B. If lots may be added to or withdrawn from the planned community, or if boundaries between adjoining lots may be relocated, the declaration shall state the formulas or methods to be used to reallocate the common expense liabilities, common surpluses, and voting interest in the association among all lots included in the planned community after the addition, withdrawal, or relocation.

(b) Cumulative voting only for electing directors.
(c) Class voting on specified issues affecting the class if necessary to protect valid interests of the class.
(2) A declarant may not utilize cumulative or class voting to avoid any limitation imposed on declarants by this Part, nor may lots constitute a class because they are owned by a declarant.

E. The transfer, encumbrance, judicial sale, or other voluntary or involuntary transfer of an ownership interest in a lot includes membership in the association and any other rights in the association appurtenant to that lot.
