Access the Architectural Review Committee’s Request Form for Design Approval by following the link near the bottom of this page. Please read these preliminary notes. You will be asked to verify that you have read these notes before submitting the form.

The form is not required if your plan does not alter the appearance of your home’s exterior, or if the proposed changes are limited to alterations in your property’s landscape.

Repainting or Re-stuccoing

Requests for approval of repainting or re-stuccoing must include a sample of the new color.

Additional Materials to Submit

Depending on your proposal, you may be required to submit additional materials by email attachment. These may include a copy of your property site plan indicating the location of the proposed change or addition, and the distances from the proposed change or addition to the property lines.

You may also need to include a drawing of proposed construction, along with the following information: style, dimensions, materials, color samples of the proposed change or addition, and the proposed construction time-schedule and contractor, if any.

Proposals affecting common walls require neighbors’ signed approval.

Should the Committee require further information, your request will be deferred until it is received.
