There are many areas that prohibit garage doors that face the street...and many folks who prefer that particular aesthetic. I'm one of them, honestly, but that's a subjective thing. Sometimes it's not so much about garage doors as it is that the "garage" overwhelms the front of the house structure. That's not likely to be the case in a development with larger homes, but it is something that happens a lot in other settings. Many of the developments around here have side entry garages, but it's not exclusive.
That said, I figured you outfitted the building to handle a garage door for resale reasons. You don't have to install an actual garage door in it, however. You could build a wall that looks like a garage door on the outside, but is a usable wall on the inside...or install the door and build a wall inside of it that could be easily and quickly removed in the future. So many choices...
