Introduction

Avida Settings Cabanatuan is envisioned as a planned residential community, consisting primarily of single
detached houses, parks, and open spaces. A range of complementary amenities is intended to enhance the
quality of life of the residents and to improve the value and livability of the area.

Avida Settings Cabanatuan shall be guided by this Deed of Restrictions and the Design Guidelines and Pattern
Book, which, collectively, are intended to:

Safeguard the health and welfare of its residents by establishing and sustaining a safe, livable and pleasant
community.

Secure for each property owner the full benefit and enjoyment of the owner's property with no greater
restriction than is necessary to ensure the same advantages to other owners.

Assure the residents that the intended land use and character of the neighborhood will be preserved;
protecting their right to access and utility service.

Maintain aesthetic standards that make Avida Settings Cabanatuan an attractive and desirable place to live in.

Prevent nuisances and the deterioration of neighborhoods that inevitably follow a "let people do whatever they
want" philosophy of construction, maintenance, and property use.

Protect property values by ensuring that only compatible developments and densities will be located within the
development.
