La Plaza Hermosa

What La Plaza Hermosa's governing documents say

La Plaza Hermosa is a homeowners association (HOA) community in Phoenix, AZ. This document is an amendment to the community's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), adding or modifying specific rules about exterior appearance, landscaping, lighting, and use of common areas. It does not replace the full CC&Rs, which would cover other topics like assessments, pets, and leasing.

• Exterior changes & painting: All exterior surfaces must be painted from an approved color palette at least every 7 years. Changes to front doors or windows must match original dimensions and materials, and require board approval. Window surrounds are allowed but must match stucco color. New buyers must meet with the architectural committee before any alterations.
• Landscaping: Front yards may only contain grass, plants, trees, flowers, and flower pots. Xeriscape or desert-type lawns are excluded. Trees removed must be replaced after board approval. Substantial landscape changes need board approval. No fountains, playground equipment, benches, or non-horticultural items are permitted in front yards.
• Lighting & garage doors: Garage doors must be kept closed except for ingress/egress or cleaning; they can be opened for heat escape. Front porch lights should cycle automatically and burn at night. No outside lighting that reflects onto other lots is allowed; post lighting is prohibited. Low-intensity diffused lighting requires board approval.
• Signs & decorations: No signs or ornaments in front yards except a single official For Sale sign. No flags, balloons, or promotional materials while selling or renting. No metal or rigid awnings; no reflective materials (foil, reflective screens, mirrors) visible from outside.
• Common area use: Use of common areas requires consideration of noise, traffic, and suitability. All proposed gatherings must be submitted to the board for approval before assembly.
• Garbage & antennas: Garbage/recycle containers should be put out no earlier than the evening before pickup and returned by the day collected. All radio, TV, and other antennas must be placed so they are not visible from outside the unit, common area, or street.
• What this document doesn't cover: This amendment does not include the full CC&Rs of La Plaza Hermosa, so it does not cover rules about assessments, pet limits, leasing restrictions, parking, or other typical HOA provisions. Readers should refer to the complete CC&Rs recorded in docket 8498.
