Covenant language on permanent exterior lighting is newer than the product, which means a lot of associations are working out their position as applications arrive. That is good news: a well-presented submission usually gets approved. Permanent lighting in Omaha.
What boards actually object to
- Visible hardware in daylight, which is a design question and answerable with a daytime photo
- Color changing displays running year round, which a scheduling commitment resolves
- Brightness spilling onto neighboring lots, which zoning and aiming resolves
What a submission usually needs
Most boards want the same three things: the lighting clause in your own covenant, a spec sheet for the hardware, and a drawing or photograph showing what it looks like on your elevation. Read the clause before you plan anything.
