Gateway Crossing I

What Gateway Crossing I's governing documents say

Gateway Crossing I is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The declaration creates the HOA, sets up assessments for common area maintenance, and imposes use restrictions on all lots. This document applies to lot owners and their tenants and guests.

• Membership & voting: Each lot owner automatically becomes a member of the HOA with one vote per lot. The developer (Declarant) holds three votes per lot until control transfers to homeowners, which happens no later than 6 years after the first lot sale or when Class A votes exceed Class B votes.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $252 per lot (1995) and can increase each year by up to 10% or the CPI increase, whichever is greater. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of members. Late payments incur a $50 fee and 10% annual interest. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Common area & maintenance: The HOA maintains common areas, including landscaping, drainage tracts, and shared facilities. Lot owners must maintain their detached dwelling units, yards, and any ancillary structures. Owners must landscape public yards within 120 days of purchase, subject to architectural approval.
• Architectural control: An Architectural Committee approves all exterior modifications, including landscaping, fences, walls, and building changes. Plans must be submitted before installation. The committee has sole judgment on what is 'screened from view' and 'visible from neighboring property.'
• Use restrictions: Lots are limited to single-family residential use. A 'Single Family' is defined as persons related by blood/marriage/adoption or up to four unrelated adults living as a household. Businesses, commercial vehicles, and time-shares are prohibited. Leasing is allowed but must comply with HOA rules (no minimum term stated in this excerpt).
• Pets & animals: Pets are allowed but subject to HOA rules; the declaration mentions the Association may limit the number and type of pets using common areas. No explicit pet limit is stated in this excerpt.
• Fences & walls: Fences and walls require architectural approval. Design, color, and materials must be approved. Owners are responsible for maintenance and repair of fences on their lots.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial and recreational vehicles are restricted. Parking is limited to family vehicles in garages or designated areas. Vehicle repairs on lots are prohibited unless on a nonrecurring and temporary basis.
