Queen Creek Ranchettes II

What Queen Creek Ranchettes II's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Queen Creek Ranchettes II, a single-family home community in Maricopa County, Arizona. It establishes a homeowners association (the Queen Creek Ranchettes II Homeowners Association) and imposes rules on lot owners regarding land use, construction, and maintenance. The community includes standard residential lots and designated equestrian lots (Lots 51–70).

• Architectural review: No improvements visible from neighboring property may be built or altered without prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans and fees must be submitted; approval is deemed given if the committee does not act within 60 days.
• Residential use & home businesses: All residential units must be used exclusively for single-family occupancy. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and do not involve client visits or solicitation. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Animals & pets: Horses are allowed only on equestrian lots and not for commercial purposes. On other lots, only domestic pets (dogs, cats, birds) are permitted, kept as pets and not for breeding or commercial use. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot; dogs must be leashed (max 6 ft) when off the lot. Noisy or nuisance animals may be removed.
• Parking & vehicles: Trucks, trailers, campers, boats, and recreational vehicles may not be parked in view of neighboring property without architectural approval. Inoperable vehicles and repairs are prohibited unless emergency. Guest parking on streets is limited to 48 hours in any 7-day period. The association may tow violating vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Minimum livable area: Residential units on equestrian lots must have at least 2,400 sq ft of livable area (grade level or split level combined); non-equestrian lots require at least 2,000 sq ft. These minimums exclude porches, entries, and garages.
• Fences & landscaping: Rear and side yards must be enclosed with a 6 ft masonry block wall or a 5 ft galvanized steel fence; front yard fences may not exceed 3 ft (2 ft at specified setbacks). Landscaping must be completed within 60 days of occupancy and include specified trees and shrubs. All landscaping and structures must adhere to setback and height restrictions on the plat.
• Signs: Signs visible from neighboring property are generally prohibited except for legal-required signs, approved residence identification signs, and one approved 'For Sale' sign. All signs must have prior written approval from the Architectural Committee.
• Equestrian lots & easement: Equestrian lots (Lots 51–70) have a private equestrian easement and may keep horses for non-commercial purposes. Fencing on these lots must be located along the boundary of the easement nearest the residence, with gates opening away from the easement.
