The Architectural Review Process at Sky Harbour begins with the initial application and submittal. This submittal can be either for Preliminary Approval Review or for Final Approval Review; the required drawings and their due dates are listed below. Even after the house is constructed and exterior lighting has been installed, the ARC acting on behalf of the Home Owners Association continues to review all remodeling, additions, and construction of outbuildings, fences etc. Keep in mind, Building Permits are temporary documents. The following describes the process and outlines the steps to be taken by the Applicant.
No construction may begin before Final Approval has been granted by the Architectural Review Committee.

Preliminary Review
The purpose of a Preliminary Application is to allow for review of any sketches or drawings at an early stage in the planning process to ascertain if the general proposal conforms to Sky Harbours’ architectural philosophy. For single-family homes, this step is not required, although it is strongly encouraged. Preliminary reviews are encouraged so that modifications that might be required by the ARC are taken into consideration before final engineering is completed and construction permits are granted. The Applicant may apply directly for Final Review if this is desirable for scheduling reasons or if plans are already complete. One preliminary review is allowed for each project.
NOTE: Preliminary Approval does not confer the right to file for construction permits or to begin construction. Final Review is required of all projects. Failure to receive final approval before beginning construction will result in fines and other sanctions being imposed.
Final Review
The Committee will review all required documentation and the application will receive one of the following: “Denial,” “Incomplete,” “Conditional Approval ‘Subject to’,” or “Approval.” Review fees are due when the Final Review is submitted.
- If the application is “Denied,” the Applicant must submit a new proposal. No construction permits may be applied for, nor may any construction begin. The applicant is given 30 days to resubmit a new proposal before the application is closed. Once closed, the Applicant is required to submit a new application and the corresponding fee.
- If the application is “Incomplete,” additional information must be presented to the ARC. No construction permits may be applied for, nor may construction begin. The Applicant is given 30 days to present the additional information before the application is closed. Once closed, the Applicant is required to submit a new application and the corresponding fee.
- If the application is given “Conditional Approval ‘Subject to’ ,” the Applicant may file for building permits and may begin construction, but some matters may require further review by the ARC and/or the Applicant may be required to submit additional information. In the case of new home construction, certain information, such as staked building corners, will be required before construction begins A form will be returned to the Applicant listing additional information required, issues not approved, and the dates when requirements must be satisfied. Should the requirements not be satisfied by the deadline set by the Committee, the application will be closed and the Applicant is required to submit a new application. The Applicant may not proceed with construction of any aspect of the project before that aspect has been reviewed and approved.
