Your copy of the “Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions on Tract(s) 27450, 29326, and 24455 (As Amended and Supplemented) (hereafter referred to as “the CC&R’s”) is your reference. In  section 8, “Approval of Plans," you will find the terms and conditions which must be met in order to construct certain improvements upon the property defined above. As you will note in the document,  the “Architectural Review’ is governed by the “Architectural Committee."
