Arizona Biltmore Hotel Master Development Property

What Arizona Biltmore Hotel Master Development Property's governing documents say

This is a master declaration for a large planned community in Phoenix, AZ, encompassing a hotel resort, commercial areas, and a condominium development called the Arizona Biltmore Hotel Villas. It sets up a master association with two members (the hotel owner and the villas owner) and establishes overarching rules for land use, architecture, leasing, and conduct. Individual villa owners are bound indirectly through the villas association and the villas declaration, which is subordinate to this master declaration.

• Land use & development: The property is divided into land use classifications (e.g., condominium, hotel, commercial) set by the Declarant. The Declarant and parcel owners may change classifications by recorded amendment. The Board may regulate nuisances and approve incidental uses.
• Architectural control: The Board establishes Architectural Control Guidelines. No changes to the exterior of villas or other buildings are allowed without prior written Board approval, which must not be unreasonably withheld. Applications are deemed approved if no decision is issued within 30 days. The Board may charge a processing fee.
• Leasing & rentals: Villa owners may lease only the entire villa (not partial), for a minimum term of 30 days. Leases must be in writing and through a leasing agent approved by the Master Declarant. Leases must acknowledge the master and villas declarations. The Board may enforce lease defaults if the owner fails to act.
• Quiet enjoyment & conduct: No villa owner may disrupt the quiet enjoyment of other owners or hotel guests. If the Master Declarant determines a disruption continues after notice, it has the right to purchase the villa at the original purchase price, paying off any liens first.
• Master association & voting: The Master Association has a two-member board: one representative from the villas association and one from the hotel. Voting power is based on square footage of property owned. The association can adopt rules, levy assessments, and enforce covenants.
• Assessments & liens: Each member (hotel and villas) pays its share of common expenses. If a member fails to pay, the Board may assess the members of the villas association directly. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the villa property.
• Use restrictions & maintenance: Owners must keep their parcels free of nuisances, debris, and unsightly conditions. Buildings must be kept in good repair. The Master Association maintains master common areas; owners maintain their own landscaping unless the association assumes responsibility.
• What this document doesn't cover: This master declaration sets the framework, but specific rules for villa owners (e.g., pet limits, parking, interior rules) are in the separate Villas Declaration and association rules. Amenities like pool or gym are not described; access to hotel amenities is governed by separate agreements.
