Casa Del Rey Cottages

What Casa Del Rey Cottages's governing documents say

Casa Del Rey Cottages is a planned community of single-family homes (likely attached townhomes) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by this Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The homeowners association (Casa Del Rey Cottages Community Association) maintains common areas and enforces rules that apply to all lot owners and residents. All lots are also subject to a master association (Casa Del Rey Community Association) with additional assessments and restrictions.

• Architectural review: Any improvement visible from a neighboring property (e.g., exterior changes, fences, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has broad discretion over design harmony and aesthetics. Approval is deemed given if not acted on within 60 days of a complete application.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor vehicles may only be parked on a lot inside a garage, not stored outside. Street parking by owners is limited to 24 consecutive hours; guests up to 72 hours within a 7-day period. No parking in shared driveway easements. Inoperable or unrepaired vehicles visible from neighboring property are prohibited.
• Trash & storage: Trash containers must be kept in approved locations (see Exhibits) and only placed out for collection as needed. No outdoor incinerators. Trash/utility easements between lots are exclusively for containers, drainage, and utilities.
• Use and benefit easements (UBEs): Adjacent lots share use and benefit easements for courtyards, trash/utility, and access. For example, a courtyard UBE gives the benefited lot exclusive use of a portion of the burdened lot for a patio or garden, subject to restrictions (e.g., no permanent structures, landscaping setbacks). The benefited lot must maintain liability insurance ($300,000 minimum).
• Assessments: Annual assessments are levied per lot, with an initial maximum of $70/month ($840/year). The board can increase the maximum each year by the greater of 10% or the CPI increase without a member vote. Larger increases require majority approval. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the lot.
• Garage doors & basketball hoops: Garage doors must be kept closed except when in use. Basketball backboards, hoops, and similar structures are prohibited anywhere on a lot.
• Enforcement & legal proceedings: The association can levy fines and suspend voting rights for violations. Legal action against an owner for non-monetary violations requires a 75% member vote; against the declarant or homebuilder requires 90% vote and a 30-day cure period.
