Cornerstone at Coyote Ranch

What Cornerstone at Coyote Ranch's governing documents say

Cornerstone at Coyote Ranch is a single-family home neighborhood within the larger Coyote Ranch master-planned community in Casa Grande, AZ. This document is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all homeowners in this neighborhood, binding them to specific property standards, maintenance obligations, and association assessments. The neighborhood is governed by the Cornerstone at Coyote Ranch Association, which operates under the umbrella of the Coyote Ranch Master Association.

• Architectural & design standards: Homes must be at least 2,500 sq ft of enclosed living space (excluding garages, patios). Maximum 1.5 stories, height limited to 25 feet above finished grade. Each lot requires a fully enclosed garage for at least 3 cars, including a side-entry garage for 2 cars; front-entry garages are allowed only if set back at least 30 feet from the front of the main home. Roofing must be tile or approved material; composition shingles are prohibited. All exposed concrete (driveways, sidewalks) must be colored (not gray). No structure may be within 40 feet of the front property line. Driveways are limited to a width of 16 feet and a maximum of two driveways per lot.
• Guest houses & detached structures: A detached guest house or detached garage (but not both) may be built on a lot, subject to Architectural Committee approval. A guest house cannot exceed 1,000 sq ft, must be built at the same time or after the main residence, and cannot be leased separately (only as part of a lease for the entire property).
• Construction deposits & damage protection: Before starting construction, reconstruction, or major remodeling, the owner or contractor must deposit $2,500 with the Cornerstone Association to cover potential damage to common area landscaping or irrigation. The deposit is refunded after work is completed and inspected, but the association may use it to repair damage. The deposit does not cap liability.
• Assessments & fees: The Association levies annual assessments against each lot. For 2001, the maximum annual assessment per lot was $864. Thereafter, the maximum can increase annually by either the CPI increase or 10%, whichever is greater, unless a higher increase is approved by a 2/3 vote of members. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. Each new owner pays a transfer fee set by the Board, and a $300 reserve deposit at closing. Lots owned by the Declarant are exempt from assessments during the Period of Declarant Control; the Declarant subsidizes any shortfall.
• Master association relationship: This neighborhood is subject to the Coyote Ranch Master Declaration, which takes precedence in case of conflict unless this Declaration imposes stricter restrictions. Assessments under this Declaration are in addition to any master association assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not address pet restrictions, leasing or rental rules, or age restrictions. It also does not spell out common area amenities or the master association's own rules. For those details, refer to the Master Declaration and other project documents.
