What Sunburst Farms South's governing documents say

Sunburst Farms South is a single-family residential subdivision in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). These rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to protect property values. There is no homeowners association; enforcement is by individual lot owners.

• Building type & land use: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each lot may have one single-family residence, a garage or carport, and a structure for a stable, livestock shelter, or tack room. No temporary structures, trailers, tents, or commercial buildings are allowed.
• Minimum house size: The ground floor area (excluding open porches, pergolas, garages) must be at least 800 square feet for a one-story dwelling, or at least 600 square feet for a dwelling of more than one story.

• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, fences, or walls require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted; if no decision within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. The Committee initially consists of three named individuals.
• Prohibited uses & nuisances: No noxious or offensive activities, abandoned or inoperable vehicles visible from other lots or streets, commercial signs (except one 5 sq ft sign advertising sale/rent), oil drilling, mining, dumping of rubbish, or subdivision of lots.
