Coldwater Ranch Parcel 1

What Coldwater Ranch Parcel 1's governing documents say

Coldwater Ranch Parcel 1 is a planned community of single-family homes in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The CC&Rs apply to all lot owners and occupants, covering property use, design review, assessments, and maintenance. The developer (Declarant) retains significant control until the Declarant Control Period ends.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot (fee simple) and are responsible for maintaining your dwelling unit and landscaping, except for common areas maintained by the HOA. Party walls (shared walls between lots) are jointly maintained unless damage is caused by one owner.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including construction, landscaping, painting, or fences, require prior written approval from the DRG Reviewer (Declarant or Design Review Committee). Design Review Guidelines interpret and supplement the rules; variances may be granted for hardship.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. 'Single Family' means related persons or up to three unrelated persons living as a household. No rooming/boarding houses, and group homes are allowed only if required by law. The Use Restrictions may be amended by the Board, subject to owner override.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify a minimum lease term or restrict leasing beyond requiring compliance with all rules. Owners may lease their lot, but the owner remains responsible for occupant compliance. No vacation rental or transient use is explicitly prohibited, but the single-family use restriction likely limits short-term rentals.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are set annually by the Board. A Working Capital Fund Assessment (up to 1/6 of annual regular assessment) and Reserve Fund Assessment (same limit) may be levied. Special assessments may also be imposed. Assessments create a lien on the lot if unpaid.
• Party walls: Owners of contiguous lots sharing walls or fences have rights and duties for maintenance and repair. Damage by an owner or occupant must be repaired at that owner's cost. Otherwise, costs are shared ratably by frontage.
• Voting & membership: Each lot owner is a member of the HOA with one vote per lot owned. The Declarant (developer) holds a Class B membership with additional votes and control until the Declarant Control Period ends (earliest of all units sold, Declarant relinquishes, or 2050). After that, control passes to Class A members (owners).
• What this document doesn't cover: The excerpt does not specify pet limits, parking rules, age restrictions, or detailed amenity descriptions. Those may be in separate Association Rules or Design Review Guidelines.
