Balcones Creek Residential Community, Inc.

What Balcones Creek Residential Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a development area declaration for part of the Balcones Creek master-planned residential community in Boerne, TX. It's one of several layered documents; owners must also follow the master covenant and applicable design guidelines. This document binds owners of lots in this specific section to rules about use, maintenance, and construction.

• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not visible, do not generate extra traffic, and comply with other stated conditions.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months and in writing. Owners must provide lessees a copy of the governing documents and notify the association within 10 days of the lease's effective date.
• Parking & vehicles: Trailers, boats, campers, inoperable vehicles, and commercial vehicles must be kept in an enclosed garage or screened from view. No parking in yards. Carports are not allowed.
• Pets: No more than four cats and dogs in total per lot. Only domestic household pets are permitted; exotic animals, farm animals, and breeding/kennels are prohibited.
• Architectural review & construction: All improvements (including fences, driveways, and exterior changes) require prior written approval from the Balcones Creek Reviewer. Detailed restrictions cover height, roofing materials, fencing, landscaping, solar devices, rainwater harvesting, and more.
• Signs & flags: Most signs require approval. Exceptions include small security signs, one temporary For Sale/For Lease sign (max 5 sq ft), small religious items, political signs (allowed only 90 days before to 10 days after election), and no-soliciting signs. Flags of the U.S., Texas, military branches, and one college flag may be displayed on approved flagpoles.
• Maintenance & landscaping: Owners must keep their entire lot and improvements in good condition, including mowing, pruning, watering, and upkeep. Owners also maintain the street trees and landscaping between the lot boundary and the street pavement.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document — a specific Development Area Declaration. It does not contain the full set of rules for the Balcones Creek community; owners must also follow the Balcones Creek Master Covenant and applicable Design Guidelines (e.g., 55' Non-Garden or 55' Garden Lot guidelines). Items like age restrictions, assessments, and association structure are in those other documents.
