The Community Development District 9 Board of Supervisors will take a fresh look at its color palettes to head off potentially “gaudy” painting of homes.
CDDs in The Villages several years ago began adopting color palettes to offer guidance to homeowners in The Villages.
CDD 9, which has 5,409 home sites, in 2015 approved seven paint color palettes for exterior home repainting. If a homeowner wants to repaint the home the original color or plans to stick to the color palettes, an appearance before the Architectural Review Committee is not required.
During February’s meeting, some CDD 9 supervisors indicated a homeowner could stick to the palettes and choose a color while his next-door neighbor, also sticking to the palettes, could choose a color or hue at the extreme edge of the range that might conflict with the color of a neighbor’s home. The board directed staff to provide options for the exterior home color palettes to address the board’s concerns. That discussion was to take place in March, but that meeting was canceled due to rising concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus.
CDD 9 will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Savannah Center. The meeting is open to the public, and social distancing will be practiced.
