Summary
Parker's subdivision ordinance requires every homeowners association's governing documents to give the city the right to enjoin or enforce the restrictive covenants and bylaws. Under Code of Ordinances § 155.060(A)(2)(g), the City Attorney reviews HOA documents before final plat approval, so the city keeps a standing legal option if an association's own enforcement breaks down.

Any subdivision creating an area or amenity to be owned in common by the owners of lots within the subdivision shall require the establishment of a homeowners association prior to the approval of the final plat. ...

(g) Other city requirements as applicable, including the right of the city to enjoin, or enforce provisions of the restrictive covenants, or bylaws, as per the example available from the city staff.
Full Breakdown
Chapter 155 of the Parker Code of Ordinances, the city's subdivision regulations, requires that whenever a subdivision plat creates a common area or amenity, the developer must form a homeowners association before the city will approve the final plat. 060(A)(1) requires the association's governing documents, including its declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions and bylaws, to be submitted to the City Attorney for review for conformance with Chapter 155 and other city ordinances before that final plat is approved. ' In practice, the developer cannot record CC&Rs that shut the city out: Parker keeps a standing legal option to go to court and enjoin a violation of the recorded covenants or bylaws, or to enforce them directly, if the association itself will not or cannot.
The city's model HOA document, available from staff, sets the exact language plats must use to grant this right. 060(A)(2)(f) to collect dues and place liens; the city's enjoin/enforce right is a backstop tied to the covenant documents themselves, exercised through the City Attorney and Municipal Court rather than an HOA hearing panel.
Violations & Fines
Parker enforces Chapter 155 subdivision rules, including § 155.060, through § 155.999: anyone violating a provision of this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 per offense, and each day the violation continues counts as a separate offense. Before that stage, the City Attorney's document review is the real check: a plat cannot record without HOA documents carrying the required city enjoin/enforce language, so noncompliant covenants get sent back rather than approved.
