ACC Guidelines

The primary role of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) involves acting on requests for approval of alteration to the exterior of a building, fence, bulkhead, other structures, and landscaping. Approval must be obtained PRIOR to initiating work.

Any work done to the exterior of a building or structure needs to be submitted to the ACC except for minor repairs that are essentially like for like and small in scope such as:
• Replacing a broken window pane (replacing a whole window or door needs to be submitted unless it is the same size/style/color/material),
• Replacing a few pieces of damaged siding or decking with like material and color (replacing substantially all the decking or changing color/material needs to be submitted), or
• Repainting a small section of siding, trim, or a door with the same color paint.

Any landscaping needs to be submitted to the ACC except for routine maintenance and small changes such as:
• Replacing diseased or dead bushes or shrubs
(tree replacement always requires ACC submission),
• Planting a few new plants or shrubs, unless in a view corridor.
• New bark or mulch, or
• Patching or repairing a small section of a driveway with like material (replacing all or substantially all of a driveway or changing material needs to be submitted).

Any fencing or bulkhead changes need to be submitted to the ACC except for routine maintenance and small changes such as:
• Replacing a damaged board or post with like material and paint/stain, or
• Repainting a few boards with the same color paint or stain.

Any new sign needs to be submitted to the ACC except that no submission is required to have:
• One Real Estate yard sign during the period that the house is actively for sale, or
• Political yard signs, to be removed immediately after a primary or general election.

The CC&Rs remain the controlling documents as to requirements and restrictions for construction (“additions”), exterior alterations and landscaping.

If ACC approval is required, the homeowner must fill out and submit the ACC Approval Request (click here)
