What Ventana Canyon's governing documents say

This document is a 2026 amendment to the Ventana Canyon Community Association Design Guidelines, recorded in Pima County, Arizona. It updates exterior lighting standards for residences in this community (likely a single-family HOA) and applies to all homeowners and residents. The amendment was adopted by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).

• Exterior lighting - allowed fixtures and bulbs: All exterior light sources (incandescent, halogen, CFL, or LED) must have a total initial lumen rating of 800–850 lumens per fixture, and operate at a warm white color temperature of 2700–3000 Kelvin. Fixtures must be fully shielded so no bare bulb is visible, and light must be directed downward to avoid glare and light pollution.
• Security lighting: Security lighting (motion-controlled) must turn off within 5 minutes after no motion is detected. Each light source is limited to 575 lumens maximum and a color temperature of 5000 Kelvin maximum. Security lights must be shielded and directed away from neighboring properties.
• Holiday and string lights: Holiday lighting is exempt if it complies with the Association's separate rules. Permanent string or roof-eave lighting is allowed only on ground-level (1-story) applications, must be shielded, limited to 100 lineal feet, and total string output of 4500 lumens maximum.
• Enforcement: Each owner is responsible for compliance. The Association may require correction, repair, replacement, or removal of any non-compliant exterior light fixture.
• What this document doesn't cover: This amendment only addresses exterior lighting standards. It does not cover other design guidelines (e.g., paint, landscaping, roofing), parking, leasing, pets, or community-wide rules such as assessments or age restrictions.
