Guidelines for Architectural Review
These Guidelines have been prepared to direct future changes and continue the tradition of our neighborhood that resulted in our placement on the National Register. Oak Hills epitomizes the best in post-war, mid-century development, emphasizing varying residential densities, mixed uses, the incorporation of open space, and land conservation. These guidelines are intended to ensure excellence by establishing principles and standards regarding structures and harmonious exterior colors within our neighborhood. The exterior of your home may be the strongest indicator that you are the caretaker of a architecturally eclectic design aesthetic. The Guidelines are not meant to address every contingency or circumstance, but to establish general principles.
The Guidelines are not meant to restrict, but to guide, allowing individuality to be expressed within the culture of Oak Hills. We ask your assistance and cooperation in following these Guidelines to ensure that Oak Hills continues as a unique and beautiful community.
You can browse the guidelines on the process page, or download the full guidelines document at the top of this page.
