The properties are part of the Country Mini Farms community and there are use restrictions that are tied to the properties. The CCRs specify that the properties may be used only for residential use and that no business can be conducted from any buildings on the property.
There are additional restrictions on using the properties for commercial service or storage.
These are relatively new owners in our community, and they didn't even have the consideration to come to a community meeting to discuss their plans.
We have had several attempts to amend the use restrictions, all of which were driven by attempted commercialization of properties in our community, and 80% of our community has voted against the changes. And it is typically new property owners who don't bother to do the research on the property and community and don't want to pay commercial land prices.
So far, we have fought off a soda-bottling plant, a wedding and events venue, a mini-storage facility, several fast-food restaurants and several others. We are a community of multi-acre irrigated properties. Properties such as these aren't being developed any longer, so we are going to protect what we have.
Our CCRs give every property owner the right to enforce the deed restrictions so anyone who wants to commercialize our community is in for a fight.
