Proposed CC&R Amendments – January 31st

Scroll Down to see the latest updates.

The Board of Directors is considering making changes to the community’s CC&Rs, specifically to the sections on commercial/recreational vehicles and garage doors. Any changes to the CC&Rs require the approval of at least 75% of the membership. We’d appreciate any input you, the residents of Cottonwood Canyon Hills, have regarding commercial/recreational vehicles and garage door restrictions within the community.

The survey is now CLOSED!

UPDATE [3/1/23]:

Earlier this year we sent out a survey to gauge the community’s opinion on the current CC&Rs in regard to commercial vehicles, recreation vehicles, and garage doors. We had an astounding 827 responses. Click HERE to view the results — which can also be found in the Notices folder on the Resident Portal.

The Board of Directors will hold a special election on Thursday, April 20th, to consider changing the community’s CC&Rs, specifically to the sections on commercial/recreational vehicles and garage doors. Any changes to the CC&Rs require the approval of at least 75% of the membership through District Delegate Voting.

The proposed CC&R amendments will be included in the ballot mailer going out later this month. The current copy of the CC&Rs can be found in the Governing Documents folder on the Resident Portal.

UPDATE [3/22/23]:

The ballots for the proposed CC&R amendments have been mailed out! The special membership meeting for the purpose of voting to amend the CC&Rs is scheduled for Thursday, April 20th. The meeting will begin at 4:00 PM in the Cottonwood Canyon Hills Clubhouse at 31989 HOLLYHOCK WAY, LAKE ELSINORE, CA 92532.

Ballots must be received by Ballot Box by Tuesday, April 18th. Ballot drop-off will be available starting at 3:45 PM. A recess will be called while the ballots are counted. The election results will be announced after the regular session of the Board of Directors. Stay tuned for the results!
