Bashas’ Thunderbird Village

What Bashas’ Thunderbird Village's governing documents say

Bashas’ Thunderbird Village is a commercial shopping center in Glendale, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Grant of Easements. This document establishes rules for the development, maintenance, and use of the property, which is intended for retail, service, and other commercial uses. The rules bind the owners (typically businesses or investors) and their tenants, occupants, and users.

• Permitted Uses: The shopping center must be used solely for commercial purposes, including business, professional, retail, service, restaurant, and mercantile establishments. Certain uses are explicitly prohibited, such as auctions, pawn shops, thrift stores, auto sales/service, car washes (except with a convenience store on designated lots), places of worship, libraries, adult entertainment, and others. Training/educational facilities and entertainment/recreational facilities are restricted unless specifically allowed (e.g., a preschool/day care on Future Pad A or B, a health spa/dance studio up to 1,200 square feet at least 80 feet from the grocery store).
• Exclusive Rights & Anchors: The Declarant may grant exclusive use rights to certain tenants (e.g., a major grocery store or drugstore) for specific business types or products. Any such exclusive right is binding on all owners and occupants once recorded. The Bashas’ lease (a major grocery anchor) takes precedence over this Declaration in case of conflict.
• Architectural Design Review: All improvements (buildings, landscaping, signs, etc.) require approval of Architectural Documents by the Declarant before construction. The review focuses on exterior design, materials, colors, site plan conformance, grading, drainage, landscaping, and signage. Declarant has 20 days to approve or disapprove; failure to respond constitutes approval. Variances may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
• Common Areas & Maintenance: Common Areas include parking lots, roadways, sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, utility lines, and other shared spaces. Declarant is responsible for maintaining them (e.g., sweeping, repaving, striping, landscaping, lighting) and recovers costs as Common Expenses from Obligated Owners on a pro rata basis. Owners pay their share of Common Expenses; liens may be imposed for nonpayment.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking is limited to passenger vehicles of users. Delivery vehicles with more than four wheels must use designated loading areas. Employee parking is directed to specific areas to keep prime spaces for customers. Vehicles parked in violation may be towed. No outdoor sales/display on Common Areas except by promotional events approved by Declarant and most owners.
• Restrictions on Use & Activities: Prohibited activities include: outdoor storage, burning trash, excessive noise/odors, hazardous materials (except gas stations), animal raising/storage (except vet/pet shop), drilling for subsurface materials, manufacturing, warehousing, mortuaries, and unlawfulness. Temporary displays or sales require written approval. No walls/fences that impede pedestrian or vehicular flow.
• Signs: Signage must comply with the Sign Criteria attached as Exhibit C, which may be amended to match City of Peoria requirements. No owner may install signs on another owner's lot without consent. Pylon/monument signs in Common Areas are maintained by Declarant, but lot owners pay for their own signage.
• Construction & Alterations: All construction must follow approved plans, be performed in a first-class workmanlike manner, minimize interference, and comply with laws. Owners must fence off construction sites with 6-foot chain link fencing, control dust, and repair any damage. Emergency work is allowed with prompt notice.
