(d) Except to the extent expressly permitted or required by other provisions of this chapter, an amendment may not create or increase special declarant rights, increase the number of units, change the boundaries of a unit, the allocated interests of a unit, or the uses to which a unit is restricted, in the absence of unanimous consent of the unit owners.
