Home Improvements

Don't forget to turn in a "Request for Architectural Improvement form" (located on the the Documents page) for any changes that you are planning to do to the outside of your home or to the yard. PC&R Article 8.4 has a list of changes not requiring prior approval. The current version of the form includes a page of instructions that provides additional information about what is required for specific project types.

Did You Know?

Our HOA does not own the slopes, they are private property owned by the adjacent homeowners. Our HOA does maintain them and controls what is done on them - please do not walk, play or bike on them as this is trespassing.

Storm Drain

Storm Drain Failure

In March, a buried storm drain behind Santa Victoria collapsed creating a 40' sink hole and water reservoir. The City of Solana Beach handled all the repair work which took 5 weeks. See the September 2023 Newsletter for more details.

CAUTION: Now is the time to check and see where the water from your gutter and yard drains is going - take a hose to your downspout and turn on the water to see where it flows out. City Code requires all drainage to flow to the street NOT the slope behind your house. If yours is running down the slope you could be liable for any slope failure. A lack of knowledge is not an excuse. Check your drainage system now!

Neighbor Friendly Lighting

Our community encourages neighbor friendly lighting. Outdoor lighting that is excessive and misdirected can intrude on the privacy of others when light or glare trespasses over property lines.

Principles for Limiting Light Pollution:
(click here for more details)

Use light only if it is needed.
Direct light so it falls only where it is needed.
Use light only when it is needed.
Light only to the brightness needed.
Minimize blue light to the amount needed.

Streetlights: Shielded streetlights direct light downward and not into bedroom windows. To request partial or circular light shields on streetlights, email the City of Solana Beach Public Works Manager, Luis Carrillo at lcarrillo@cosb.org.

Slope Maintenance

Every effort is made by the San Elijo Hills HOA to keep the unique "look and feel" of our beautiful neighborhood through the maintenance of the privately owned slopes. A maintenance crew works three days a week on these slopes along with a tree service crew who works regularly on the maintenance of the large Eucalyptus and Pine trees. The HOA also consults with a certified arborist and a fire prevention specialist regarding the safety of the slopes. This work has created an attractive and cohesive environment throughout the development.

In 2018, the HOA started a long term project of replacing and upgrading the original, galvanized irrigation pipes on these slopes with new PVC pipes, water efficient sprinklers and valves. Since then, large sections have been replaced annually, with work continuing for the next few years. Once the irrigation upgrade is completed on a slope, planting is done, filling in the slope with plants that are drought tolerant and fire resistant. This work will continue the until all the HOA maintained slopes have been upgraded.
