What Forty Eight East's governing documents say
Forty Eight East is a planned unit development (single-family home community) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The declaration establishes use restrictions, architectural controls, and assessment obligations that apply to all lot owners, residents, and tenants.
- Residential use only: Lots may only be used for detached residential dwelling units and typical incidental activities like private pools. Home-based businesses are permitted only if they are not detectable from outside the home, comply with zoning, and do not create nuisance or safety issues.
- Architectural review & exterior changes: Any exterior alteration, construction, or landscaping must be approved in writing by the Architectural Review Committee. This includes buildings, fences, color schemes, grading, and even temporary structures. The maximum building envelope (impervious coverage) is 40% of the lot, plus an additional 5% for shade structures.
- Pets & animals: Only a reasonable number of common household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed. They must be kept in a fenced yard or on a leash, and owners must immediately remove droppings. No commercial breeding, and no structures for animals visible from neighboring property.
- Leasing & rentals: All leases must be in writing and expressly state that they are subject to the declaration, rules, and guidelines. The lot owner remains fully responsible for tenant compliance. Landlords must notify the association of all leases.
- Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages, carports, or designated areas. Inoperable vehicles, trucks over 3/4-ton, boats, campers, and trailers cannot be stored if visible from neighboring property, common areas, or streets. No vehicle repair or reconstruction on the property (except emergencies).
- Signs & outdoor items: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited except for two small residential identification signs (72 sq. in. or less each) and approved for-sale/lease and construction signs. No antennas, satellite dishes, basketball backboards, or flagpoles visible from neighboring property without committee approval.
- Maintenance responsibilities: Lot owners must maintain landscaping on their lot and adjacent public right-of-way areas (unless the city or association assumes responsibility). They must also maintain paved areas on their lot and keep buildings in good repair. The association maintains common areas and perimeter walls (structural repair shared 50/50 with adjacent owners).
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual and special assessments to fund common area maintenance, insurance, and operations. Delinquent assessments can lead to liens and suspension of voting rights and common area use. Specific assessment amounts are not stated in this excerpt.
