Lakeside Community Owners Association

What Lakeside Community Owners Association's governing documents say

This is a set of architectural, landscaping, and tree-planting application forms for the Lakeside Community Owners Association in Elk Grove, CA — a single-family-home HOA. The forms tell homeowners what they must submit and pay before making exterior changes, but they are not the full CC&Rs or rules of the community.

• Architectural review: Any fence, garage door, pool, driveway, play equipment, shed, awning, exterior lighting, or other exterior improvement requires a completed application, colored photos of the home and items, a materials list, a description, and a $50 processing fee. Incomplete packages are returned.
• Landscaping changes: Front yard, side yard, hardscape, softscape, dry creek, boulders, gravel, grass, mulch, and other landscaping work require a separate application with photos, a plot diagram, a materials list, and signatures from three adjoining neighbors. Artificial grass will be denied.
• Tree planting: New trees require a $50 fee, a completed application, and a color photo. Trees must be at least 15 gallons in size and chosen from the association's pre-approved list (included in the document).
• Approved paint colors: Exterior paint must follow one of 24 pre-approved color schemes listed in the document, with specific colors for body/garage, trim, and front door/accent. Additional trim and body colors are also provided.
• Approved trees and plants: The document includes extensive pre-approved lists of large, medium, and small trees, shrubs, drought-tolerant plants, perennials, ground covers, and vines. Only species from these lists may be planted.
• Vendor access: Homeowners must arrange gate access for contractors or other vendors — manual gate codes are not provided. Homeowners can use the gate directory or buy an extra gate card or remote.
• Notice of completion: After an approved improvement is finished, the homeowner must submit a signed Notice of Completion form to management immediately.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are application forms and color/plant lists, not the full CC&Rs. They do not cover assessments, leasing rules, pet limits, parking, noise, or other common HOA restrictions.
