the Units within Development based on the ratio that the square footage of the floor area of each Unit bears to the total square footage of the floor area of all Units.  Nothing herein may be deemed to prevent a judicial partition as between co-tenants.  No Unit may be partitioned or subdivided without the prior written approval of the Mortgagee holding the first Mortgage on that Unit.

 

Section 13.2    Power of Attorney.  Owners grant the HOA an irrevocable power of attorney to sell the Development for the benefit of all the Owners upon partition as described in this Article.  This power of attorney, however, does not apply to the Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs, or an officer of the United States of America.

Section 14.2    Reciprocal Easements.  By virtue of DECLARANT’s inclusion of Lot 4 in the single, common operation scheme set forth herein, the Owner of a Unit located on Lot 4 shall have a non-exclusive easement for the benefit of, and appurtenant to, his Unit to use the recreational and landscaping facilities situated on other Lots or Parcels within Coronado Shores which have been included in the common operation scheme, and the Owner of a living unit located on such other Lots or Parcels within Coronado Shores which have been included in the common operation scheme shall have a reciprocal, non-exclusive easement for the benefit of, and appurtenant to, his living unit to use the recreational and landscaping facilities situated on Lot 4.  Said reciprocal, non-exclusive easements of use shall include reciprocal, non-exclusive rights of ingress and egress to and from the recreational and landscaping facilities and shall be subject to the same limitations, rules, regulations and admission or other fees imposed upon the Owners of living units located on the Lots and Parcels on which the recreational and landscaping facilities are located.  Any owner or lessee of a living unit located on a Lot or Parcel within Coronado Shores which shall be included within the common operation scheme described herein and who, therefore, shall enjoy the non-exclusive easement of use described herein, may delegate his right of enjoyment to Members of his family who reside with him in his living unit, and to his tenants or contract purchasers who reside in his living unit.

 

Section 14.3    Landscaping And Recreational Committee Membership.

DECLARANT created a Landscaping and Recreational Committee for the purposes of administering the single, common operation of landscaping and recreational facilities as contemplated by Article XIV hereof when it determined and designated that Lot 2, Coronado Shores Map No. 6641, was included with Lot 3 in said single, common operation scheme.  The Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall be constituted as follows:  the Owners of the Project shall name one person, who shall be a Member of the Board of Directors of CORONADO SHORES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION NO. 10, to represent the Association on the Committee; and the Members of the condominium associations of Lots 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 and Parcels A, B, C and D which are included in said single, common operation shall also name one person each who shall be a Member of the board of directors of their respective association, to represent their association on the Committee.  In each case, the person so named shall be deemed a qualified Member of the Landscaping and Recreational Committee when the Members of the condominium  association naming him shall have filed an acknowledged Notice of the naming of such Committee Member in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County.  A Landscaping and Recreational Committee Member shall hold Committee Membership for so long as he shall be living, competent and perform his duties as a Landscaping and Recreational Committee Member, and shall remain a Member of the board of directors of the property owners’ association he represents, and so long as the Members of the condominium association who named him have not filed a superseding acknowledged nomination of another person in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County.  In the event of a vacancy occurring upon the Committee, said vacancy shall be filled by the Lot or Parcel for which the Membership is vacant within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the vacancy.  If the Members of the condominium association of said Lot or Parcel fail to fill such vacancy within said period, the remaining Members of the Committee may fill such vacancy by majority vote and by filing an acknowledged Notice of the naming of the person chosen by such vote in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, and the person so named to fill such vacancy shall serve for one year from the date of the recordation of the document as above provided, and thereafter until the Members of the condominium association of the Lot or Parcel affected shall name a successor in the manner above provided.

 

Section 14.4    Duties.  The Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall have the duty and authority on behalf of, and as agent for, the various property owners’ associations represented thereon (i) to cause all necessary work to be done and performed to maintain, manage, operate, repair and replace landscaping and recreational facilities on the Lots or Parcels within Coronado Shores that DECLARANT shall determine and designate to be included in a single, common operation of landscaping and recreational facilities in accordance with the concept outlined in Section 14.1hereof; (ii) supervise and approve the costs and expenses of such maintenance, management, operation, repair and replacement; and (iii) allocate to each Lot or Parcel which is so operated its share of said costs and expenses on the basis provided for in said Section 14.1. In performing this function, the Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall have the power to enter into contracts on behalf of said property owners’ associations as are necessary to carry out the single, common operation contemplated by Section 14.1 hereof.

 

Section 14.5    No Power To Assess.

                                    The Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall have no power to levy assessments upon the owners of the individual lots or Parcels.  It is intended solely that the Committee perform the duties outlined in Section 14.4hereof and that the various property owners’ associations to which a share of the costs and expenses of maintenance, management, operation and replacement of landscaping and recreational facilities operated as a single, common operation are allocated shall regard said share of said costs and expenses as Common Expenses or its equivalent, and shall assess each individual owner in each Lot or Parcel his proportionate share of said costs and expenses allocated to the Lot or Parcel as part of a Common Assessment or its equivalent.

 

Section 14.6    Meetings.      

The meetings of the Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall be held upon notice from the Chairman, who shall be elected at the first organization meeting thereof which shall be called by DECLARANT.  The presence in person or by proxy of at least 50% of the Committee Membership shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings.  If any meeting cannot be held because a quorum is not present, the Landscaping and Recreational Committee Members present may adjourn the meeting to a time not less than 48 hours, nor more than thirty (30) days from the time the original meeting was called, at which second meeting the quorum shall be 25% of the Landscaping and Recreational Committee Members.  All actions of the Landscaping and Recreational Committee shall require only a simple majority of the votes of the Committee Membership present at any meeting at which a required quorum is present.  All meetings shall be held within the City limits of Coronado and shall be held on a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday and shall be held, if during the day, between 1:30 and 5:00 P.M., and if at night, between 7:30 and 9:30 P.M.

Section 16.6    Required Amendments.  If any law applicable to the Development is enacted after the date of recording of these CC&Rs which directly contradicts, restricts, limits or changes any provision contained herein, these CC&Rs will be deemed amended by operation of law.  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an amendment occurs by operation of law the Board may, by unanimous written consent, cause a document describing the amendment by operation of law to be distributed to the Members and recorded with the San Diego County Recorder’s Office as an amendment to these CC&Rs.

 

Section 16.7    Extension of Declaration.  This Declaration will run with and bind the land as an equitable servitude for a term of 20 years from the date of recording, and automatically be extended for successive periods of  10 years, unless all Owners have executed and recorded a written instrument in which it is agreed that these CC&Rs terminate.
