Summary
Beaverton's Development Code treats its own standards as a floor: recorded HOA covenants and CC&Rs can add stricter private restrictions, but when the City's Code is more restrictive than a private agreement, the Code controls.
The provisions of this Code shall be interpreted as minimum requirements. When this Code imposes a greater restriction than is required by other provisions of law, or by other regulations, resolutions, easements, covenants or agreements between parties, the provisions of this Code shall control.
3. Recorded instruments affecting real property shall comply with, and be enforceable only as provided by, Section 13,
Full Breakdown
Development Code § 10.18.2 makes every City standard a minimum requirement: private agreements, easements, and recorded HOA covenants may impose additional restrictions on top of it. But when the City's own rule is stricter than what a private agreement or other regulation requires, the Code's provision controls, not the covenant. Compliance with outside laws or private rules is determined by whoever administers them, not by the City as a condition of its own land-use approval, so day-to-day HOA rule enforcement stays a private matter between the association and its members, separate from Beaverton code enforcement.
Violations & Fines
A recorded covenant that conflicts with a stricter City of Beaverton standard is unenforceable to that extent; the City still enforces its own Development Code regardless of a private HOA rule saying otherwise.
