Long Range Plan Survey

The Facility Review Committee recently conducted a series of workshops to gauge the community’s interest in future community enhancements as part of a proposed “Long Range Plan.” The purpose of this survey is to allow residents an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas for amenity enhancements.

Now that the workshops have ended, a survey has been posted at www.canyonlakepoa.com (and is available in paper form in the Member Services Office) asking homeowners to vote for the top five enhancements they would like to see on a Long Range Plan (one survey per tract and lot).

Main Gate Signage

Proposals are coming in to the Association for new Main Gate signage. Several concepts have been proposed thus far and are posted under “Projects” at www.canyonlakepoa.com. Members are asked to email their thoughts on these concepts to projects@canyonlakepoa.com. or call 951-244-6841, ext. 210.
