What you should know about living in Acequia Jardin:
-
Acequia Jardin (“AJ”) is a cohousing community managed by its members. Decisions are made by a consent decision-making process called Dynamic Governance. All member-owners are expected to participate in the management and decisionmaking, plus abide by community norms.
-
All homes and Common Areas at AJ are part of the City-approved site plan that permanently regulates the drainage, structures, setbacks and landscaping. Individual and common lots must be in compliance with those regulatory plans.
-
Key restrictions in AJ HOA Covenants are below. We urge prospective buyers to read and familiarize themselves with the Covenants and Bylaws in their entirety.
-
Architectural review is required for all “improvements” —all textures, colors and materials must be of the original architectural design;
-
Pets are limited to 2 dogs per household, 3 pets in total. Pets cannot roam – dogs must be on a leash when out of the owner’s enclosed yard; cats must be kept indoors or in enclosed yards;
-
Pest control must use approved nontoxic methods;
-
No commercial businesses are permitted by current zoning ordinance. Home offices are allowed, but no signs or advertising is permitted;
-
Homes cannot be used as rental property—they are to be owner-occupied. If an owner is away, temporary leasing–for up to one year only–is permitted;
-
Smoking is not allowed anywhere outside an owner’s home.
