Butler Park Enclave

What Butler Park Enclave's governing documents say

Butler Park Enclave is a small single-family-home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) that run with the land. The rules apply to all lot owners and residents and are enforced by owners and the Declarant (developer). The community consists of 6 lots with detached homes (though some share common walls), and there is no formal homeowners association — restrictions are upheld by mutual enforcement.

• Permitted use & home businesses: Lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed if they are not obvious from outside, generate minimal traffic, use only one non-resident employee, and comply with zoning.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners have an absolute right to lease their home, but the lease must be in writing for a term of at least 30 days (no short-term rentals). Home exchange programs with no or nominal consideration are not considered leasing.
• Pets & animals: Only reasonable numbers of dogs, cats, and small caged birds are allowed as pets. Livestock and poultry are prohibited. Pets must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the lot, droppings must be removed, and pet structures must not be visible from neighboring properties.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial/recreational vehicles (RVs, boats, trucks over ¾ ton, etc.) cannot be parked where visible from neighboring property except temporarily for loading. Garage doors must be kept closed when not in use, and garages must be able to accommodate at least two family vehicles. No parking on front yards except on driveways or in garages.
• Architectural review & exterior changes: Any exterior alteration visible from neighboring property requires prior written approval from the Declarant (or later an Architectural Control Committee). The review takes up to 60 days; if no response after full submission, approval is deemed granted. No chain-link, wood, or split-rail fencing on perimeter or public-street boundaries.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Landscaping must be installed within 6 months of purchase and kept neat. If not, the Declarant or other owners may do the work and place a lien on the lot (plus 15% interest). Owners of Lots 1 and 6 must maintain olive trees in the adjacent public right-of-way.
• Minimum house size & design standards: Each home must be at least 3,200 livable square feet (excluding porches, patios, etc.), have a tile roof, and not exceed 26 feet in height. A two-car garage is required; carports are prohibited.
• Common walls (shared walls): Owners of contiguous lots sharing a common wall have equal rights to use it. If the wall is damaged by an owner, that owner pays for repair. If damaged by other causes, adjoining owners share the cost equally. Modifying a common wall requires consent of the adjoining owner.
