56th and Osborn Community

What 56th and Osborn Community's governing documents say

56th and Osborn Community is a single-family residential development in Phoenix, Arizona governed by a homeowners' association. You own your individual lot and dwelling unit; the association maintains common areas, front-yard landscaping, and structures like perimeter walls. The CCRs impose detailed restrictions on use, design, vehicles, and maintenance, enforced by the community association and a Design Review Committee.

• What you own & maintain: You own your dwelling unit and lot interior; the association maintains and funds common areas, perimeter walls, and front-yard landscaping as "Areas of Association Responsibility." You are responsible for rear-yard landscaping, interior lot condition, and certain party walls between adjacent lots.
• Permitted uses: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Limited home-based business activities are allowed if they are not visible or audible from outside, conform to zoning, involve no door-to-door solicitation or drive-up traffic, and remain consistent with the residential character of the community.
• Pets: Maximum four house or yard pets per lot are allowed: domesticated cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, small nonpoisonous reptiles, hamsters, or guinea pigs. Pets cannot make unreasonable noise or become a nuisance, and any structures for pet care must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Vehicles & parking: Vehicles parked on the property must not exceed one ton in carrying capacity and must be parked in a garage or on an approved driveway. Mobile homes, RVs, boats, trailers, semi-trucks, and similar vehicles exceeding one ton are prohibited unless kept in a garage, approved structure, or fenced area of the lot. Non-operating vehicles cannot be parked in unenclosed areas.
• Architectural & design control: Most exterior improvements require Design Review Committee approval. Antennas, clotheslines, and reflective window coverings are prohibited; HVAC units and solar panels must be screened and approved; garages cannot be converted to living space or storage; and landscaping plans must be approved before installation.
• Drainage & water management: Owners must maintain drainage ways and channels on their lot and cannot obstruct or alter drainage patterns. If you modify drainage or construct an improvement that reduces lot retention volume, you must design additional retention volume elsewhere on your lot to offset the change.
• Leasing: All tenants are bound by the community's governing documents (covenants, bylaws, and association rules). Owners are responsible and liable for their tenants' compliance with all restrictions and rules.
• Assessments & suspension of rights: The association levies regular, special, enforcement, and "benefited property" assessments against owners (amounts not specified in this excerpt). The association may suspend voting rights and facility access for delinquent assessments or rule violations lasting more than 30 days.
