Covenants and conditions are best described as

Zoning laws are governmental regulations that dictate how land can be used within a particular area, and they can sometimes conflict with private covenants. While covenants can impose additional restrictions, they do not inherently prevail over zoning regulations, as zoning laws are established by local governments and have broader authority in land use planning.

Police power refers to the authority of government to regulate for the public good, such as health, safety, and welfare. Covenants and conditions are not exercises of police power; rather, they are private agreements that individuals or groups enforce among themselves, independent of government authority.

Covenants and conditions typically run with the land, meaning they are binding on future owners of the property as long as they are properly recorded. This characteristic ensures that restrictions or obligations remain in effect beyond the original parties involved in the covenant.
