Eucalyptus Grove > Eucalyptus Grove Rules


Below is a summary of the rules which govern the Eucalyptus Grove, its owners, and its residents.

State Law

For the most part, the state has little to say about how we manage our condominium complex. There are a couple of notable exceptions, however. Specifically:

  • In the interest of ensuring open access, the Brown Act places restrictions on how and when meetings may be held, and how board members may conduct business.
  • A pair of laws, SB61 and SB1560, have greatly complicated election requirements. It is because of these laws that we were required to adopt a very cumbersome election procedure starting in 2007.
  • In January 2008, SB528 took effect. At board meetings, it prohibits the board from discussing topics which were not placed on the agenda in advance, expect in the case of urgent situations and emergencies.

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)

After state law, the strongest rules governing the Grove are those imposed by our Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. The complete text of the CC&Rs is reproduced here:

Bylaws

The CC&Rs are meant to establish a broad set of rules governing the complex; the bylaws are meant to fill in the practical details. The complete text of our bylaws is reproduced here:

Board Policies

Together, the CC&Rs and the bylaws cover a lot of ground. Nevertheless, they cannot address every situation, and inevitably leave much to interpretation. Whenever possible, the board establishes policies to fill in the gaps.
