The foundation for any high quality Homeowner's Association is understanding the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and the cooperation of the property owners. Each property owner should have received a copy of the CC&RS during the purchase of property. If necessary, you may obtain a replacement copy for a small fee. We urge you to review the CC&RS to gain a full understanding of the community organization and operation.

Pursuant to the CC&RS, the Association, by a majority vote of the Board, has adopted the following Rules and Regulations, which shall be known as Continental Country Club Rules and Regulations.

The procedures for architectural submittal, addressing violations, and a fine schedule have been included. The Rules and Regulations do not take the place of the CC&RS All owners must comply with all of the provisions of the CC&RS The Rules and Regulations are designed and written to amplify and clarify the provisions of the CC&RS regarding Architectural Control, lot usage, and exterior appearance.
