CC&Rs/Bylaws Revisions

The Balboa Terrace Homes Association must update its Governing documents. An association-wide vote to approve the revised Governing Documents is in progress. All ballots need to be received no later than 5 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2026.


 
 
 

Why Must BTHA Adopt Revised Governing Documents?

Our governing documents have remained largely unchanged since their inception in 1920, making them outdated and noncompliant with both state and federal laws. Additionally, these original documents did not anticipate the major shifts in state and local zoning laws that now threaten to fundamentally alter the character of Balboa Terrace. To ensure our community remains a historic single-family home enclave, it is essential to modernize our governing framework to protect against unwanted development pressures. Finally, California has adopted a robust set of laws regulating HOAs, primarily found in the Davis-Stirling Act. We need to update our governing documents to be compliant with that law and others that apply to HOAs.

A comprehensive summary of governing document changes and the rationale behind many of the updates is available in the summary below.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

FAMILY ZONING PLAN UPDATE

On Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the new Family Zoning Plan with a 7-4 vote. On Dec. 12 Mayor Lurie officially signed the Family Zoning Plan into law. It takes effect on Jan. 12, 2026.
