Sunset Mesa Architectural Committee

The SMPOA Architectural Committee (AC) is responsible for reviewing plans and specifications for any proposed building, garage, fence or balcony to determine compliance with the CC&R’s ocean view protection clause and the conformity and harmony of external designs with existing structures. Subject plans and specifications must be approved by the AC before construction. 

The following categories of projects require AC review and approval of relevant plans prior to construction:

  • Fire-related rebuild plans, which should conform to the CC&Rs, while avoiding incremental Ocean View Impact (OVI)

  • Any changes that may impact ocean views (OVI) in the community

  • New building or garage construction, major remodels, exterior changes

  • Visible landscaping and hardscaping

  • Pools, decks, balconies, rooftop features, and accessory structures

Requesting the AC to approve your project

Prospective Property Owners: Please submit your questions or proposed plans to the Architectural Committee via email: ac@sunsetmesa.org

Current Property Owners: Submit your requests to the AC via the AC Rebuild Request Review form on the PayHOA portal. https://app.payhoa.com/app/forms. Upon completion, your LOD will also be sent through this portal.

Reporting a problem

The CC&Rs exist to protect property owners. If you believe a project is proceeding in violation of the CC&Rs, causing Ocean View Impact or your property rights are being negatively impacted, please raise this to the SMPOA Board by submitting a General Request on the PayHOA portal. https://app.payhoa.com/app/forms.
