  1. All exterior lighting must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee (the
    “ACC”) for type, location and illumination. The type, color, and quality of all exterior lighting on a
    Lot must be compatible with the exterior lighting generally used throughout the community, as
    determined by the ACC. Outdoor lighting shall be installed in such a way to shield or minimize the
    amount of spill light on adjacent properties, homes or streets. All exterior lighting must be kept in a
    clean and working manner.
  2. “Security lighting” is defined as fixed exterior lighting installed at or near points of
    ingress and egress (doors, garages, driveways, walkways) designed to illuminate specific functional
    areas for safety and security purposes, and not installed as continuous architectural, soffit, roofline,
    or perimeter lighting. Lighting systems installed continuously along rooflines, soffits, eaves, or
    architectural trim shall be classified as architectural or decorative lighting and shall not qualify as
    security lighting. Security lighting shall be limited in quantity and placement to what is reasonably
    necessary to illuminate entry points, walkways, and driveways and shall not be installed as whole
    home or continuous perimeter systems.
  3. All exterior lighting must be approved by the ACC prior to installation.
    Applications submitted to the ACC for installation of exterior lighting must include, in addition
    to the standard ACC application requirements, a diagram of the home with markings showing
    the proposed location of the lighting.
  4. Exterior lighting shall be permanently mounted to a structure or installed in a
    fixed, permanent manner approved by the ACC; however, string lights shall be permitted to be
    displayed in backyards so long as the lights are not visible from the front of the house/residence.
    Temporary lighting installations are prohibited (e.g., lighting that is staked down in the grass).
    Exception: Low-power solar lighting used for flower beds and walkways is permitted, provided
    such lighting is stationary, non-decorative, and does not create glare, spillover, or nuisance
    conditions.
  5. All exterior lighting shall emit white light only, as defined by industry-recognized
    correlated color temperature (CCT) standards. White light includes warm white, neutral white,
    and cool white tones commonly used for residential safety and security lighting. Lighting that
    emits colored light, including but not limited to red, blue, green, purple, or any non-white hue, is
    prohibited. In addition, lighting systems that are color-changing, RGB, programmable, blinking,
    pulsing, flashing, strobing, animated, or capable of changing color or pattern, whether enabled
    or disabled, are not permitted.
  6. Any exterior lighting relating to sports activities, including but not limited to,
    tennis courts, basketball courts, sport courts, swimming pools, etc. must be turned off by 10:00pm.
    Pole lighting shall be a maximum of twelve feet (12’) in height and lighting shall be directed down
    and shielded to prevent any light spillage over a neighboring fence.
  7. Outdoor lighting shall be compatible with the prevalent lighting in Austin’s
    Colony, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.
  8. In the event of a dispute between Owners or residents regarding the aim or
    direction of exterior lighting, the Association shall have no obligation to participate in the
    resolution of the dispute. The dispute shall be resolved solely by and between the Owners or
    residents.
  9. Enforcement. A violation of this Policy constitutes a violation of the dedicatory
    instruments [as that term is defined in Texas Property Code Section 209.002(4)] governing the
    residential properties under the jurisdiction of the Association.
  10. Variance. The Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may authorize variances
    from compliance with any of the provisions of this Policy.
  11. This Policy does not apply to temporary holiday lighting expressly permitted
    under the Association’s separately adopted Seasonal Lighting Policy for Austin’s Colony
    Homeowners Association of Bryan, Inc. filed of record in the Real Property Records of Brazos
    County, Texas.
  12. Lighting Pollution will be minimized as much as possible between the hours of
    11:00pm and dawn.
