There are internal deed restrictions and external deed restrictions.
Internal deed restrictions: how many people can reside in the dwelling. What the roof may (or may not) be made of. Whether or not a wall can be knocked out to expand a room, or a non-compliant bedroom can be added by splitting the living room with a wall. Who gets to have guest passes, and who can have a residents' pass. How old the residents must be, or must not be, or have permission to be.
External deed restrictions: whether or not and when you may or may not put up a fence, signs, or lawn ornaments, or paint your house purple, dig up your driveway, expand your front porch toward the street, the length of your grass, the existence of weeds, etc.
Community Standards, through the VCDD, handle external deed restrictions.
The Developer is in charge of internal deed restrictions. The Developer has taken an intentional back seat on enforcement of internal deed restrictions. They simply don't enforce them at all. But they are the only ones authorized to do so.
