Architecture Committee: June 2026

Niguel Shores is in the midst of a construction boom. Take a look around and you’ll see most every
street has story poles or a porta-potty on display. If you are in the middle of a renovation, here
are a few things to keep in mind and to share with your contractor.

Construction Protocols
■ Please note that while certain interior improvements may not require prior approval from the
Association, all con-struction-related activities remain subject to the Associa-tion’s construction
rules, regulations, and permitted work-ing hours. Residents and contractors should also be aware
that the Association’s approved construction hours differ from those established by the City of
Dana Point, and compliance with the Association’s schedule is required at all times while working
within the community.
■ To help preserve the appearance, safety, and residential character of Niguel Shores, contractors
are not permit-ted to store vehicles, trailers, equipment, or construction materials within the
community outside of authorized working hours. All construction vehicles, trailers, and related
equipment must leave the community no later than 5:00 p.m. on approved construction days unless
oth-erwise specifically authorized by the Association.
■ Owners are responsible for the conduct and compliance of all contractors, subcontractors,
vendors, and ser-vice providers performing work at their property. This includes ensuring adherence
to community rules regard-ing cleanliness, debris and trash removal, noise levels, parking, and
general job site management. Contractors are expected to maintain work areas in a neat and orderly
condition and to minimize disruption to neighboring res-idents whenever possible.
■ Please be advised that any complaints, violations, fines, or enforcement actions related to
contractor activity will be directed to the property owner, as the Association’s governing
authority and enforcement procedures apply to the owner of record rather than individual
contractors.
Let’s be respectful of our neighbors while we upgrade our property.
