Village of Gila Springs

What Village of Gila Springs's governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Gila Springs, a master-planned community in Chandler, Arizona. The document establishes a master association (Gila Springs Association) that governs the entire development, which includes residential, commercial, industrial, and rental apartment parcels. It applies to all lot and parcel owners within the community.

• What you own & maintain: Owners hold fee simple title to individual lots or parcels; the master association owns and maintains common areas (e.g., lakes, recreation facilities) funded by assessments. Subsidiary associations may be formed for sub-neighborhoods to own and maintain additional common areas.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot or parcel. Maximum initial annual assessment: $144 per lot, $108 per rental apartment, $950 per acre for commercial/industrial parcels. Board may increase by up to CPI annually without vote; larger increases require 2/3 vote. Special assessments also require 2/3 vote. Assessments are a lien on the property if unpaid.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (Article 8) controls all improvements, alterations, and landscaping. Owners must obtain prior approval; committee can adopt rules and issue variances. Unapproved changes may be subject to enforcement.
• Pets & animals: Animals are regulated (Section 7.10), but specific limits are not stated in this excerpt. Likely subject to Association Rules.
• Parking & vehicles: The Board may designate special parking areas (Section 1.42). Rules concerning motor vehicles and parking are covered in Sections 7.15 and 7.16, but details are not fully legible. Expect restrictions on commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and on-street parking.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental apartments are allowed as a land use classification (Section 1.37). The document does not impose minimum lease terms for residential lots; however, tenant behavior is subject to Association Rules and the declaration.
• Water rights & distribution: The community has a water distribution system for SRVWUA (Salt River Valley Water Users' Association) water. Owners appoint the association as agent to receive and deliver water. Owners must pay for water usage and capital costs of extending the system.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is incomplete and garbled; it does not include specific restrictions on short-term rentals, age restrictions, detailed architectural guidelines, or current assessment amounts. Complete rules are in the full Declaration, Bylaws, and Association Rules.
