(12) Any rights that the developer or others reserve regarding the condominium property regime, including, without limitation, any development rights, and any reservations to modify the declaration or condominium map.

(b) The declaration may contain any additional provisions that are not inconsistent with this chapter. [L 2005, c 93, pt of §2; am L 2006, c 38, §22 and c 273, §7; am L 2014, c 49, §4]
