Ocotillo Lakes

What Ocotillo Lakes's governing documents say

Ocotillo Lakes is a master-planned community in Chandler, AZ governed by a master Ocotillo Community Association with sub-associations formed for individual parcels. These documents are Tract Declarations dated 1996—supplements to the 1985 master Declaration that designate specific parcels (single-family, multi-family apartments, commercial) and their initial membership counts within the association. They are not a complete rulebook; the full rules, assessments, and restrictions are in the master Declaration.

• Community structure & membership: Each parcel has a sub-association; all owners belong to both their sub-association and the master Ocotillo Community Association. Parcel A (single-family) has 56 initial memberships, Parcel B has 72, and the multi-family parcel has 75.
• Design & development approval: No building permit or construction can begin without written approval from the Declarant and the Ocotillo Community Association's Design Review Board of all plans, specifications, landscaping, and required easements and dedications.
• Parcel subdivision limits: Parcels cannot be further subdivided or conveyed in part without written approval from both the Declarant and the Association, and only in compliance with all applicable laws.
• Inundation easement (flood risk): Low-lying portions of each parcel (below 1192–1195 feet elevation, depending on parcel) are subject to an inundation easement for water overflow from lakes or effluent. The Association and Declarant have no liability for overflow; owners indemnify them against all damages and claims.
• Reclaimed water (effluent): Reclaimed effluent from the City of Chandler is available but not required. Owners choosing to use effluent must indemnify the Association and Declarant; neither is liable if effluent is unavailable or insufficient.
• Common area maintenance: Until conveyed to and accepted by the Association, the Parcel owner must develop and maintain common areas at their own cost per Association-approved standards. After conveyance, the Association maintains them as part of regular assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: These Tract Declarations are amendments to the 1985 master Declaration and do not include assessment amounts, resident rules (pets, leasing, behavior), architectural guidelines, governance procedures, or complete restrictions. Refer to the master Declaration for the full ruleset.
