Proposed Adoption of Architectural Standards

Effective January 1, 2020, a new section of Civil Code Section 4751 voids provisions of an Association’s governing documents that prohibits or unreasonably restricts the construction or use of an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling unit on a lot zoned for single-family residential use.
 
At the Board Meeting of September 15, 2020, the Board approved draft guidelines to be submitted to the membership for comment as recommended by the Architectural Review Committee. The proposed Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit guidelines set forth reasonable restrictions and standards permitted under Civil Code 4751 for design, review, and approval of these types of supplemental dwellings. The attached notice of proposed adoption of Nellie Gail Ranch Architectural Standards for Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units sets forth the purpose and effect of proposed standards to supplement the Architectural Review Committee Guidelines adopted in March 2009.
 
Members have forty (40) days to submit comments regarding the proposed standards.  All comments must be submitted in writing no later than 5 p.m. Friday, November 13, 2020. The Board intends to make a decision on the proposed revisions during the Board of Directors meeting to be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 7:30 p.m.
