What Village Grove Design - City of Scottsdale HOA's governing documents say

Village Grove 1-6 is a historic district in Scottsdale, AZ, comprising 255 single-family homes built in the late 1950s. These guidelines, issued by the City of Scottsdale Historic Preservation Office, apply to all property owners within the district and regulate any exterior alterations, additions, or new construction to preserve the Ranch-style character. All exterior work requiring a building permit must be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission or staff.

• Historic preservation review process: Minor work may qualify for a Certificate of No Effect (1-7 days), while major changes require a Certificate of Appropriateness (4-6 weeks) with a public hearing. Owners must submit plans to Preservation staff; the Historic Preservation Commission makes the final decision.
• Basic preservation principles: Six key principles guide all work: preserve character-defining features, respect historic architectural character, protect and maintain features, repair rather than replace, reconstruct missing features based on evidence, and design new features to be distinct yet compatible.
• Preserving historic building materials: Original materials (concrete block, wood siding, asphalt shingles) must be preserved and repaired. Painting is required; covering with stucco, vinyl, or aluminum is prohibited. Replacement materials must match original in size, texture, and color.
• Preserving historic architectural features: Porches, carports/garages, and windows are character-defining. Original forms and details must be maintained. Porch enclosures are discouraged; carport expansions should use matching roof forms; window replacements should replicate original steel casement styles.
• Additions and new construction: Additions must be one-story, subordinate in scale, set back to match adjacent houses, and placed at the rear. Roofs must be low-pitched gable or hip with overhanging eaves. New construction must follow the historic pattern of the subdivision.
