2. Is a CONTRACT created with submission of Architectural Modification Requests and responding Architectural Modification Approvals?
3. To what degree might contract law apply to 1 & 2 above?

It is not a contract per se, but is rather a land use control. Land use controls involve zoning, easements, servitudes, and restrictions. You actually have a land use restriction.

I agree with Mr. Roach. There are similar legal principals that may be involved, but it is not a contract and contract law does not apply.
