| Revised
Fence Color Standards (August 2003)
Previous Association
rules stipulated that only one (1) wood fence color (Old Quaker
#55) was acceptable. The currently adopted rule change includes
two (2) major changes. The first major change is that the Association
now allows four (4) choices for wood fence colors. Homeowners can
now select from Old Quaker #55, 76, 90, or 105 for their wood fence
color. Sample chips for these colors are available in the Community
Relations office at the Community Center for review. Please note
that the Association only requires painting of fences and gates
that face onto a street, walkway, paseo, park, lake or greenbelt.
The second major
change affects homeowners with shared, continuous wood fencing.
In these cases, both neighbors are required to use the same color
(selected from one of the four permitted colors) on their wood fencing
whenever all or a portion of either neighbor’s home is painted,
when wood fencing at either home is painted, or when the Association
determines that a maintenance deficiency exists on either portion
of the wood fencing. This rule was adopted to promote consistency
and to eliminate existing situations in the community where continuous
portions of wood fencing are painted different colors.
Homeowners with
wood fencing shared with a neighbor are requested to contact the
neighbor whenever they plan to paint their home or fencing to determine
which color would be the most appropriate for the entire fencing.
We thank you in advance and encourage you to contact the Community
Relations office at 949/786-1800 if you have any questions.
Please
note that the following tracts within Woodbridge already have specific
rules for wood fence paint colors and are not affected by these
revised rules. These are: 9801-9805 (Gables), 10346-10348 (Cottages),
11626 & 11628 (Brairglen) and 12081 (Parklane).
The italicized portions below indicate the new rules for wood fencing.
Chapter
3
Section 3-222. (i) Fences
Unless otherwise approved by the Architectural Committee, any exterior
wall or fence that faces onto a street, walkway, park, lake, or
greenbelt; or any exterior wall or fence that abuts to an “Exhibit
E” theme wall or fence that fronts onto Woodbridge Village
Association landscaped common areas must be painted as per subsections
(1) and (2) below. In cases where wood fencing abuts to an adjacent
neighbor’s fence and is continuous, all portions of the continuous
wood fence must be painted the same color selected from one of the
colors in subsection (2) only. If the homeowners are unable to agree
on a single color, the Architectural Committee shall notify the
homeowners which color it would consider the most appropriate for
the homeowners to submit a Home Improvement Application seeking
approval of that color. For existing situations where the continuous
wood fencing has been previously approved for different colors on
adjacent properties, all of the fencing must be painted to match
the same color whenever a Home Improvement Application is submitted
proposing exterior painting for any portion of either home or fencing
at either property, or when the Association determines that a maintenance
deficiency exists on a portion of the continuous wood fencing. Please
note that the Architectural Committee shall require all street-side
fencing on the same street and all fencing at the end of cul-de-sacs
to painted the same color to promote consistency within the tract.
(1) All exterior
stucco walls must be painted to match Vista Nu-Navajo #53.
(2) All wood fencing must be painted to match one of the following
colors: Old Quaker #55, 76, 90 or 105.
