[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to the club. Long story short if you bought a home in a single family home zoned neighborhood, you might end next to a new apartment building with no parking. If you are against it you will be called racist. Good luck!

Could neighborhood associations form HOAs that protect the ability to develop multifamily housing? If so, that will definitely happen in many of the wealthier Bethesda/CC neighborhoods

I would pay a lot of money in annual HOA dues to accomplish this.[/quote]
HOAs do not have authority over zoning.[/quote]

That’s not universally true and in most places where they have de-zoned areas they do have exemptions.

This is just one example…this is why you have to start taking action early.

“Exempt from those requirements, however, are homeowner associations and other “common interest communities” that have internal contracts or documents governing their zoning rules. Common interest communities include both sprawling planned developments and smaller subdivisions and condos.

Because homeowner associations and common interest communities have preexisting, legally binding contracts regarding their zoning rules, the Legislature can’t change those, said Rep. Jessica Bateman, D-Olympia, the bill’s lead sponsor.”[/quote]
