COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR GREENBRAE PROPERTY OWNERS
​
Prior to the Schultz Company completing any residence within any of the 17 Greenbrae subdivisions, that Company had prepared and recorded Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which set forth certain guidelines for a consistent pattern for the mutual enjoyment of each subsequent purchaser’s property within the given subdivision. These "CC&R’s" run with the property and become binding on each property owner immediately upon the acquisition of any Greenbrae property. You will note that the CC&R’s are referred to in your title insurance policy. While the terms and conditions of the CC&R’s for the 17 subdivisions in Greenbrae vary slightly, the general intent of the CC&R’s is consistent.

The duty of supervision compliance with the CC&R’s on all Greenbrae property owners passed many years ago from the Schultz Company to the Greenbrae Property Owners Association, P.O. Box 383, Kentfield, California 94904. Any communication with the Association should be sent to this address.

The following summary of the CC&R’s is generalized in an attempt to present the overall intent of the 17 different sets of CC&R’s. Accordingly, any specific questions you may have as to how the CC&R’s affect you directly should be referenced to the set of CC&R’s recorded against your own parcel of property. You may obtain a copy of your particular CC&R’s from the County Recorder in the Marin County Civic Center.

SUMMARY
(1) All lots are restricted to private one-family dwellings, and only one dwelling house shall be built on any lot. All exteriors of each dwelling shall be of a generally recognized type of architecture and shall be painted or stained as a part of and at the time of erection. NO COMMERCIAL USES OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED.

(2) Plans and specifications covering all structures, including alterations and additions subsequent to completion of construction, must be submitted to the Association, in duplicate, for approval before construction, including excavation is started. Good design and architecture will be required for approval. Structures with more than one street frontage must have all such fronts specially treated.

(3) Conservatories, greenhouses, private detached garages, etc., may be built provided they are only one story in height, of an ornamental character, and in accordance with approved plans. They shall be finished in substantially the same material as the main dwelling.

(4) No main portion of any dwelling unit or outbuilding shall be built within the front or side setback lines established nor within those strips of land set aside for public utility easements. The location of such setbacks lines should be verified from the CC&R’s as well as the Marin County Planning Commission or the City of Larkspur. Exceptions may be made for certain garages. Please note that the setback footage is determined from the original plans of where the street curb should be which is not necessarily where the street curb physically exists at present.

(5) Trees, on public land and on private land (not artificially planted) are a major attraction to the Greenbrae area. Accordingly, no such trees shall be cut, trimmed or removed without the prior written consent of the Association. Artificially planted trees may not be allowed to grow so as to block views.
