Reflections and Discovery at Springfield Lakes

What Reflections and Discovery at Springfield Lakes's governing documents say

Reflections and Discovery at Springfield Lakes is a standard single-family home subdivision HOA in Phoenix, AZ, not an age-restricted community. The rules apply to all owners and residents. The community is adjacent to a golf course but does not include golf membership or access rights.

• Architectural review & exterior changes: Most exterior changes visible from neighboring property require prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee, including construction, painting, and landscaping that alters appearance. Certain items like in-ground pools and low swing sets may be exempt if not visible from the golf course.
• Use restrictions & home businesses: Residential units must be used exclusively as dwellings. Limited home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, no customer visits, and consistent with residential character. Leasing a unit is not considered a business.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets (dogs or cats) per lot. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) when off the owner's lot and not enter other lots. Pets must not create excessive noise or nuisance. Pet waste must be immediately removed.
• Parking & vehicles: No RVs, boats, trailers, or commercial vehicles may be parked visible from neighboring property except for temporary loading (72 hrs max per week). Passenger vehicles under 7 ft tall and 22 ft long may park in driveway or garage. Street parking limited to 24 consecutive hours. Inoperable vehicles prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: An entire residential unit may be leased. No minimum lease term is specified. Leases must include a provision that the tenant agrees to be bound by all governing documents.
• Age restriction: The community is not age-restricted. A 55+ age restriction is prohibited for at least 25 years from the document's recording date (2000) unless approved by 100% of owners, the developer, and the neighboring Springfield Lakes declarant.
• Golf course & nuisances: The adjacent golf course is not part of the community and owners have no rights to use it. Residents acknowledge potential nuisances (noise, lights, golf balls) and release the association and developer from related claims. Golf balls may enter properties; owners are advised to accept associated risks.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual and special assessments on each lot to fund common expenses, reserves, and services. The document does not specify current assessment amounts or fee schedules.
