Agave Heights

What Agave Heights's governing documents say

Agave Heights is a residential planned community in Phoenix, Arizona, where you own your individual lot and home subject to a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. An Association manages common areas and enforces strict architectural, design, and use standards through a Design Review Committee. All lot owners must pay regular assessments to the Association and are bound by extensive property-use restrictions.

• Architectural review & design approval: You cannot make any exterior construction or modification to your home without written approval from the Design Review Committee. The Committee reviews plans for harmony with existing homes, architectural style, materials, color, placement, and landscaping; it may disapprove plans based purely on aesthetic grounds, even if they comply with written guidelines. If the Committee doesn't rule within 45 days of a complete application, approval is deemed granted. The Committee charges review fees and may require a compliance deposit before work begins.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the residence on it. The Association maintains the Common Area (shared land and improvements) and other Areas of Association Responsibility; you are responsible for your lot's upkeep in compliance with design standards and community documents.
• Assessments & financial obligations: You must pay regular per-lot assessments to fund Association operations, maintenance, and reserves, plus design review fees for approval applications. Special and Enforcement Assessments may also be levied. Non-payment of assessments creates a lien on your property and triggers the Association's collection remedies.
• Lot ownership restrictions: Your lot may be used for residential purposes only. You cannot subdivide, convey part of, replat, subject to additional covenants, seek zoning changes for, or use for timesharing without written approval from the Declarant (during the development control period) and the Association. Any building on your lot must be newly constructed; relocating a building from elsewhere is prohibited.
• Common area use & access: You, your family, residents, and guests have the right to use and enjoy the Common Area and private streets for access and recreation, subject to Association rules limiting guests and restricting access to certain areas. The Association may suspend your common area use rights (except street access to your lot) if you are more than 15 days delinquent on assessments or violate the Community Documents and fail to cure within 15 days.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes arising from the Community Documents must first go through mediation, and then may proceed to binding arbitration rather than court litigation.
• What this document doesn't fully cover: This excerpt cuts off details on specific pet policies, vehicle and parking rules, rental policies, precise assessment amounts, and a complete list of amenities. Refer to the full Declaration, Design Guidelines, Association Rules, and Bylaws for those specifications.
