Board member Michael Schlemmer is inviting 32 HOA members to attend the All San Francisco Symphony Concert on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. as his guests. This special evening brings together non-profit and community organizations throughout the city for a night of music. The All San Francisco Symphony Concert was inaugurated more than 40 years ago to celebrate the start of the new San Francisco Symphony season. The concert will feature conductor Jaap van Zweden.

Please register below if you would like to attend this fun event with neighbors. Program details and tickets will be shared in late August with those who qualify for the tickets. Please limit two free tickets per household!

Why Must BTHA Adopt Revised Governing Documents?

Our governing documents have remained largely unchanged since their inception in 1920, making them outdated and noncompliant with both state and federal laws. Additionally, these original documents did not anticipate the major shifts in state and local zoning laws that now threaten to fundamentally alter the character of Balboa Terrace. To ensure our community remains a historic single-family home enclave, it is essential to modernize our governing framework to protect against unwanted development pressures. Finally, California has adopted a robust set of laws regulating HOAs, primarily found in the Davis-Stirling Act. We need to update our governing documents to be compliant with that law and others that apply to HOAs.

A comprehensive summary of governing document changes and the rationale behind many of the updates is available in the summary below.
