These have been the most common improvements at PGA WEST Residential Association to date. An Architectural Variance Application must be submitted and approved in writing for all improvements.

 

 

    A. AWNINGS
  1. Awnings shall be retractable. Awnings shall be retracted when not required for sun control at the unit. Homeowners will be notified by letter if the awning is being used as a “room addition” i.e., awning extended when exterior of unit is in the shade. It is recommended that homeowners install a wind sensor. The retractable awning approval is based on the need to control direct sunlight for a limited time period based on the orientation of the unit and sun. It is not an approval to use the awning for extended time periods of the day or as a newly created covered patio extension.
  2. The awning must be professionally attached to the exterior of the unit. The awning attachment must be installed as to not cause damage to the HOA’s exterior walls and/or roof.

  4. The required awning valance can be straight or scalloped edge. All weathered valances to be replaced as necessary within 15 days of notification to assure proper appearance. The valance drop is not to exceed 7 inches. The awning hardware is to be a cream color to assure a neutral appearance.
  5. The slope and/or pitch of the awning is to be similar or less than the pitch of the roof. If a steep pitch is required, the homeowner should consider a vertical shade attached next to the window or door.
  6. The awning projection depth is limited to 10'-0" in most installations or less when the awning limitation is 1'-0" past the edge of the patio at the Champion, Legend and Greens units.
