A homeowners association (as defined in § 23.01.004), duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California, shall be formed for each new major subdivision; and may be formed for a minor subdivision. The covenants and restrictions for the subdivision shall provide for its formation and operation and delineate the rights and obligations of the association, its directors and its members (which must include the right of the association, through its members, to levy assessments that are a legal obligation of members and a lien on subdivided property owned by members of the association). The homeowners association shall be activated at or before the time of approval of the final or parcel map by the Board of Supervisors, for the purpose of street lighting, street sweeping, road maintenance, storm drainage, landscaping maintenance and other services directly related to the subdivision. An applicant may propose another option to developing a homeowners association. If so, the applicant’s request shall be brought before the Board of Supervisors, reviewed and approved prior to or during approval of the final or parcel map, and any approved alternative shall be activated at or before the time of approval of the final or parcel map by the Board of Supervisors.
