The Site at Northsite

What The Site at Northsite's governing documents say

The Site At Northsite is a professional/office-use condominium in Phoenix, AZ (Maricopa County). Unit owners own their individual units and share ownership of the building's common elements (structure, roof, mechanical systems, parking, grounds), which the association maintains and insures. The document is binding on all unit owners and establishes strict architectural controls, use restrictions, and per-unit assessment obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, and heating/air conditioning system serving it). The association maintains the exterior walls, roof, common areas, parking, sidewalks, driveways, and mechanical room. You must keep your unit in clean, sanitary, good repair condition; if you fail to do so after written notice, the association can enter and repair at your expense.
• Permitted use: Units are strictly for professional/office purposes only; residential use is prohibited. No noxious, destructive, offensive, or hazardous activities are allowed. All uses must comply with City of Scottsdale zoning ordinances and regulations.
• Architectural review & alterations: Any exterior changes, additions, signs, structures, improvements, alterations, repairs, or color changes require written board approval before starting. Submit detailed plans (elevations, site plan, renderings, parking layout). The board has 30 days to approve/disapprove (can extend 30 more days). Approval is automatic if the board fails to respond within the deadline. The board can charge reasonable fees to cover examination costs.
• Restrictions on units: No window air conditioners, satellite dishes, antennas, radio/television equipment, exterior speakers, horns, whistles, or bells. No high-intensity lighting or reflective materials (foil, screens, mirrors) on windows without approval. All roof-mounted AC/heating units must be screened. All electrical and telephone lines must be underground. No temporary structures, tents, shacks, trailers, or visible garbage storage.
• Common elements & parking: You have an undivided interest in shared facilities (mechanical room, retention basins, fences, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas). You have non-exclusive use of all common elements and exclusive use of your assigned parking space(s) and limited common elements (canopies, entryways, storage, landscaping, exterior doors/windows designated for your unit).
• Assessments & fees: You must pay annual assessments for common expenses (management, insurance, maintenance, utilities, reserve funds for major repairs, legal/accounting). Assessments are apportioned by your unit's undivided interest in common elements. Limited common element expenses (parking, canopies) are equally divided among units using them. The association can impose late fees and penalties for rule violations; if you cause damage, you are assessed exclusively for repairs.
• Membership & voting: You automatically become a member of the association upon purchase and remain a member as long as you own your unit. Membership transfers automatically with the unit upon sale. Each unit has voting rights (specific allocations listed in the declaration's exhibits, not provided in this excerpt).
• What this document doesn't cover: The actual number of units, specific voting allocations, assessment amounts, payment schedules, and reserve fund policies (referenced in exhibits and the association bylaws, which are separate documents). The declaration establishes the framework; the bylaws and rules (also separate) govern day-to-day operations and provide additional detail on enforcement and penalties.
