Hearthstone West

What Hearthstone West's governing documents say

Hearthstone West is a standard single-family home subdivision in Chandler, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) recorded in 1984. These rules apply to all lot owners and residents, covering use restrictions, parking, animals, signage, and maintenance obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home. The CC&Rs require you to maintain your property and landscaping (front yard landscaping must be completed within 90 days of occupancy). Party fences between lots are jointly maintained, with specific rules for repair costs.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is limited to deliveries and short-term guests. Motor vehicles must be parked in the carport or driveway. No buses, vans, or trucks with a carrying capacity over 3/4 ton or designed for commercial purposes are allowed unless attractively screened. Carports cannot be used for storage, workshops, or vehicle repairs.
• Pets & animals: No animals, reptiles, fish, or birds may be raised, bred, or kept for commercial purposes. Household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) are allowed as long as they are not a nuisance or threat.
• Exterior restrictions: No exterior radio or CB antennas. No outside speakers or amplifiers. Outside lighting must be indirect. No open burning or incinerators (except residential barbecues). Signs are limited to mailboxes, nameplates, and one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign. No exterior storage unless screened from view. Fences cannot exceed 6 feet in height and must not be placed nearer to the front street than the front wall of the home.
• Property use & nuisances: No lot may be used in a manner that presents an unsightly appearance (including clothes drying in public view), creates a nuisance, or violates any law. No oil, mining, or quarrying operations. No further subdivision of lots. Sidewalk encroachments by plants are prohibited above ground level to 7 feet.
• Term & amendments: The restrictions run with the land for 30 years from recording date (1984), automatically renewing for successive 10-year periods unless 75% of owners vote to change them. The Declarant (builder) retains the right to amend without owner consent while still owning any lot.
