Architectural Approval and Forms
In order to maintain the architectural character, aesthetics and property
values of Canyon Creek, modification of structures, materials, certain
landscaping and paint color must be compatible with the house and overall
architectural style of the immediate area. The Canyon Creek Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) is responsible for review and decisions on all Home
Improvement Applications, which must be submitted prior to any additions or
alterations to the exterior elements of houses and lots, as more fully
described in Chapters 6, 7 and 8 of the
Resident Handbook (Rules & Regulations).
In general, approval by the ARC prior to commencement is required for any
changes to the exterior of your home. This includes modification, addition
or removal of any structure (whether or not visible from the Common Area),
hardscape, and certain landscape visible from the Common Area. Approval by
the ARC is in addition to any permits that may be required by the city.
Consult the list of improvements in Chapter 7 of the
Resident Handbook and read the
appropriate section to understand the approval requirements and refer to
Chapters 6, 7 and 8 of the Resident Handbook
for additional information.
Obtaining prior approval for changes is very important. Action including
cease and desist orders and/or fines may be taken for noncompliance. Please
