Elliot Business Center Association

What Elliot Business Center Association's governing documents say

Elliot Business Center is a commercial condominium in Gilbert, AZ — units are owned individually but share common elements and are restricted to professional/office use only; no residential use is permitted. This document is the full declaration of condominium, binding all unit owners, and covers ownership rights, maintenance responsibilities, use restrictions, architectural controls, assessments, insurance, and procedures for damage, condemnation, and obsolescence.

• Permitted use (professional only): All units are restricted to professional use only. No residential use is allowed. No noxious, offensive, or hazardous activities are permitted, and all uses must comply with city zoning.
• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, HVAC). The association maintains the common elements (exterior walls, roofs, landscaping, walkways, parking areas) and carries master property and liability insurance. You are responsible for interior maintenance and for your limited common elements (e.g., assigned parking spaces, entryways).
• Architectural review & standards: Any exterior alteration, addition, or sign requires prior written approval from the Board of Directors (acting as Architectural Committee). Detailed design guidelines cover building materials, colors, roof equipment, walls, signs, parking design, and utility lines. Approval is deemed granted if the Board fails to act within 30 days (with possible 30-day extension).
• Parking & vehicles: Each site must provide adequate off-street parking; on-street parking is discouraged. Parking areas must be paved, and spaces must conform to city code. Canopy or shade structures may be installed with approval. The Board may prohibit any vehicle that creates noise or is unsightly. No open storage of vehicles or trailers is allowed unless screened.
• Assessments & finances: Common expense assessments are based on each unit's undivided interest in the common elements. Special assessments require a 60% vote of all unit owners. Delinquent assessments incur a 5% late fee and 18% annual interest. Assessments are secured by a lien on the unit and are the personal obligation of the owner. Declarant-owned units not substantially complete pay only 25% of the full assessment.
• Insurance requirements: The association must maintain property insurance on common elements (full replacement cost), liability insurance (minimum $1M per occurrence, $2M umbrella), workers' comp if applicable, and D&O insurance (minimum $1M). Each unit owner must insure their own improvements, personal property, and liability, and provide certificates upon request.
• Use restrictions & prohibitions: No residential use. No temporary structures, no window air conditioners, no reflective window materials, no exterior antennas/satellite dishes (except as approved), no exterior speakers, no garbage visible from other parts, no hazardous materials, no immoral/unlawful use. All refuse must be in approved containers and screened. Utility lines must be underground.
