The Highlands at Gilbert

What The Highlands at Gilbert's governing documents say

This is a legal supplement to a commercial property development's covenants, specifically for Lot 2 in The Highlands at Gilbert mixed-use retail center. It sets binding rules for the owner of Lot 2 (currently a Del Taco restaurant) and restricts uses of other lots in the development. The document is primarily relevant to commercial property owners and tenants, not residential homeowners.

• Building envelope & limitations: Only one single-story building is allowed on Lot 2, with a maximum floor area of 3,500 square feet. The building must be constructed within a designated 'Building Envelope' shown on the site plan.
• Use restrictions & exclusives: Lot 2 must operate as a Del Taco (quick-service Mexican food) for at least one year. Other lots in the development are restricted from operating certain competing restaurants (e.g., no other restaurant deriving over 10% of menu items from Mexican food, no bone-in chicken restaurant on most lots, and various other exclusive use protections for entities like Starbucks, Cracker Barrel, Rudy's, Noodles, etc.).
• Signage: Lot 2 may install building signage approved by the Town of Gilbert, but no free-standing signs except directional signs. Owner gets exclusive use of one-quarter of a shared monument sign and must pay 25% of monument sign costs. All signs require Manager approval.
• Parking & employees: Owner must maintain enough parking to meet government regulations and the site plan. Employees must park only on Lot 2. Failure to enforce can lead to a judicial order.
• Common area maintenance (site lighting): Parking lot pole lights on Lot 2 are powered by a meter owned by the Manager, who must keep them on from dusk to dawn (subject to force majeure).
• Amendment & notices: This supplement may be amended only by a signed writing of both Manager and Owner of Lot 2, recorded in official records. Notices to Lot 2 owner must be sent to Desert Taco LLC at a specific address and email.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document—a supplement to a larger Declaration (ECR). It does not contain the full association rules, assessment amounts, architectural review procedures, or residential restrictions. Readers must consult the full ECR and other supplements for complete governing documents.
