North Gateway

What North Gateway's governing documents say

North Gateway is a master-planned mixed-use community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (North Gateway Community Association). The declaration applies to all lot owners, residents, and commercial property owners within the development, binding them to covenants, restrictions, and assessments.

• Disclosures & nearby conditions: The community is near a 24/7 mining facility (noise, dust, large vehicles), Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (aircraft noise), and a canal. Irrigated common areas may use non-potable reclaimed water. Views are not guaranteed and may be obstructed by future construction or landscaping. Owners release the declarant and association from related claims.
• Use restrictions: Only generally recognized house or yard pets (no commercial breeding) are allowed; pets must be leashed or fenced, and droppings must be removed. Temporary buildings (e.g., construction trailers) may remain up to 12 months. Prohibited plants (listed in Exhibit C) are banned. No nuisances, odors, or loud noises (except approved patio speakers and construction activities).
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, alterations, landscaping, and color changes require prior written approval from the governing Architectural Committee (Single-Family or Commercial). The committee must respond within 45 days and cannot unreasonably withhold approval. Declarant and designated builders are exempt.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies Annual Assessments, Special Assessments, Maintenance Assessments (for areas benefiting only some owners), and Limited Assessments. Assessments create a lien on the property. Owners more than 15 days delinquent may have common area use suspended (except access). A working capital fund and transfer fee are also authorized.
• Easements & common area use: Owners have non-exclusive easements to use common areas for recreation and access, subject to association rules. Utility easements exist across lots and common areas. The association has inspection easements on lots. Easements for unintended encroachments and for ingress/egress are granted. The declarant and builders retain easements for sales, construction, and leasing activities.
• Enforcement & dispute resolution: Violations are enforced through a notice and cure process. Disputes are subject to a multi-step resolution procedure (negotiation, mediation, then legal action) described in Article 12. Owners must consent to certain legal actions by the association.
