Cooley Station Parcel 15

What Cooley Station Parcel 15's governing documents say

This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Cooley Station Parcel 15, a planned community of single-family lots in Gilbert, AZ. It establishes an association (Cooley Station Parcel 15 Community Association) that maintains common areas and enforces rules, while the community is also subject to a master Cooley Station Declaration and a Supplemental Declaration with its own design review committee. These rules apply to all lot owners, residents, and tenants.

• Architectural & exterior changes: All construction or exterior modifications (including landscaping, fences, paint, etc.) require written approval from the Design Review Committee before starting. The committee can deny based on aesthetic considerations and may also require approval from the Cooley Property DRC under the Supplemental Declaration. No approval needed for interior work that doesn't affect exterior appearance, or for repainting in originally approved colors. Portable basketball goals are prohibited; permanent ones need committee approval. Playground equipment visible from neighboring property also needs approval.
• Rental rules: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least one month (no short-term rentals). Subleasing is prohibited. The owner must provide the association with lease dates, tenant names, and emergency contact at least 10 days before move-in. Owners are liable for tenant violations of the CC&Rs. No timeshares or weekly occupancy allowed.
• Vehicles & parking: No commercial vehicles may be parked on lots or common areas (except temporarily for contractors). Inoperable or stored vehicles (e.g., covered with a car cover) must be kept in the garage and not visible from neighboring property. Parking on streets is restricted if garage or driveway space is available. Garage must remain usable for at least two cars; garage doors must be kept closed except when entering or exiting. No vehicle repairs visible from neighboring property.
• Pets: A reasonable number of domestic pets (dogs, cats, birds) is allowed, but the Board decides what is reasonable. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot; dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) on common areas and owners must clean up feces. The Board can restrict common area access for dogs and may require removal of dangerous or nuisance animals. No structures for pets may be visible from neighboring property.
• Use restrictions (business, signs, etc.): Lots are for residential use only; home-based businesses are allowed only if no outside evidence (no customers, no employees who aren't residents, no extra traffic). Signs visible from neighboring property require committee approval, except for certain flags protected by Arizona law (max 2 flags, flagpole no higher than roofline). No outside clotheslines visible. No antennas (except FCC-protected satellite dishes) without board approval. No rooftop HVAC units visible. Window coverings facing the street must be white or beige within 60 days of ownership.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies regular and special assessments on each lot. There is also a transfer fee upon sale. Assessments fund common expenses, including payments to the master Cooley Station association. The board can suspend common area use for delinquent assessments (more than 15 days overdue). A compliance deposit may be required for construction. The document does not specify assessment amounts or due dates.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas (including tracts shown on plat) and certain front yard landscaping. Lot owners are responsible for maintaining their own lots, including buildings, fences, walls, and landscaping, to a standard set by the board. Owners must keep lots free of debris and unsightly conditions. Drainage patterns must not be altered.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify exact assessment amounts, pet limits, or detailed design guidelines (those are in separate Design Guidelines). It also does not describe specific common amenities (e.g., pool, clubhouse) or age restrictions. Additional rules may exist in the master Cooley Station Declaration and Supplemental Declaration.
