On October 15, 2019, the City Council adopted the update to the City's design guidelines for all of the following development types: Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Commercial/Mixed Use, Industrial, and Signage. The primary goal of this update was to provide clear guidance on how to address fundamental architectural and site design issues within all of the development types and architectural styles found throughout the City. In addition, through this process, the City also updated the City's Homeowners' Association (HOA) design guidelines, and the architectural design review properties for properties found within the five established HOAs (found in Resolution No. 6770), which will go into effect on December 6, 2019. The Design Guidelines have been updated to better serve as a tool for property owners, developers, design professionals, staff, HOAs, the Planning Commission, and the City Council to encourage high design standards to create timeless architecture that enhances the City's image, pride, and quality of life.
Associated Text Amendments for the Amended HOA Resolution (Development Code Divisions 2, 7, and 8) - June 2019
Hard copies of all the guidelines and documents are also available at City Hall, Planning Division, at 240 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia.
