Restrictions are created when a neighborhood is developed to maintain property value. The document literally restricts the subsequent owners of the property to certain codes for building and co-existing. For example, restrictions would state that none of the houses in a neighborhood could be taller than three stories; or that livestock could not be kept in the back yard of a particular subdivision.
The restrictions for the Northridge Estates subdivision are linked below. Unit 2 comprises Coach Station and the 100 block of Cottage Grove. Units 2 A through C comprise the remainder of the subdivision.
