Association Updates

Updated Residential Guidelines

At the June 25th Regular Board Meeting, the FCCSA Board of Directors approved updated Residential Guidelines. Many of these updates were to provide clarification to the guidelines, but did not substantially change the functionality of the guidelines. However, some guidelines have been changed to allow more flexibility than was previously allowed. Some of the more substantial changes are:
1. Allowing shade structures with standing seam metal roofs. 2. Allowing up to 2 car covers if they meet specific requirements.
3. Allowing one row of evergreen shrubs of a consistent species, and one row of accents plants in front of that instead of requiring two rows of evergreen shrubs. Two rows of evergreen shrubs are still allowed. The intention of this change was to allow more options for landscaping at the home, not to force a change to a new standard.
The July 10, 2026 FCCSA Happenings e-blast included a Letter from the Executive Director with additional information on these guideline changes.
The updated guidelines can be found on the Association’ s website by scanning the QR code to the left.
If you have any questions about these updated guidelines, please reach out to us at communitystandards @ firstcolony. org, and we will be happy to assist and provide clarification.
