Artisan Village at Gila Springs

What Artisan Village at Gila Springs's governing documents say

Artisan Village at Gila Springs is a condominium community in Chandler, AZ — you own your individual unit and share ownership of common elements. The condominium includes both residential units and designated 'live-work' units that may be used for business purposes. This declaration also places the community under a master association (Gila Springs Association) with additional rules and assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior finished surfaces and airspace of your unit, plus fixtures like ranges and water heaters. The association maintains common elements (structural parts, roofs, landscaping, parking, etc.) and limited common elements assigned to your unit (e.g., garage, balcony, A/C unit).
• Live-work units: Ten specific units (e.g., 145, 149, 150) are designated 'live-work units' and may be used for business purposes in compliance with Chandler's C-1 zoning. Customers and invitees of these units may not use recreational common elements, but owners and their families may.
• Residential use & home businesses: Units (except live-work) must be used exclusively as residences. However, owners may conduct a business activity within a unit as long as it is not detectable from outside by sight, sound, or smell.
• Design review & alterations: No exterior changes (painting, landscaping, awnings, etc.) and no structural interior changes may be made without prior written approval from the Board or Design Review Committee. Nonstructural interior changes that don't affect mechanical systems are allowed without approval.
• Assessments: Each unit pays an equal share of common expenses — initially 1/85th. Assessments include annual, special, and capital improvement charges. Delinquent assessments can result in fines, suspension of voting rights, and lien enforcement.
• Master association: All units are subject to the Gila Springs Master Declaration and must pay additional assessments to the Master Association. In case of conflict, the Master Declaration controls over this condominium declaration.
• Vehicles & parking: Parking is regulated (Section 5.20), but specific rules (guest parking, vehicle types, etc.) are not detailed in the excerpt provided.
