Ocotillo Lane Community Association

What Ocotillo Lane Community Association's governing documents say

Ocotillo Lane Community Association is a single-family-home HOA in Phoenix, AZ. You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas and enforces the declaration. All owners, residents, and tenants must comply. The declaration sets rules on architecture, use, parking, and leasing.

• Architectural review: Any exterior construction or modification (including landscaping, fences, paint, solar panels) must be approved in writing by the Design Review Committee before starting. Submit plans; approval or denial must occur within 45 days of a complete application. The committee can base decisions purely on aesthetics and has sole discretion. Fees and a compliance deposit may be required. No approval needed for interior work that doesn't affect the exterior, or for repainting with the originally approved color scheme.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, no customers come to the lot, no employees who aren't residents, and no commercial vehicles or excessive traffic. No temporary buildings or trailers for residence; construction trailers must be removed within 12 months. No nuisances, odors, or loud noises. No antennas or satellite dishes without approval (but subject to applicable law). No clotheslines visible from neighbors. Trees and shrubs cannot overhang sidewalks below 8 feet.
• Animals: Dogs, cats, and similar household birds are allowed as pets, but the board decides what number is reasonable per lot. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet when off the lot and cannot enter other lots. Owners must immediately remove feces from common areas. The board may ban pets that bite, attack, or cause nuisance (excessive barking). No structures for animals visible from neighboring property. No livestock, poultry, reptiles, or other animals.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking on streets is limited if garage or driveway space is available. Vehicles must be parked in the garage to the extent possible; if not, in the driveway. No commercial vehicles can be parked on lots or common areas except temporarily for contractors. No mobile homes, trailers, boats, or similar equipment visible from neighboring property. No vehicle storage (e.g., under a cover) except inside a garage. Inoperable vehicles cannot be visible. No major repairs visible from neighbors. The board can tow violating vehicles.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for the entire lot and residence, in writing, and for an initial term of at least one month. Subleasing is prohibited. The owner must notify the association at least 10 days before the lease starts, providing dates, occupant names, owner contact info, and an emergency contact. The lease must state it is subject to the community documents. The owner is liable for any tenant violations. No timesharing or periodic occupancy is allowed.
• Assessments & maintenance: The association levies regular and special assessments on lot owners to cover common expenses. The declaration creates a lien for unpaid assessments. Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot and improvements according to a maintenance standard set by the board. The association maintains common areas. Garage doors must be kept closed except when entering/exiting. Window coverings facing the street must be white or beige within 60 days of ownership.
