Design Criteria for Architectural Projects
1. Many Crestmont homes are situated adjacent to canyon areas and are defined as being located in a Very
High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (“VHFHSZ”). Special code restrictions may apply to architectural
improvements for these properties. Information regarding VHFHSZ requirements can be obtained from
the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department’s website (www.sandiego.gov/fire/services/brush/).
2. Certain types of home improvements, such as those that involve electrical, plumbing or structural
changes, may also require a City of San Diego building permit. Since the Crestmont HOA is a Planned
Residential Development, the City may require proof of approval by the HOA before a building permit
can be issued.
3. Please reference the GENERAL CRITERIA FOR HOME AND LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
section of the ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES to obtain the design
criteria for any type of architectural design project not specifically included below.
Balcony/Deck Design Criteria
1. The total size (length, width and height) of any balcony/deck is subject to Architectural Committee
approval based upon proportions and overall aesthetics. Balconies/decks must be accessible from the
interior of the house through a suitable second-story doorway. All balcony/deck designs should follow
the original developer’s design as closely as possible so as to ensure compatibility with the surrounding
community.
2. Exterior stairways to balconies/decks must not be located in a setback area or encroach into a side-yard
beyond the side wall of the house.
3. Balconies/decks must be painted to match the trim (fascia) or stucco color of the house.
4. The design of a balcony/deck should take into consideration its potential impact upon the privacy of
surrounding neighbors.
Patio Cover Design Criteria
1. Patio covers may be free standing or attached to an existing home and are only allowed to be installed in
backyards. Please note that some patio covers may require a building permit.
2. Patio cover building materials shall be compatible with the form and style of the house.
3. Normally acceptable patio cover materials include wood and wood-composites, aluminum that closely
resembles the look of wood, vinyl (dependent upon quality and appearance), stucco, and tile roof shingles
that match the house.
4. Unacceptable patio cover materials include sheet or corrugated metal, sheet or corrugated
fiberglass/plastic, plastic webbing, bamboo or straw-like materials, canvas or fabric, or asphalt/composite
roof shingles.
5. Patio covers shall be painted to match the trim (fascia) or stucco color of the house. Wooden patio covers
are allowed to use transparent stain colors as long as they are compatible with the aesthetics of the house.

Improvement Application Requirements for Architectural Projects
A complete architectural Improvement Application must include the following additional documentation and
information. It may be advisable for homeowners to obtain the services of a professional architect or
engineer in order to prepare complex construction drawings and specifications, especially if building permits
will be required.
1. A scaled plot drawing of the property and house that indicates the location and size of the proposed
improvement. Information on the plot drawing must include all property lines and dimensions, the
existing house outline and dimensions, and the location and dimensions of all proposed improvements
including setback distances to adjacent property lines.
2. An architectural drawing that provides at least a front, side and top view of the proposed improvements.
3. A listing of all material types and colors that will be visible on the finished exterior of the improvement.
4. If property grade or drainage pattern changes are involved, then a drawing must be provided that clearly
defines all proposed changes.
a. Any changes to the grade or drainage pattern of a residential lot could potentially cause serious
damage to your own property, adjacent properties and/or Common Areas. It is recommended that
homeowners utilize the services of a qualified expert to determine if your proposed grade or
drainage modifications comply with applicable civil engineering standards.
b. Proper drainage for residential lots shall be maintained at all times and directed to the street in
order to prevent run-off onto adjacent properties or HOA Common Areas (especially slopes). The
integrity of the drainage system/pattern provided by the original developers must be maintained.
Modifications to the existing drainage system/pattern must not hinder or reduce the performance
of lot drainage.
