Before City Planning will issue a building permit they will require a set of plans with the Riviera Committee On Architecture stamp affixed. In compliance with the Riviera District CC&Rs, please contact a member of our Committee On Architecture to review your plans for either remodeling or building in the Riviera. We are not concerned with architectural styles, exterior paint colors, or landscaping. We are primarily concerned with maintaining the 16-foot, or where allowed by lot number, the 25-foot building height restriction. Setback distances also concern us. And Riviera needs continuous sidewalks. Current volunteer Committee members are Pete Van Nuys (492-5737), Brian Mertz (422-6155), and Bob Joseph (949-201-5470).
