Casa Azul Homeowners Association

What Casa Azul Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Casa Azul is a planned residential community (single-family homes) in Phoenix, Arizona, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) binds all owners, residents, and tenants and establishes rules for architectural control, property use, leasing, pets, parking, and more.

• Architectural review & exterior changes: Any construction or exterior modification requires prior written approval from the Design Review Committee, which can deny based on aesthetic considerations. A decision is due within 45 days of a complete application, otherwise deemed approved upon demand. Changes to approved plans need additional approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing with an initial term of at least six months. Owners must provide tenant and vehicle info to the association within 15 days of request. Home exchanges and foreign student exchanges are not considered leasing if no significant consideration is exchanged.
• Pets: Only dogs, cats, and small domestic pets (e.g., hamsters, birds, fish) are allowed, with a maximum weight of 200 pounds per pet. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot or on a leash (max 6 feet) when outside. Owners must clean up droppings. The board can further restrict pet size and number.
• Parking & vehicles: Family motor vehicles (standard cars, pickups ≤1 ton, SUVs, etc.) are allowed; commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles cannot be parked on lots or common area where visible from neighboring property. During the Declarant Control Period, vehicles must be parked in the garage if space permits; otherwise in driveway. Overnight street parking for guests is prohibited during that period.
• Residential use & home businesses: All residences must be used as single-family dwellings. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside and comply with zoning, with limited employee visits and no nuisance. Leasing is not considered a business.
• Signs & flags: Signs visible from neighboring property require Design Review Committee approval, except for certain 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs as permitted by Arizona law (A.R.S. §33-1808). Flags are limited; no more than two at once, flagpole height not to exceed rooftop.
• Garage & storage: Garages must be kept to accommodate at least two cars and cannot be converted to living space. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering or exiting. No vehicle storage (non-operational, covered, or without current tags) is allowed except in a garage.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific assessment amounts, pet limits beyond weight, or detailed architectural design guidelines (referenced as separate documents). It is a full CC&R declaration, not a partial or ancillary document.
