Design Review Committee

General Restrictions

To make the community reflect the character of Denver, there are few restrictions or rules. The primary requirement of the Community Declaration is that the owner maintains their property in a clean, sightly, wholesome condition and landscaping must be installed within one year of occupancy. City and County of Denver ordinances must always be followed. For the most part, the Association will rely on the “best judgment” of owners to conduct themselves in a manner that will be sensitive to neighbors. (Please refer to Article 9 of the Community Declaration for more detailed information.)
