22° Biltmore Place Condominium

What 22° Biltmore Place Condominium's governing documents say

This is a condominium community (originally 22° Biltmore Place, renamed Trovare Condominium) in Phoenix, AZ. The document is a second amendment to the condominium declaration, altering developer rights, site plans, and adding detailed rules on maintenance, parking, and a mandatory dispute resolution process for construction-related claims. Owners should be aware that building designs and materials may vary, and that they must maintain certain parts of their units and limited common elements.

• Name change & site plan flexibility: The condominium is renamed 'Trovare Condominium' and the association is 'Trovare Condominium Unit Owners Association'. The declarant may significantly alter the previously approved site plan, so landscaping, lights, pillars, and other common element improvements shown on the original plan may not be built.
• What you own & maintain: Unit owners are responsible for maintaining their unit's interior, as well as limited common elements allocated to their unit: balconies, patios, rear yards, exterior doors and windows, landscaping and improvements in the rear yard, masonry walls (except exterior surface maintained by association), and the exterior light fixture near the front door. The association maintains the common elements exterior of buildings and the exterior surface of rear yard masonry walls.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has a two-car garage. All motor vehicles owned or leased by the owner or resident must be parked in the garage to the extent space is available; overflow may park in the driveway but cannot obstruct access or extend into the street. Driveways on some units are too short for parking. Garages cannot be converted to living space or used for storage that prevents parking. No commercial, inoperable, or stored vehicles (e.g., under a car cover) are allowed on common elements.
• Dispute resolution for construction claims: Any claim regarding construction defects or development of the condominium must go through mandatory mediation and then binding arbitration, waiving the right to a jury trial and punitive/consequential damages. The association must get approval from unit owners holding more than 75% of votes (excluding defendant owners) before initiating litigation or arbitration. Strict deadlines apply: negotiation (30 days), mediation (30 days), and arbitration (15 days after mediation termination).
• Easements for roof & rear yard access: A non-exclusive easement allows all owners/residents in a building to access the roof via a ladder located in one unit's rear yard. Also, specific easements grant access across neighboring rear yards for construction, maintenance, and repair. The exercising party is liable for any damage.
• What this document doesn't cover: This amendment does not address pet limits, leasing restrictions, age restrictions, or other common HOA rules. Those would be in the original declaration or other amendments.
