The Enclave at Sweetwater Ranch

What The Enclave at Sweetwater Ranch's governing documents say

This is an architectural control declaration for The Enclave at Sweetwater Ranch, a subdivision within the larger Sweetwater Ranch master-planned community in Paradise Valley, AZ. It applies to all lot owners and establishes an Architectural Committee with exclusive control over exterior changes. This document supplements the Master CC&Rs and does not contain general HOA rules about pets, leasing, or assessments.

• Architectural committee: The Architectural Committee has exclusive jurisdiction over all original construction and exterior modifications, including buildings, fences, landscaping, HVAC, solar panels, paint, and any exterior changes. The committee consists of three members initially appointed by the Declarant; after Declarant no longer owns property, the Sweetwater Ranch Association Board appoints at least three members.
• Approval process: Owners must submit detailed plans to the committee via personal delivery (with signed receipt) or certified mail (return receipt). The committee has 45 days to approve, disapprove, or request additional information. Failure to respond within 45 days results in deemed approval. A reasonable processing fee may be charged.
• Landscaping rules: All landscaping must be approved in advance, including trees, bushes, and soil. No material changes from approved plans are allowed. Normal maintenance and replacement of dead plants with similar species permitted by the Guidelines are exempt.
• Interior modifications: Interior remodeling and interior painting are unrestricted unless visible from outside the dwelling unit or affect exterior appearance.
• Term and amendment: The Declaration runs until January 1, 2040, and automatically renews for successive 10-year periods unless revoked by an affirmative vote of owners owning at least 75% of lots. Amendment requires a 75% vote of lot owners and Declarant's consent while Declarant owns property. Declarant also has unilateral right to amend for government agency requests.
• Enforcement: The Architectural Committee may record a notice of violation specifying the owner, legal description, nature of violation, and cure steps. If the violation is cured or nonexistent, a notice of compliance must be recorded. Enforcement costs and attorneys' fees become a lien on the lot.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not address leasing, pets, parking, age restrictions, dues/assessments, or other typical HOA rules—those are in the Master CC&Rs for Sweetwater Ranch.
