In a platted subdivision there may be separate covenants, conditions, and restrictions. If this is the case, and they are stricter than the local zoning ordinances, which of the following is typically true?

This statement is incorrect because local zoning ordinances generally do not take precedence over stricter CC&Rs. When CC&Rs impose more stringent requirements than zoning laws, those restrictions are typically upheld by courts, reflecting the intent of the community to maintain specific standards.

This choice is misleading as variances apply to zoning ordinances rather than private restrictive covenants. Property owners may have limited options for relief from CC&Rs, and seeking a variance from a municipality does not guarantee approval for deviations from private restrictions.

This statement misrepresents the relationship between CC&Rs and zoning ordinances. Stricter CC&Rs tend to prevail regardless of whether the restrictions relate to land use or not. Zoning ordinances are designed for public regulation, while CC&Rs are private agreements that can impose additional limits.
