COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Temporary Signage - BCA would like to remind residents about the Design Guidelines for Temporary Signage within the community. Political signs must be removed within five days following an election. More information about these guidelines can be found here. Please contact the Community Standards department with any questions.

Holiday Décor and Lighting - Holiday decorations and lighting do not require approval by the Covenants Committee. Nevertheless, if the Committee determines that any decorations or lighting attract excessive traffic, unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of common areas or adjacent lots, or create a dangerous condition, then the resident responsible must remove the decorations or lighting within 48 hours after receiving notice from the Association. Please be mindful that decorations and lighting must be specific and appropriate to the holiday occurring at the time of display. All materials must be within the lot boundaries of the resident making the display.

Home Winterization - Preparing your home for the winter months can be overwhelming. Starting early and having a plan can reduce stress and ensure that your home is ready for whatever winter has in store.

DEVELOPER NEWS

Developer Update: Rezoning Applications - As the Brambleton Group prepares for the final phases of the community's development, there is one parcel in the northwest corner of the community and three undeveloped parcels in the southern portion which will be submitted to Loudoun County for rezoning. We are at the beginning stages of these rezoning applications. We will receive feedback from the County Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, and staff that will help us refine plans as we work towards eventual public hearings and approval. Moving forward, our goal is to enhance the community to make it even better for generations to come. Learn more about these parcels here.
