DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (DERC)

This five-member committee is responsible for the review and approval of all exterior projects on the private properties within the Association, and enforcement of the Covenants, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s)

The construction requirements and the allowed uses of properties are detailed in the Construction and Usage Standards booklet maintained by this Committee. Construction plan submittal procedures are also included in this booklet. Hard copies are available by calling 925-634-5598.

The DERC meets the second and fourth Mondays (7:30 pm) of each month at 1900 Willow Lake Road in the Delta Community Presbyterian church building in Discovery Bay. Plans for review by the Committee must be received one week prior to the meeting for inclusion on the agenda. Arrangements for submitting the plans can be made by calling 925-634-5598 or emailing us.

Most projects require additional approvals by Reclamation District No.800, the Town of Discovery Bay, and generally the Contra Costa County Building Department. The DERC can advise the applicant which ones are required for a specific project.

Applicants are welcomed to attend the DERC meeting at which their project will be reviewed, but are not required to do so. They will be notified by mail of the action taken and any possible conditions attached to the project.
