What Buena Vista III's governing documents say
Buena Vista III is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All owners, residents, and tenants must follow the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. The HOA maintains common areas (including an entry gate) and enforces rules to protect property values and neighborhood appearance.
- Residential use & home businesses: Each lot must be used exclusively as a residence for a single family (one or more persons related by blood/marriage/adoption, or up to three unrelated persons). Limited home businesses are allowed if they are not visible or audible from outside, generate no extra traffic, and comply with all rules.
- Architectural review: Any exterior change (construction, painting, landscaping, fences, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has broad discretion and can deny even code-compliant plans for aesthetic reasons. Approval is deemed granted if no decision is made within 45 days of a complete application.
- Pets: No more than two domestic pets (dogs, cats, or small birds) may be kept per lot. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the lot, and owners must clean up feces. The board may ban dogs from certain common areas and remove dangerous pets.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least one month. No subleasing or assignment is allowed. Owners must provide tenant info and a copy of the rules to the association at least 10 days before lease start. Owners are liable for tenant violations.
- Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in the garage unless there is insufficient space, then in the driveway only if under 7 ft tall and 18 ft long and without commercial markings. No recreational vehicles, trailers, or boats may be stored on lots without approval. Guest parking limited to 72 hours in a 7-day period. Inoperable vehicles and repairs visible from neighboring property are banned.
- Common area & amenities: The association owns and maintains common areas including private streets, drainage, and an entry gate. Use is subject to board rules; the board may suspend access for nonpayment of assessments or rule violations. The entry gate does not guarantee security.
