What is the Architectural(Deed) Review Committee?
The Architectural Review Committee ("ARC") was established by the Oak Forest Bylaws and prescribed by the original Deed Restrictions. Its purpose is to review all construction and renovation plans prior to their submission to the City of Houston for the City's permitting process. The DRC also receives and reviews complaints from Oak Forest neighbors regarding Deed Restriction violations and the DRC does its best to help those neighbors find the right solution.
Who is on the ARC?
The ARC is a committee of volunteers who are members of OFHA, its Chair is the 1st Vice President of the OFHA Board, and the committee members usually have prior experience reviewing building plans and may be engineers or builders themselves. It is not necessary to have experience reviewing building plans to join this Committee because there are other tasks to be handled!
