Sycamore Springs Homeowners Association

What Sycamore Springs Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is an administrative law judge decision (not the full governing documents) for Sycamore Springs Homeowners Association, a planned community in Tucson, AZ. It resolves a dispute between homeowners and the association about flagpole approval and building envelope violations, and reveals key rules from the community's CC&Rs and Design Guidelines.

• Flag display: The association cannot restrict the front or backyard display of the American flag per Arizona law (ARS §33-1808). The CC&Rs do not grant the association authority to limit flagpole height or mobility, or to confine the flag to a side yard.
• Building envelope: Each lot has a maximum building envelope of 22,000 square feet—the area within which all clearing, grading, improvements, or alterations are allowed (Design Guidelines §III(A)). The envelope includes the living area and a transition zone disturbed during construction. Surveys should be conducted in person for accuracy.
• Design modification requests: Homeowners must submit a Design Modification Request (DMR) for changes like flagpoles. The association's approval must comply with the CC&Rs and state law; the management company's actions are binding on the association if authorized.
• What this document doesn't cover: This decision does not include full CC&Rs or design guidelines. It omits rules on assessments, common areas, pets, leasing, parking, or other typical HOA restrictions. It only addresses the specific dispute issues.
