Cobblestone at the Groves

What Cobblestone at the Groves's governing documents say

Cobblestone At The Groves is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners, residents, and their guests. It outlines rules for property use, assessments, architectural changes, and enforcement.

• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business or trade is allowed in or from a lot unless it is not detectable from the exterior, conforms to zoning, and doesn't increase HOA insurance. No temporary structures, trailers, or outbuildings may be used as residences.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire lot, and for a minimum rental period of 30 days. Transient or hotel use is prohibited. A copy of the lease must be given to the association before the term starts. Owners are fully responsible for tenant conduct.
• Pets: Customary household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed, but the board may decide if an animal is a nuisance or if the number/type is unreasonable. Animals must be leashed or fenced on common areas and other lots. Waste must be promptly removed.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, starting at a maximum of $3,600 (in 2005 dollars) for the first year, increasing up to 20% per year without a vote. Larger increases require a 2/3 owner vote. Special assessments also require a 2/3 vote. A $5,000 working capital fee is due from the first buyer of a lot from the declarant. Late payments incur 12% interest and a late charge of the greater of $15 or 10% of the unpaid amount.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles or recreational vehicles (campers, boats, trailers) may be parked where visible from any street, except for temporary parking not exceeding 4 consecutive hours. Standard pickup trucks used for business are allowed if commercial markings are unobtrusive.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee must approve any exterior alteration, including solar collectors, antennas, satellite dishes, storage sheds, play equipment, fences, and landscaping. Changes must not be visible from neighboring property unless approved. Guidelines may be adopted.
• Fines & enforcement: The board may levy fines for violations, with a notice and hearing process. Fines are treated as lot-specific assessments. The association can also suspend common area use and voting rights for defaults. Unpaid assessments become a lien and can be foreclosed.
