Corta Bella

What Corta Bella's governing documents say

Corta Bella is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. These CC&Rs apply to all lot owners and establish rules for architectural control, property use, assessments, and maintenance. The association, Corta Bella Homeowners Association, is responsible for common areas and enforcing the rules.

• Architectural review: Prior written approval from the Architectural Committee is required for any exterior improvement that is visible from neighboring property, including construction, alterations, color changes, and landscaping. The committee has broad discretion to approve or deny based on harmony with the project, aesthetics, and the general plan.
• Use restrictions: All residential units must be used exclusively as a single-family residence, defined as a group of related persons or up to three unrelated persons. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and do not create nuisance, traffic, or safety issues.
• Pets: Up to three domestic pets (dogs, cats, parakeets or similar household birds) may be kept as pets. Dogs and cats must be on a leash no longer than six feet when off the owner's lot and must not enter other lots. No structure for pets may be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: Trucks, trailers, campers, boats, and similar vehicles may not be parked visibly from neighboring property without approval, except for temporary parking (24 hours consecutively, 48 hours per week). Inoperable vehicles are prohibited. Guest street parking is limited to 48 hours per seven-day period.
• Signs: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited unless approved by the Architectural Committee. One 'For Sale' sign is allowed with committee approval on size, color, design, and location. Political and commercial signs are not mentioned as exceptions.
• Assessments: The association levies annual and special assessments on each lot. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and are secured by a lien on the lot. The association may enforce collection as provided in the declaration.
• Maintenance: The association is responsible for maintaining common areas and certain areas of association responsibility (e.g., the lake, common areas). Owners are responsible for maintaining their lots and improvements, subject to the maintenance standard established by the board or prevailing in the project.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing of a residential unit is permitted and is not considered a business under the use restrictions. Lessees have the right to use common areas during the lease term, and owners surrender that right during the lease. No minimum lease term is specified in this excerpt.
