What Ponderosa Homes West's governing documents say

This Declaration of Restrictions governs Ponderosa Homes West Unit Two, a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, AZ. It runs with the land and binds all current and future lot owners. No homeowners association or common assessments are established; enforcement is by court action.

• Lot use & dwellings: All lots are for single-family residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling plus a private garage or carport is allowed per lot. No house trailer, temporary structure, or prefabricated building may be placed for more than 5 days (except contractor trailers and tract sales offices, which must be removed after construction).
• Building requirements: Every dwelling must have at least 750 square feet of floor area (excluding carports, storage, porches, and pergolas). Exterior walls must be brick, concrete block, or substantial masonry, or insulated frame construction. Minimum lot area is 6,000 square feet. Setbacks: front and rear 25 ft, interior side 7 ft, corner side 10 ft; carports must be at least 3 ft from any lot line.
• Fences & walls: No solid wall, steel fence, or hedge may be placed nearer to the front street line than the front wall of the house, or closer than 25 ft if no house exists. Maximum height is 6 ft. Corner lots must keep such structures behind the side property line.
• Signs: No billboards or advertising signs are allowed except one 12" x 18" sign per lot, limited to "For Sale" or "For Rent" with owner/agent contact info and "Inquire Within". Subdividers may place larger signs for lot sales.
• Prohibited uses: No livestock, poultry, business of any kind, hospital, sanitarium, theater, saloon, or any trade or commercial activity is permitted on any lot. No nuisance or offensive activity is allowed.
• Vehicles: Abandoned or inoperable vehicles may not be stored on any lot (or on private streets if any) in a manner visible from other lots or streets.
• Duration & amendment: These restrictions remain in effect until January 1, 2003, and then automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners agree to change them.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not create a homeowners association, does not impose regular assessments or fees, does not establish common areas, and does not include any age restrictions, rental caps, or pet limits. It is solely a set of restrictive covenants enforceable by court order.
