Fireside at Norterra Triplex Condominiums

What Fireside at Norterra Triplex Condominiums's governing documents say

This is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ (known as Fireside at Norterra Triplex Condominiums, also marketed as Crossings at Fireside at Norterra). You own your individual unit — a two-story unit with an attached two-car garage and an enclosed courtyard — and share ownership of the common elements. The association maintains building exteriors, parking areas, landscaping, and other common areas. The property is also part of the Fireside at Norterra master planned community, which imposes an additional layer of rules through a separate master declaration.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (including finished surfaces, doors, windows, and the garage). You also have exclusive rights to the enclosed courtyard, driveway, and certain utility meters as limited common elements. You must maintain the interior, garage door, windows, HVAC, water heater, courtyard flooring, and other limited common elements. The association maintains building exteriors, private streets, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, and common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, cover the entire unit, and have a minimum term of 6 months. You must notify the association of the lease start, end, and tenant names. During the first year after purchase, the declarant may restrict or prohibit leasing. The lease must require tenants to follow all condominium documents.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages or designated parking areas; garages must be kept clear and available for parking. Commercial vehicles (including RVs, boats, trailers, and large trucks) are not allowed anywhere on the property except inside an enclosed garage. No inoperable vehicles, vehicle repairs, or storage of vehicles on the property. The association may tow violating vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, use no more than one non-resident employee, and comply with zoning. No nuisances, no exterior speakers, no reflective window coverings without approval. Signs (including 'For Sale' signs) are prohibited unless approved by the board or required by law.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural interior alterations that do not affect the exterior do not need approval. Any structural changes or additions visible from the exterior require prior written approval from the master association. You must retain a licensed architect or engineer to certify that structural work will not impair the building's integrity.
• Master association & additional rules: This condominium is part of the Fireside at Norterra master planned community. A separate master declaration (recorded in 2006) imposes additional covenants, conditions, and restrictions, including an architectural review process for all improvements. This declaration incorporates those rules by reference.
• Assessments & voting: Each unit pays an equal share of common expenses (1/69th). Each unit owner has one vote. The association may levy special assessments with the approval of unit owners representing more than 50% of votes (and declarant during the period of declarant control). Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the unit. No specific dollar amounts are stated in this document.
• What this document doesn't cover: The full declaration continues with sections on insurance, dispute resolution, annexation, amendments, and other provisions not included here. Specific restrictions (e.g., pet limits, fines, and reserve funding) are not present in this excerpt. The master declaration also imposes additional requirements not detailed here.
