3rd Avenue Palms Condominiums

What 3rd Avenue Palms Condominiums's governing documents say

This is the full Declaration of Condominium for 3rd Avenue Palms Condominiums in Phoenix, AZ — you own your unit individually and share ownership of common elements (including a clubhouse, pool, parking, etc.) maintained by the association. The document sets the rules for living in the community and applies to all unit owners, tenants, and guests.

• Residential use & home business: Units must be used exclusively as residences. Limited home businesses are allowed only if not visible or detectable from outside, involve no customer traffic, and do not disturb the residential character.
• Pets: You may keep up to two common household pets (dogs, cats, or similar). Additional pets require board approval. Dogs must be leashed outside; owners must clean up waste. The board can adopt rules on pet size/weight with member vote.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is allocated one parking space as a limited common element (shown on the plat). No vehicle repairs, storage of inoperable vehicles, or parking outside designated spaces. The board may assign or lease unreserved parking spaces.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural interior changes may be made without prior approval, but any visible exterior alteration (e.g., enclosing a balcony) or structural work requires written board approval. The board may impose conditions such as insurance, deposits, and contractor review.
• Leasing & rentals: The document includes a section on rental of units (Section 4.21), but the specific restrictions (e.g., minimum lease term) are not legible in this excerpt. Tenants and their families may use common elements; the unit owner loses access during the lease.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies common expense assessments, special assessments, and other fees based on each unit's percentage interest (square footage). New owners pay a $300 reserve contribution. A transfer fee and working capital fund are also mentioned.
• Antennas & utility lines: Outdoor antennas are prohibited unless the board approves, except as required by law. All utility lines must be concealed underground or within approved structures.
• Declarant’s reserved rights: The developer (Central Villas, LLC) retains extensive rights during the period of declarant control, including maintaining sales offices, using clubhouse space for marketing, and easements for construction and warranty work.
