Century Gardens

What Century Gardens's governing documents say

Century Gardens is a single-family home subdivision in Mesa, AZ governed by deed restrictions (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) that run with the land. These rules apply to homeowners and residents, but there is no homeowners association with dues or assessments — enforcement is by property owners themselves.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling (max 1.5 stories) with at least a two-car garage or carport is allowed. No business, trade, hospital, or sanitarium is permitted.
• Architectural control: All construction, alteration, or fencing must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (initial members listed). If the committee doesn't respond within 30 days of submission, approval is not required. The committee can be changed by a majority of lot owners.
• Building size & setbacks: Minimum dwelling floor area is 1,200 square feet (exclusive of porches, garages, carports, patios). Front setback: 25 feet. Side setbacks: at least 7 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other (total 17 feet aggregate). Corner lots: 10 feet from side street line. Minimum lot width: 60 feet at setback line; minimum lot area: 9,000 square feet.
• Fences: Rear fences may be up to 6 feet high. Within front or side street setback areas, fences cannot exceed 3 feet 6 inches. Side lot line fences may be up to 6 feet. All fence designs require committee approval.
• Pets: No livestock or poultry. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial breeding. Pets must be kept on a leash or within a fence or wall.
• Signs: Only one sign, not exceeding 5 square feet, advertising the property for sale or rent is allowed, unless approved by the Architectural Committee or placed by the developer during development.
• Property maintenance: All lots must be kept free of rubbish and weeds; improved properties must maintain neat, sightly yards. During prolonged owner absence, the owner must arrange for care. Neighbors may clean up a neglected lot and file a lien for the cost if the owner refuses to pay within 30 days.
• Vehicles & parking: No overnight parking of commercial trucks on streets. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles must not be stored on any lot where visible from other lots or streets.
