architecture Change Guidelines

  • No architectural changes should be undertaken without first submitting an Architectural Change Request to the Carino Canyon Architectural Committee.
  • The committee generally will approve those architectural change requests for changes to homes that are consistent with the original options and upgrades that were offered by Shea Homes when they built the community.  For example:

    • Enclosing a patio that does not extend beyond the original roof line of the structure
    • Adding an attached casita with the same architectural dimensions originally offered by Shea Homes to the front of the house.
  • The committee generally will generally not approve requests for changes or additions to homes which extend past the limits of Shea Home's original options and upgrades and which would block neighbors’ views of natural vistas.  For example:

    • Unattached living quarters, such as unattached casitas in backyards.
    • Second-story observation decks on the exterior of dwellings.
    • Second-story onto dwellings.
