ALRC Guidelines
The Architecture & Landscape Review Committees (ALRC) for North & South neighborhoods review and approve all submissions for external changes to existing properties, including major landscaping projects and new construction.
A key component of the Committees' role is to maintain a harmonious community appearance of individual homes and lots. In addition, the Committees ensure all properties are in compliance with the CC&Rs, Design/Build Guidelines and other HOA controlling documents.
Prior to any changes, alterations or modifications to the exterior of your home or landscape, an architectural submittal form must be filled out and sent to Associa Arizona, our management company.
The ALRC will need to review and approve the plans prior to any work beginning. Here is a SUMMARY of those items requiring approval. Please refer to the full Design Guidelines for a comprehensive list:
New or custom homes
Structure additions (i.e. casita or guest house
Pools, spas & hot tubs
Lights, windows, doors, walls, fences, garage doors
