Quarter Horse Paradise

What Quarter Horse Paradise's governing documents say

Quarter Horse Paradise is a single-family residential subdivision in Paradise Valley, AZ, governed by restrictive covenants recorded in 1966 and enforced by a committee. These covenants apply to Tracts A–H and cover minimum house size, construction materials, setbacks, lot sizes, permitted uses, and water rights.

• Owner responsibilities & committee: A three-member committee (originally Donald H. Morris, Cecil E. Johnson, Keith Clingman) enforces the restrictions. After 75% of tracts are sold, the committee is elected by a majority of owners. The committee can approve building plans and hear complaints.
• Minimum house size & construction: Any dwelling must have a ground floor area of at least 1,200 square feet (exclusive of open porches, pergolas, or attached garages) and be of masonry, insulated frame, or stucco construction (decorative redwood paneling allowed). Temporary buildings during construction are exempt.
• Setbacks & lot minimums: The front wall of any house or garage must be at least 30 feet from the front property line. Side setbacks follow county regulations. Lots cannot be subdivided smaller than 100 feet frontage by 120 feet depth, except for public utility dedications.
• Business & livestock restrictions: No store, office, or business may be conducted on any lot except Tracts A, B, G, H (which still cannot have livestock feedlots, poultry farms, hog farms, dairy farms, dog kennels, hospitals, sanitariums, theaters, or saloons). Livestock for family use is allowed on all tracts.
• Signs, trailers & vehicles: Only one 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' sign per lot is allowed. No billboards or unsightly objects. No trailer house (mobile home) may be parked longer than 90 days, except unoccupied camping trailers. No excess storage of automobiles, trucks, or farming equipment beyond what is needed for the tract.
• Water supply: A shared water supply exists on a separate parcel. Owners have a proportionate interest. Excessive use (e.g., watering lawns, filling pools) may be restricted by the committee. Any increased usage requires approval from at least 50% of the owners of the water-source parcel. Owners may develop their own private water supply.
