Heather Heights

What Heather Heights's governing documents say

Heather Heights is a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions recorded in 1972. These covenants run with the land and are binding on all lot owners, setting rules for construction, use, fences, and architectural approval. No homeowners' association is created; enforcement is through court action or individual owners.

• Minimum dwelling size: Every dwelling must have at least 750 square feet of ground floor area, excluding garages, porches, and patios.
• Setbacks & building placement: The front wall of any dwelling or garage must be between 20 and 50 feet from the front property line. Side walls must be at least 5 feet from side lines (or 7 feet if on a street). Carports may be as close as 2 feet to the front line; detached garages in the rear third of the lot are exempt.
• Use restrictions: Lots may only be used for residential purposes. No trade or business is allowed, except model homes or sales offices by the builder. No livestock may be kept.
• Fences & hedges: No solid wall or fence over 3.5 feet high may be built closer to the front street line than the front wall of the residence (or 30 feet if no residence exists). Side and rear fences may be up to 6 feet high. Hedges over 3.5 feet may not be within 20 feet of the front lot line.
• Architectural review: No structure may be started until the design, location, and materials are approved in writing by a three-person committee (named in the declaration). If the committee does not act within 30 days, approval is not required, provided the building complies with all restrictions and is in harmony with existing structures.
• Term & extension: These restrictions run until May 15, 2002, and are automatically extended for successive 10‑year periods unless a majority of lot owners votes to change them.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not create any homeowners' association, impose assessments or fees, regulate leasing or rentals, or set pet or parking rules. It only covers use and building restrictions applicable to lot owners.
