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.
