What Bel Esprit Homeowners Association's governing documents say
Bel Esprit is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Paradise Valley, AZ, covering three subdivisions: Manor, Heights, and Lane. The rules apply to all lot owners. This summary is drawn from the association's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and a 2005 Amendment to the CC&Rs, which together set the basic governance and key use restrictions.
- Parking & vehicles: Each lot must have at least one garage used for parking family vehicles, commercial/recreational vehicles (as defined in the CC&Rs), or household storage. Garage doors must remain closed except for entry/exit. On-street parking by family vehicles is permitted except between 2:00am and 6:00am; on-street parking by all other vehicles is prohibited.
- Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (of at least 3 members, always odd number) reviews and approves plans for exterior changes, landscaping, color schemes, etc. Applications are deemed approved if the committee fails to act within 30 days of a complete submission.
- Assessments & liens: The board fixes annual assessments per lot, may impose late charges, and can record liens for unpaid assessments. Voting rights and common area use may be suspended 15 days after a payment default; non-monetary defaults also trigger suspension until cured.
- Membership & voting: All lot owners are mandatory members. Each lot has one vote. Two classes exist: Class A (non-declarant owners) and Class B (declarant, with three votes per lot). Class B membership ends when Class A votes first equal or exceed Class B, or six years after the first lot sale, or upon declarant's written relinquishment.
- Board of Directors: The board manages the association, originally 3 directors with staggered 1-3 year terms, up to 7 directors (always odd number). After Class B membership ends, all directors must be lot owners. Directors can be removed by a 2/3 vote of members present at a meeting.
- Bylaws & amendment: Bylaws may be amended by a 51% vote of members present (in person or proxy) at a meeting. Articles of Incorporation require 75% affirmative vote of each class. While Class B exists, FHA/VA approval may be needed for certain actions like annexation, mergers, or mortgaging common areas.
- What this document doesn't cover: These excerpts do not include any rules regarding pets, leasing/rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific architectural guidelines (beyond committee process). For a complete picture, additional documents such as the full CC&Rs and any rules and regulations would be needed.
