Approval Requirements: The following changes require documentation for all applications presented to the Architectural Committee for preliminary approval. Lack of sufficient data on any items will cause delay in the approval of plans and applications. No improvements can proceed without prior written approval of the Committee.
- STRUCTURES – Including, but not limited to re-roofing, patio covers, room additions, fences, gates and walls. Applicant should apply to Architectural Committee for approval prior to requesting San Diego Building Department approval. Request should include: a.

Elevation – Elevations and renderings which fully explain the structure.

Seven Oak’s CC&Rs require that any improvements, remodeling, changes, or painting must have prior approval by the Architectural Committee. Failure to obtain approval in advance could result in costly construction revisions. The Committee’s approval of the plan is not a substitute for required City building permits or inspections. The Committee assumes no legal responsibility for claims arising from approval given homeowners. By digitally signing this application, applicant agrees to be bound by these conditions, and to display AC approved application in window facing street until completion of improvements.
