Bell's vote is typical of the type of governance that comes from HOAs, Condo Associations and CDDs once they are turned over to the owners. You cannot expect representatives to fully disassociate themselves from their neighbors. It is inevitable that they will vote to keep the peace in their neighborhoods.
This effect is "special interests" manipulating votes at its most local level.
This decision does not remove deed restrictions. It just formalized a refusal to enforce them. Investments have been made, in part, due to the restrictions with a full expectation that the CDDs will enforce the restrictions. It is a breach of fiduciary responsibility for the CDDs to refuse to protect our investments. Now we stand to incur legal fees to defend an indefensible position.
