Town Hall Meeting Recap and Next Steps

3/28/2025

Meeting Recording, Presentation Slides, Next Steps
Thank you to everyone who attended the SCA Board’s Town Hall, focusing on the Third Amendment to the Division 8 CC&Rs (A3). The meeting provided background information and allowed Division 8 property owners to discuss potential next steps related to the Notice of Invalidity recorded against the amendment. Attached are the presentation materials and video recording from the meeting for those who could not attend.

SCA Presentations:

Division 8 Resident Statements and Testimonies
Resident Submitted Questions

Submissions from Residents:

Next Steps for Division 8 OwnersThree options were discussed:
  1. Properly Adopt A3 with notarized signatures from 100% of property owners:

    Managed by the Division 8 Door Knock “View Crew”: [email protected].

  2. Draft and Properly Adopt A4 overriding A3:

    Since Division 8 property owners manage their own CC&Rs and the A3 amendment, the SCA Board will only be involved if requested. If at least 20% of Division 8 property owners email [email protected] requesting SCA support, we will assist accordingly.


  3. Pursue Declaratory Judgment from Court to determine A3 validity:

    Attorney Jessica Goldman was in attendance and is representing a growing group of owners to seek legal action declaring that the Third Amendment is not lawful and to clear it from their title reports. If you would like to join, they can be contacted at [email protected].


Going forward, to streamline communication, future updates on D8A3 will be sent only to Division 8 owners.

We appreciate your engagement and commitment to your community. Please reach out with any questions.
