We are a new HOA. We have the CC&Rs the developer filed with the city. We have an easement document, also filed by the developer. We have no HOA bylaws. From reading [sample bylaws](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/8763/Sample-ByLaws-for-a-Condo-Association-or-HOA.aspx) I see the bylaws deal with the [HOA](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) governance. Where does one set forth things like (1) no pets larger than 20 pounds, or (2) no noise that disturbs the neighbors, or (3) rules that govern community parking areas? I hope you can help. Thanks, Ed
