Rio Surenco Medical/Dental Center Lot Owners Association

What Rio Surenco Medical/Dental Center Lot Owners Association's governing documents say

Rio Sureno Medical/Dental Center is a commercial condominium/office park in Phoenix, AZ — you own a lot with a unit (building), sharing common areas and private roadways with other lot owners, all governed by an association. This is a first amendment to the original declaration, creating the association and adding detailed rules on maintenance, assessments, and architectural control. These rules bind the lot owners (medical/dental professionals or investors), not tenants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the unit (building) on it, including roofs, windows, doors, and structural components. The association maintains 'Association Maintenance Property' — landscaping, sprinklers, parking areas, private roadways, lighting, and the exteriors of units for painting and routine maintenance. Owners must maintain their units in a first-class appearance and promptly repair any exterior, structural, or roof damage.
• Assessments & fees: The board sets annual assessments based on projected costs, payable in equal monthly installments due by the 10th. Late payments incur a charge of 25% of the amount due or $25 (whichever greater) and 18% annual interest. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements, subject to disapproval by a 2/3 vote of members. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot, enforceable by foreclosure. Each lot owner bears an equal share of assessments (not proportional).
• Architectural review: All improvements (buildings, landscaping, parking, signs, etc.) require prior written approval from a 3-member Architectural Review Committee appointed by the board. Plans must be submitted in triplicate and include grading, site plan, elevations, materials, and colors. The committee must approve or disapprove within 30 days (initial) and 20 days (final); failure to act within those periods constitutes approval. The committee may waive or vary requirements on a case-by-case basis, but no improvement may be built without approval.
• Parking & vehicle access: Parking is only allowed in on-site paved spaces; no parking on lots elsewhere. All parking areas and driveways must be paved and maintained by the association. Owners and their tenants, guests, employees have a perpetual easement to use parking spaces on individual lots, but the association may adopt rules for assigned reserved parking on a non-discriminatory basis.
• Enforcement & violations: The association can enter the property to abate violations, sue for injunctions or damages, and recover reasonable attorney's fees. A violation is declared a nuisance. Owners can enforce only if the association fails to act within 60 days of notice. The association must issue a certificate of compliance (within 15 business days) upon written request and a fee up to $50.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial amendment — it does not include the original declaration's full restrictions (e.g., permitted uses, signage, or initial construction standards). It also does not address residential concerns like pets, leasing restrictions, or age requirements, as this is a commercial medical/dental center.
