Use this form to seek approval of projects, improvements, changes, or additions not related to painting, roofing, windows or doors/garage doors. If you are seeking approval for painting, roofing, windows or doors/garage doors, please click the appropriate link here to access the correct form.

NOTE: For architectural changes (room additions, structure modifications, etc.) two (2) sets of plans or drawings  must be submitted with the application. The specification for the plans (what needs to be included, etc.) are described in the section "Plans and Drawings" in Chapter 6 of the Resident Handbook. One set will be retained on permanent file with the Association, while the second set will be returned along with the application decision.

 Homeowners/contractors may have to provide a separate set of plans to the City of Irvine for building approval, permits and inspections. In addition to the plans, the Homeowner should include manufacturer’s brochures or samples of exterior fixtures, windows, doors, roofing, materials and paint choices. Please refer to Chapters 6, 7 and 8 of the Resident Handbook for complete information about architectural approval requirements, architectural and landscaping guidelines and standards, and the approval process.

  1. Architectural approval does not constitute waiver of any licenses, permits, etc. required by applicable governmental or other regulatory agencies.
  2. Architectural approval of this plan does not constitute acceptance of geological, technical and/or engineering specifications. All geological, technical and engineering matters are the responsibility of the lot owner.
