5.04 Approval of Plans

FCHOA Declaration of Protective Covenants - Revision Date: 2022-05-20

Except as otherwise permitted in Section 5.6 herein, the ARC shall not knowingly approve the plans for any Improvement that would clearly violate any of the applicable provisions of the Governing Documents, the Purchaser’s Handbook, or any Supplemental Declaration, as applicable.  In all other respects, the ARC may exercise its  discretion in determining whether to approve or disapprove any plans, taking into account, without limitation, the location of an Improvement on a Lot, grading plans, design proportions, architecture, shape, height, or style of the proposed Improvements, the materials, the pitch or type of roof, the color scheme, the finished ground elevation, the landscaping, the hardscaping, and any other consideration that factors into the ARC’s determination of whether the proposed Improvements are harmonious with the Properties or existing Improvements on other Lots or Parcels. Nothing contained in this Declaration shall require the ARC to approve the plans for Improvements on a Lot on the grounds that the same or a similar layout, design, and/or other aspects of such Improvements are substantially the same as the layout, design, and other aspects of Improvements approved by the ARC for another Lot.
