The Design Standards Committee helps neighbors exercise their own design choices while supporting an attractive and well-maintained neighborhood. These guidelines are intended to protect property values and ensure improvements contribute positively to the community, while respecting each homeowner’s autonomy.

 

Our guidelines are aligned with the Covenants and applicable state, county, and municipal regulations, including zoning, building codes, and permits. When conflicts arise, the Covenants and official regulations take precedence.
