RA Board of Directors Announces Results of Referendum

(Posted Mar. 14, 2024) The Reston Association Board of Directors announced at its special meeting on March 13 that as a 2/3 affirmative majority of eligible voters was not achieved in the recent referendum, SectionVI.2(b)(15), Air Conditioning Units of the Reston Deed remains in effect. A total of 165 eligible members voted in the affirmative out of a potential 343 voters in the referendum.

As stated in the Deed, “Air Conditioning Units in any residential Cluster in which central air-conditioning service is available to the Lot Line, no individual air-conditioning units of any type shall be permitted. This covenant may only be amended or revoked by at least a two-thirds vote of the Category A Members of all residential Clusters on the service.”

Members with a medical need may apply for a medical exemption from the Reston Association Covenants Committee prior to submitting a DRB application for an HVAC system. Properties without an approved medical exemption will not be permitted to install exterior HVAC systems.
