Rosewood Ranch Estates

What Rosewood Ranch Estates's governing documents say

Rosewood Ranch Estates is a planned community in Scottsdale, Arizona where you own an individual residential lot; the Association maintains common areas (streets, open space) and facilities funded by per-lot assessments. The community enforces strict architectural control through a Design Review Committee and residential-use restrictions.

• Architectural review & design approval: All construction, modifications, and exterior changes require Design Review Committee approval before work begins. The committee reviews based on harmony with the neighborhood and aesthetic appeal using purely subjective criteria; approval is deemed given if the committee doesn't act within 45 days plus a 30-day demand period. A review fee is charged for each application.
• Residential use only; home-based business restrictions: All lots must be used exclusively for residential purposes. Limited home-based business is allowed only if it's invisible by sight, sound, or smell from outside; has no customers visiting the lot; employs only resident family members; and doesn't violate other community rules.
• Pets & animals: You may keep up to 3 dogs and/or cats on your lot without approval. More than 3 requires prior Board approval. Dogs must remain on your lot except when leashed (maximum 6 feet); owners must immediately clean up dog waste on common areas.
• Access gate; security and emergency vehicle disclaimer: An electronic gate at Hawknest Road entrance controls property access and is maintained by the Association. The gate does not guarantee safety or security, and residents assume the risk that it may restrict or delay entry by police, fire, ambulances, or other emergency vehicles. The Association is not liable for any claims or damages resulting from the gate.
• What you own & maintain; Association maintenance: You own and maintain your individual lot and house interior. The Association maintains common areas (streets, open spaces, and other designated common elements) and carries master insurance on those shared facilities, funded by your per-lot assessments.
• Assessments & collection: Regular and special assessments are levied per lot to cover Association operating costs and maintenance. Non-payment of assessments creates a lien on the property, which the Association can enforce for collection.
• Natural area open space (NAOS): Designated natural areas on lots and common areas must be maintained in their natural state; no buildings or other improvements may be constructed on NAOS, per the City's Environmentally Sensitive Lands requirements.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document excerpt is incomplete; the full declaration includes additional rules on parking, vehicles, garages, roof equipment, signs, and other restrictions listed in the table of contents.
