Sungrove Shores HOA

What Sungrove Shores HOA's governing documents say

This document is the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Rules and Landscape Standards for The Sun Groves Homeowners Association, a single-family home HOA in Paradise Valley, Arizona. It supplements the community's CC&Rs and governs exterior modifications, landscaping, and painting. This is a partial rulebook covering only architectural and landscape changes, not the full HOA rules (e.g., assessments, rentals, parking).

• Architectural review process: All exterior changes (except repainting original colors) must be approved by the Architectural Committee. Submit a completed application, plot plan, elevation plans, and material/color samples. The committee has 45 days to approve or deny. Construction must start within 90 days of approval and finish within 6 months. Appeals go to the Board of Directors.
• Exterior painting: Repainting the original color scheme requires only notification via a management form. Changing colors requires prior approval and must use colors from the Sun Groves Master Palette; no paint scheme may match either neighbor. Body and trim colors must stay in their respective roles. Garage doors should match body color. Front doors may be from master palette or 'Front Door Only' selections.
• Landscaping standards: Front yards must have a minimum of 11 shrubs (1 gallon or larger; 6 for Parcel 3). Bare dirt is prohibited; use organic or inorganic ground cover. A drip irrigation system is strongly encouraged. Prohibited plants include olive trees (except Swan Hill), oleanders (except dwarf), fountain grass, Mexican palo verde, mulberry, citrus in front yards, eucalyptus, and sissoo. Rock ground cover must be earth-tone decomposed granite (1/2" minimum), with river run rock limited to 10% of front yard. Mandatory tree and bush trimming criteria are listed.
• Structures and improvements: Antennas/satellite dishes must be placed per a preference hierarchy and cannot exceed 25 feet. Awnings allowed only on side/rear. Basketball goals require approval and must be within 2 feet of the driveway edge farthest from property line, with a 20-foot setback from lot lines. Play structures over 7 feet need 5-foot setbacks. Pools/spas require a $600 refundable deposit if a perimeter wall is removed. Storage sheds under 120 sq ft are allowed without approval if not visible; larger sheds must be stuccoed and painted to match the house. Patio covers, gazebos, ramadas, pergolas, shade sails all need approval with height and setback limits. Solar panels must be ground or roof-mounted, not breaking ridgeline.
• Exterior lighting: All exterior lighting visible over property walls requires approval. String lighting (bistro style) must be soft white, UL-rated, off by 10pm unless actively used. 'Forever lights' must be under eaves, off by 10pm, and not visible during day. No spotlights or floodlights causing light trespass. Seasonal decorations (after Thanksgiving to Jan 20) allow colored lights. Maximum bulb brightness: 160 lumens (11W incandescent, 3W LED).
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain the full HOA declarations, including details on assessments, dues, rental restrictions, parking rules, pet policies, or use of common areas. Those are governed by the CC&Rs (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements) referenced within.
