DRC Info

NRV homeowners are required to submit an application to the Design Review Committee (DRC) for most exterior changes to a home or the yard prior to beginning those changes. The NRV Design Standards, located here, should be referenced and used as a guide during the planning of your home or yard modification. At closing, each homeowner should receive a copy of NRV Rules and Regulations document which include the design standards (section 9). Please carefully review this entire document and all sections pertinent to your application. Note that no work should be started or completed on the project prior to DRC approval. If any work is done prior to approval, the homeowner is subject to a fine and/or removal of any completed work per Section 10 of the NRV Rules and Regulations.

The process for submitting an application is below. Note that the DRC will not act on incomplete applications. Once your application is complete, the DRC endeavors to approve or deny the application within 30 days; the time required depends on the completeness of your application and on any part of your proposal which takes additional clarification.

• The DRC application is available here.
• Download the application and prepare relevant detailed drawings, photographs, etc so that the objectives of the work are clear.
• Print the completed application and ask your neighbors to sign it acknowledging that they are aware of the work you want to do (this does not indicate they approve).
• Email your completed application and supporting documentation to DRCapplication@NewRainierVista.com.

Your application should consider and respond to the “Design Review Criteria and Requirements” covered in Section 9.1 of the Rules and Regulations document.
Sample applications are available here and here.

Resources for your DRC planning
The DRC does not take the place of any permitting required by the City or the County. Determining if your project requires a permit, and getting that permit if necessary, is the homeowner’s responsibility. City permitting information is here.
