Rancho Grande Tres

What Rancho Grande Tres's governing documents say

Rancho Grande Tres is a single-family home subdivision in Laveen, AZ. These Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) run with the land and apply to all current and future owners, residents, and occupants. The rules emphasize rural residential living, including allowances for horses and livestock, and include detailed provisions for irrigation water rights and maintenance.

• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No business, hospital, theater, or other commercial activity is allowed on any lot. No more than one dwelling unit per acre.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations, new structures, and fences must be approved in writing by a two-member architectural committee. The committee must act within 30 days of a written request. If no committee exists, approval is not required, but the design must harmonize with existing buildings.
• Minimum dwelling size and height: Every dwelling must have at least 800 square feet of ground floor area under roof (excluding open roof areas, carports, and garages). No building may exceed two stories or 30 feet in height. New homes must be completed within 12 months of construction start.
• Livestock and animals: Horses, poultry, and livestock (except goats and pigs) are permitted for the owner's and guests' personal use. Dogs and cats are allowed in reasonable numbers but must be enclosed or leashed. Pens and stables must be at least 80 feet from any residence used for human habitation (unless written waiver is obtained) and at least 100 feet from the front property line. Manure must be removed frequently to avoid nuisances.
• Fences and landscaping: Fences or walls over 2.5 feet high must be at least 30 feet from the front lot line. No fence over 6 feet high is allowed. Hedges over 3 feet high are not permitted within 30 feet of the front lot line. No clotheslines or structures may be placed in front of the residence. Owners must maintain lots free of weeds, trash, and unsightly growth.
• Irrigation and water rights: Irrigation water is provided by Peninsula-Horowitz Irrigation Company. Owners must maintain irrigation ditches on their property and pay assessments for water delivery and system maintenance. Water rights run with the land; voting rights in the irrigation company are based on acreage (one vote per acre). Unpaid assessments can result in water shut-off and liens on the property.
• Signage: Only one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign not exceeding 18x24 inches is permitted per lot. No other advertising, billboards, or unsightly objects are allowed.
• Enforcement and liens: The architectural committee may enter a lot to perform necessary maintenance if the owner fails to act after 60 days' notice, and may place a lien for unpaid costs. Any violation of the CC&Rs may be enforced by any owner, and the prevailing party in a lawsuit is entitled to recover attorney fees.
