Circle G at the Highlands

What Circle G at the Highlands's governing documents say

Circle G At The Highlands is a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix (Maricopa County), Arizona — you own individual lots subject to covenants that restrict use to single-family homes and govern construction, design, animals, and maintenance, enforced by a homeowners association funded by annual per-lot assessments.

• Residential use only: One single-family residence per lot; no business use, rental operations, or other commercial activity permitted on any property.
• Horse keeping (if your lot qualifies): Only lots 6–12, 30–37, 48–55, 72–79, and 90–97 are permitted to keep horses. All animals must be fenced or enclosed and cannot be commercially bred or boarded.
• Pets & animals: All animals (including dogs) must be kept fenced, caged, or controlled and not allowed to wander. Swine, peacocks, and geese are prohibited; no commercial breeding, raising, or boarding of any animals.
• Building & construction requirements: New construction only; minimum 2,400 sq ft livable area on grade level; minimum 2-car enclosed garage with side entry (except corner/cul-de-sac lots); roofs must be tile, wood shake, or committee-approved material. Specific yard setbacks: 50 ft front / 20 ft side / 40 ft rear (some lots have 30 ft front/rear exceptions).
• Architectural review & design approval: All structures, garages, fences, exterior color, landscaping, and modifications require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The committee's decision is final; approval is not a waiver of future reviews.
• Parking & vehicles: Private cars and ¾-ton pickup trucks may park on the side (setback required, committee approval needed); campers, horse trailers, and motorhomes may park on the back if screened and approved. All unregistered or non-operating vehicles must be in a garage or enclosed structure; no open repair work allowed.
• Yard maintenance & screening: Trash/garbage must be in covered containers and screened from neighbors; yards must be kept clear of weeds and trash. Air-conditioning equipment, antennas, satellite dishes, and fuel tanks must be underground, screened, or hidden from view.
• Annual assessments & fees: Each owner pays a pro-rata share for common area maintenance and association operations; initial maximum $300/year (1995), with 5% annual cap or CPI increase (whichever is greater) without member vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% interest, collection costs, and attorney fees, and the association can place a lien and foreclose on the property.
