Pace Rosewood

What Pace Rosewood's governing documents say

Pace Rosewood is a townhouse community in Glendale, AZ governed by a 1973 Declaration of Covenants where you own your individual unit and share common areas maintained by the association through per-lot assessments. The association is responsible for all exterior maintenance and common facilities; residents are responsible for interiors and individual patios.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse interior, patio, and interior fixtures (from where utilities enter the exterior wall inward); the association maintains all exteriors (roofs, gutters, siding, landscaping, trees, walks). Party wall repair costs are shared with adjacent owners in proportion to use, or paid entirely by the owner whose negligence caused damage.
• Assessments & fees: Initial maximum annual assessment was $420 per lot (1973). Annual increases up to 3% require no vote; increases above 3% require a 2/3 vote of membership. Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 8% per annum and create a lien on the property.
• Membership & voting: Initially, Class A members (all owners except the developer) held one vote per lot; the Class B member (the developer) held three votes per lot. Class B converted to Class A when Class A votes equaled Class B votes or by April 30, 1975 (long since expired in this 1973 document).
• Pets: Household pets such as dogs and cats are allowed, provided they are not kept for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry permitted.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: All lots restricted to residential use only; no business activities, temporary structures (trailers, tents, shacks) as residences, or unsightly objects permitted. No antennas without written board approval. Clotheslines must be confined to patios. Regular trash removal required.
• Architectural review: Any new building, fence, wall, or exterior alteration requires written board approval of plans (showing nature, color, shape, height, materials, and location). The board has 30 days to approve or disapprove; failure to respond within 30 days deems approval granted.
• Damage & disputes: Owners causing damage to common areas or adjoining units must pay for repairs; failure to repair within 60 days (six months for townhouse exteriors) allows the association to perform repairs and lien the property at 8% interest. Disputes go to three-arbitrator arbitration with costs split equally.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a 1973 original declaration plus contemporaneous amendments; it does not reflect current assessment amounts, bylaws, or enforcement practices. Consult the association for current lease policies, parking rules, unit alteration procedures, and any amendments after 1973.
