Summary
Mission treats HOA deed restrictions as private matters: the city gives HOA input "due weight" but is never legally bound to enforce a CC&R over its own ordinances.
It is hereby declared that the HOA is a private organization with the primary intent of preserving the integrity of their private deed restrictions. The City of Mission may give the HOA's input its due weight. However, in the city's final judgment to resolve the infringement, the city must employ prevailing ordinances and public policies to do so. It is declared that the city is not legally bound by any private HOA directive, mandate, or recommendation.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 31).
Full Breakdown
In its zoning setback contingency protocol, Mission's code spells out the CC&R/city split directly: an HOA is a private organization enforcing its own deed restrictions, and the city will pass along a courtesy notice to a registered HOA contact when it processes a setback contingency case. But the city's final call rests on its own ordinances and public policy, not the HOA's covenants, the code states outright that Mission is not legally bound by any private HOA directive, mandate, or recommendation.
Violations & Fines
Not applicable: this provision defines authority, not a violation standard. The city enforces its own zoning/building code regardless of what an HOA's CC&Rs say; CC&R violations themselves are a private civil matter between the HOA and the homeowner, not something Mission code enforcement cites for.
