You may see a lot of non compliance for two reasons: 1. Some rules vary from one CDD to another and it may actually be compliant; and, 2. The system is complaint driven and no one has filed a complaint against those properties.

There was discussion at the CDD10 meetings about driveway designs and grandfathering. The problem was created when CDD10 changed their policy to begin requiring approval for driveway painting. While I need approval today, I did not need approval last year. If someone files a complaint against my driveway tomorrow, I may or may not need to correct it depending on how old it is. Bottom line is: If the work was in violation when it was performed then there will be no grandfathering. I have seen only one exception to this in the six years I have been paying attention.
So it’s complaint driven. Selective uniformity!
