What The Estates at Happy Valley's governing documents say

The Estates at Happy Valley is a standard single-family home HOA in Glendale, AZ, with 28 custom-built lots. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) sets the rules for all owners, residents, and guests. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces architectural and use restrictions to preserve the community's upscale character.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes, including construction, painting, landscaping, and fences, require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. A $200 review fee applies. If the committee does not respond within 30 days of a complete application, approval is deemed given.
• Pets: Up to two domestic pets (dogs, cats, or similar household birds) are allowed per lot. Dogs and cats must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the owner's lot and must not enter other lots. No commercial breeding or nuisance noise is permitted.
• Minimum square footage: Each residential unit must have at least 5,000 square feet of livable space under roof, excluding porches or garages.
• Building materials & setbacks: Exterior walls must be built with Insulated Concrete Form Block (85% recycled styrene with 15% Portland cement) or similar approved material. Rear setbacks are 25 ft; side setbacks are 10 ft (up to 10 ft of wall may be within 5 ft of the side property line). Height must comply with City of Peoria requirements.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Owners must landscape their lot within 6 months of first occupancy, including an irrigation system, per approved plans. Lawns, shrubs, and trees must be kept trimmed and weed-free. Dead plants must be replaced promptly.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, RVs, boats, or commercial vehicles may be parked on lots or streets without Architectural Committee approval, unless parked in a garage or in a fenced rear/side yard not visible from neighboring property. Motorcycles and off-road vehicles must be kept in garages.
