Architectural Standards

Awnings and Shutters

Awnings, canopies, and shutters shall not be permitted of affixed to the exterior of the residence without the prior approval of the NCC.

Exterior shutters, when used, should be an integral architectural feature. Shutter holdbacks (dogs) are required in specific neighborhoods (see supplement).

All shutters must be submitted and approved.

Shutters are encouraged on house facades visible from the street. Shutter material may be wood or heavy plastic and should be proportioned to cover the window individually or in pairs when closed. Shutters may be louvered or paneled in design and must be attached to the house using appropriate holdback hardware.
