City code and CC&Rs are two readings
The city landscaping page says CC&Rs can be stricter than city code, and that residents should review both before making changes. A city approval is not an HOA approval. An HOA approval is not a city approval.
What to gather before you ask
- Obtain the current CC&Rs and the design standards for your association.
- Read the city’s front-yard and corner street-side specs on the rules page, including pile, face weight, permeability, warranty, and infill.
- Sketch the area, including the five-foot diameter kept clear around trees and the planting that is not rock.
- Submit samples and a site plan when the HOA process asks for them.
- Request approval in writing. Keep that letter separate from the city’s approval letter.
Common areas are a different rule
Artificial turf is not permitted.
That sentence sits in the landscaping provisions for nonresidential property and common open space. A residential yard allowance does not authorize turf in an HOA common area. If the project is a shared park, a clubhouse yard, or other common open space, do not treat a home approval as permission.
The city application is still separate
The application PDF lists a $75 review fee. Wait for the city’s approval letter before installation. First comments are anticipated in 10 to 12 business days. That is not a promised approval deadline. Installation is expected within 60 days, and a final inspection is requested after installation.

Questions
Does this page list which Saratoga Springs neighborhoods allow turf?
No. No neighborhood-by-neighborhood artificial-turf policy was confirmed for this guide. Read your own CC&Rs and design standards, and ask the HOA for written approval.
Is city approval the same as HOA approval?
No. The city landscaping page says CC&Rs can be stricter than city code and that residents should review both before making changes. Keep the city application and the HOA approval as two steps.
Can an HOA common area use the residential turf allowance?
Section 19.06.06 says artificial turf is not permitted under that section's landscaping provisions for nonresidential and common open space. A home-yard allowance does not cover an HOA common area.
