Note: This is a draft transcription of the official ARC guidelines and may contain errors.
A “patio enclosure” is any patio cover that has exterior walls (other than “sunrooms”). Building permits from League City are required prior to ARC approval.
Location:
Patio enclosures may not encroach on any utility or drainage easement nor may they violate the building setback lines applicable to the residential dwelling on any lot. Patio enclosures may not interfere with drainage or cause water to flow onto any adjacent lot. Patio enclosures must be located in the rear yard and must be a minimum of five (5) feet from side fence lines and eight (8) feet from the rear fence line.
Material:
The standard, type, quality and color of the materials used in the construction of patio enclosures must be harmonious with the standard, type, quality and color of the materials used in construction of the main residence (i.e. brick enclosure must be made to match the brick indigenous to the home). The roof must be shingled to match the existing roof in color, type, and quality. Corrugated roofs for patio enclosures may not be permitted under any circumstances. The exterior color of the walls, doors, windowsills, beams, frames or other visible supports must match the exterior color of the residence. Covered patio enclosures must be maintained in good condition at all times. Additional landscape screening may be required.
Dimensions:
The lowest point-of the-patio-cover may not exceed nine (9) feet from ground level (typical first floor plate height). The patio enclosure roof shall provide an attractive slope with a minimum 4/12 roof pitch away from the house, at an angle that does not exceed that of the roof of the residence. Flat roof patio enclosures are not permitted. No patio cover shall protrude from the sides of the residence. Patio covers may not encroach the building line.
