In order to provide for a congenial occupancy of the building and security of the residents, the use of the property shall be restricted to and will be in accordance with the following provisions: Single-Family Residences: The apartment units of Playa del Mar Condominium shall be limited to use by immediate members of a single family. No apartment unit shall be utilized by more than the members of a single family unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. If title vests in any entity other than a natural person or persons or in multiple families, then such entity or multiple families shall designate in writing the single family to occupy the apartment unit; and Association approval of said designee shall be subject to the same Rules, Regulations, and requirements regarding qualification for occupancy as apply to prospective tenants seeking approval for occupancy. Once a designee is so approved, such designation may be changed only once in any 12 month period. Occupancy Level: The number of residents who shall be permitted to occupy an apartment unit in Playa del Mar Condominium is:
The maximum number of residents permitted in each apartment unit must be adhered to in accordance with the restrictions set forth above. However, occasional overnight guests and members of the immediate family will be permitted not to exceed two persons above occupancy level. "Occasional" shall be deemed to mean a period not exceeding seven consecutive days. Classification of Residents: Residents shall be comprised of
four classifications: Residents may designate members of their family as guest occupants of their apartments in their absence so long as the occupancy levels referred to previously are respected. The use of an apartment by a resident's immediate family in the resident's absence will necessitate the resident notifying the Manager in writing (on a form available from the Manager's Office) at least one week prior to the intended arrival of the immediate family - giving their names, relationship, and approximate length of stay - stating also that these guests are not tenants and are not paying rent or any other consideration for the use of the apartment. Visitors or overnight guests, other than immediate family (as described above) with proper identification, will be permitted only while the Owner or Lessee is in residence in the apartment. Under no circumstances will overnight guests be permitted in an apartment in the absence of the resident of the apartment whether or not the number of overnight guests would be within the permitted occupancy levels. No person likely to interfere with the safety, welfare, or health of other residents shall be accepted as an occupant in the leasing or purchase of an apartment. All guests must abide by the same Rules and Regulations of the Condominium in effect for the residents, and the residents should advise their guests that their stay will be terminated if any of the Rules and Regulations are violated. The Owner will be liable to the Association for any attorney fees and costs which may be incurred in enforcing these Rules against a resident or his guests. * Registration Required: Only residents are not required to register at the Security Desk located in the main lobby of the Playa del Mar Condominium.

Conditions: This regulation is expressly subject and subordinate to the regulation regarding restrictions against nuisances( see PLAYA DEL MAR CONDOMINIUM TO BE USED FOR LAWFUL PURPOSES, RESTRICTION AGAINST NUISANCES, ETC.).. If any Pet, or the conditions under which any Pet is maintained (for example failure to control noise or to remove odorous wastes), creates unreasonable noise, any offensive odor or other condition which interferes with the use and enjoyment of the Playa del Mar Condominium by any other resident, then upon complaint by such resident, the management shall investigate and shall take such steps as are necessary to abate such nuisance, including requiring removal of the offending Pet or Pets and Pet conditions.

IN EMERGENCIES The general personal safety and health of all and the prevention of loss and damage to contents due to insect infestation, fire, water-line breakage, or emergency requires that a key for each lock for each apartment and air- conditioning room (if locked) be deposited with the Manager. The Board of Directors of the ASSOCIATION for entry in relief of the above, or any other person authorized by it, shall have the right to enter such apartment for the purpose of remedying or abating the cause of such emergency, and such right of entry shall be immediate. Failure to provide such a key makes an apartment Owner (and/or Lessee) totally responsible and liable for resulting injuries, loss of life, or property damage. Further, PLAYA DEL MAR ASSOCIATION will not be responsible for loss or damage resulting from entry in the event that emergency access is required. Keys deposited with the Manager will only be surrendered to guests, service or domestic personnel, when directed, in writing, to do so by the owner.

The presence of others in this area can serve to distract security personnel and create congestion. In the interest of better management, Owners, Lessees, guests, and personnel of Playa del Mar should conduct their business at the security desks as expeditiously as possible - thus providing time for the guards to carry out their legitimate functions. Loitering in these areas is to be avoided.

The service elevator is to be used by apartment residents in the main tower building for all wheeled vehicles, packaged groceries, grocery and clothes/luggage carriers, etc. The passenger elevators may only be used for wheeled vehicles when the service elevator is out of order. Wheelchairs may be used in either service or passenger elevators. The lounges are for the sole use of all Owners and Lessees subject to the following: The Social Committee may schedule social events - open to all residents and their guests - limited, however, to the capacity of the facility. No parties or events may be scheduled which are for the benefit or pleasure of any outside group or organization. 29. PRIVATE PARTY - OCEAN LOUNGE 1. Owners or Lessees must request a private party date in writing
to the Manager so as to not conflict with other resident requests
for the use of the room. In addition, the Owner or Lessee must complete
the "use" contract (see back of book) available in the
Manager's Office. Each 16-story wing has one high-speed passenger elevator to service residents. The tower section has two high-speed elevators and one freight elevator in the west (lobby) end and one high-speed passenger elevator in the east end of the building. In the tower, service personnel and employees of moving companies should use the freight elevator. Residents or guests in the tower section, desirous of transportation to the lobby or to any other floor, will use either of the two high-speed passenger elevators in the west end of the building or the high-speed passenger elevator in the east end of the building. Residents will push only one button to signal the elevators for service. They should not push both the high-speed passenger elevator button and the slow-speed freight elevator button to signal for passenger service. Residents should not push any elevator button and hold it. They should not push both the up and down buttons. Our elevators are programmed to answer the signal when buttons are pushed. Lack of consideration on the part of residents in operating elevators causes breakdowns, delays the use of any elevator by other residents, causes two or three elevators to answer one call, and greatly increases electricity and maintenance costs. The names of violators will be turned in to the Manager, and infractions will be dealt with by the Board of Directors. Do not block elevator doors open in order to hold a car as an alarm sounds after a short delay calling building personnel to the scene. Such holding action is also discourteous to other residents. Also, do not manually attempt to force doors open. This is a smoke free building and state law prohibits smoking or the carrying of lighted cigars, cigarettes, or pipes on elevators. Receptacles are available for disposing of lighted tobacco at the entrance to each elevator; they are not for any other purpose. In the event of a fire DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS. All notices to be posted on any and all bulletin boards must be approved by the Manager's Office. Unauthorized notices will be removed. All notices will be posted by the Manager' Office. 32.
