Introduction

Vision Statement

Located at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains, Daybreak is a mixed-use, walkable community with a full range of services and amenities. The 4,127 acres at Daybreak comprise the largest development parcel in single ownership in the Salt Lake Valley, with 13,667 homes and over 9,075,000 square feet set aside for commercial and industrial use. Daybreak presents a unique opportunity to shape the Salt Lake Valley’s future. Sustainable environmental design strategies have been employed throughout Daybreak, complementing its nature as a mixed-use community with employment, residential, retail, recreational, and civic uses.

Overview and Purpose

The Daybreak Resident Design Guidelines have been created to establish design criteria for architecture, landscape architecture and sustainable concepts envisioned for all property owners/residents of Daybreak. These design criteria will assure property owners/residents within Daybreak that all individual improvements will conform to the same high standards of design excellence and ensure that the intent of the community vision, planning and design philosophies are carried out throughout Daybreak. The purpose is to achieve overall visual continuity, a sense of thematic consistency within each village and to unify the design and character throughout Daybreak.

These design guidelines may be amended from time to time, and it is the responsibility of each resident to obtain and review a copy of the most recently revised version of the guidelines. In addition to conforming to these guidelines, all construction must conform to all applicable ordinance requirements of the City of South Jordan and any other governing agencies.

Design Review Committee

A Design Review Committee (DRC) has been established through appointment by the Board of Directors of Daybreak. The Design Review Committee is responsible for reviewing all proposed changes, modifications, or additions to the exterior of each home, to include but not limited to structural changes, landscaping, walls, fences, gates, driveways, walkways, pools, and in essence, anything visible from a public street (including alleys) or common area.

All proposed changes, additions and improvements must be submitted to the DRC for approval, and no work may begin without the approval of the DRC. Any changes, additions or improvements made without required prior DRC approval may be cited as a violation and be subject to a fine by the Association.

Applicability and Implementation

These Design Guidelines are authorized to be used by the Daybreak Design Review Committee (DRC) in evaluating the merits of subsequent proposed development within Daybreak. The Community Founder, under the adopted Declaration, has the exclusive authority to interpret, amend and add to any of the standards contained within this document.

The implementation and enforcement of the standards in this document will be through the DRC, which will be responsible for design reviews and approvals.

These standards are specifically directed at the evaluation of residential uses, but they are to be used in concert with related standards where overlap exists. The following apply to the implementation of these standards:

• These standards are binding on any person or entity intending to construct, reconstruct or modify any residential property or improvement, or in any way alter the site of Daybreak.
• The standards and the associated design review procedures established in this document are the criteria and process by which the DRC will review, approve or disapprove individual projects.
• The standards are subject to change when the DRC determines such change is in the best interest of Daybreak.
• Adherence to these design guidelines does not remove responsibility to conform to local, state and national codes and regulations.
• Where differences exist between these standards and any City of South Jordan ordinances, the more stringent ruling shall prevail.
• The DRC shall have the rights and powers conferred upon it by the CC&Rs.
• The DRC is responsible for the administration of and compliance with the community Design Guidelines.
• If any applicant fails to comply with these Design Guidelines, the DRC shall have the right to bring compliance or commence appropriate legal action and collect to recover all the costs associated with its actions.
• The DRC reviews submittals for proposed improvements solely for aesthetics and compatibility with the community.
• The DRC has adopted these standards and it is the responsibility of the DRC to review, study and approve or disapprove any proposed improvements or development in Daybreak based on the standards established.

Any review, study and/or approval by the DRC shall not constitute an approval, ratification or endorsement of any life-safety aspects of the improvements, the quality or architectural or engineering soundness of the proposed plan or improvements, nor the suitability of the improvements for its intended use. Neither the DRC, its members, nor officers of the HOA, shall have any liability in connection with, or related to, approved plans, specifications, or improvements.

Further, once an applicant has received final design review approval from the DRC, and the project has been constructed and approved as consistent with the DRC’s approved plans and specifications, the project improvements shall be maintained in the originally approved style and character, including architecture, landscape architecture, color, signage detail and design character. Any proposed variances from the original design and development character approved by the DRC shall be submitted to, and approved by, the DRC.
