Anthem Arizona

What Anthem Arizona's governing documents say

This is a declaration of property development restrictions for a future single-family subdivision of up to 50 lots on 1-acre parcels, located near the Anthem master planned community (MPC) in Phoenix, AZ. It binds the developer, subsequent lot owners, and any homeowners association formed later. Importantly, the subdivision is NOT part of the Anthem MPC homeowners association and its residents cannot use Anthem's amenities. The actual homeowner rules (e.g., detailed architectural standards, pet limits, leasing rules) will be in separate CC&Rs to be recorded later. This document focuses on development approvals, permitted uses, prohibited uses (including a detailed list), and disclosures such as the adjacent county maintenance facility and water supply commitments.

• Not part of Anthem HOA / No amenity access: The property is excluded from the Anthem MPC homeowners association. No owner, resident, or tenant has any right to use Anthem's amenities, common areas, or open space. Use of the name 'Anthem' in the community name or promotional materials is prohibited.
• Maximum number of homes & lot size: The property is limited to no more than 50 single-family lots. Each lot must be approximately 1 acre. No further subdivision is allowed.
• Permitted uses & restrictions: Only detached single-family residential use is allowed. Horses are permitted only in designated equestrian common areas (barn, corral, trail) and are prohibited on individual lots. Other livestock, poultry, and commercial operations are not allowed. Temporary structures, firearms discharge, mineral exploration, and off-site parking are prohibited. Signs, satellite dishes, and antennas are restricted.
• Development approval process: All site plans, architectural renderings, improvement plans, and landscaping plans must be approved by Anthem Arizona LLC (or its assignee) before submission to the county. Anthem may consider harmonization with the Anthem MPC but cannot impose more stringent standards than neighboring Anthem communities. Approvals are not warranties of code compliance.
• Adjacent county maintenance facility disclosure: A Maricopa County Department of Transportation maintenance facility adjoins the property. It may operate 24/7 with lighting, noise, dust, and traffic. Owners and occupants acknowledge these conditions and release Anthem from related claims.
• Water supply & commitment: Water service is provided under agreements with Del Webb and Arizona-American Water Company. Del Webb has committed up to 7,900 acre-feet per year of leased water for the Anthem DMP, with a potential additional 42 acre-feet if required. The initial owner is responsible for obtaining a 100-year certificate of assured water supply.
• Equestrian common areas: One common horse barn and corral, with a trail connection, are allowed for residents' horses only. Outdoor lighting must be off by 9:00 p.m. or shielded. No commercial events, boarding, or other animals (except horses) are permitted. The association will own and maintain these areas.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not the full homeowners association rules (CC&Rs). Specific items such as detailed architectural design standards, pet limits (beyond the general prohibition on livestock), leasing restrictions, parking rules for residents, and assessment amounts are not included here. Those will be in separate CC&Rs to be recorded later.
