The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) supports the Board of Directors by reviewing proposed exterior changes to ensure they are consistent with the Association’s governing documents and adopted rules. The ARC helps maintain a cohesive community appearance while allowing homeowners to make improvements to their homes.
ARC review helps ensure changes are evaluated fairly, consistently, and in accordance with established standards that apply to all homeowners.
WHAT REQUIRES ARC REVIEW
ARC review is generally required for exterior changes that may affect the appearance of a home or lot, including but not limited to:
- Exterior painting or color changes
- Fencing, walls, or gates
- Decks, patios, pergolas, or other structures
- Roofing, siding, or exterior material changes
- Windows, doors, or exterior fixtures
- Landscaping changes that alter the appearance of the lot
WHAT MAY NOT REQUIRE ARC REVIEW
Routine maintenance and like-for-like replacements that do not alter the appearance of a home typically do not require ARC review. Examples may include:
- Repairs using the same materials and colors
- Minor maintenance or upkeep
- Interior improvements not visible from outside the home
This list is not exhaustive, and some projects may still require review depending on scope or visibility.
Homeowners are encouraged to submit a request or contact management if there is any uncertainty about whether ARC review is required.
Submitting an arc request
Requests for ARC review must be submitted through the Association’s management platform. Submitting requests through the management portal ensures they are properly documented, tracked, and routed for review.
Before submitting, homeowners are encouraged to review applicable standards and guidelines listed in the Association’s governing documents and adopted rules.
Homeowners should submit ARC requests using the AMS homeowner portal. Requests submitted outside of the portal may experience delays or may not be reviewed.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Once submitted, ARC requests are reviewed in accordance with the Association’s governing documents and adopted rules. Homeowners will be notified through the management platform if additional information is needed or once a decision has been made.
