The Vistas at North Gate

What The Vistas at North Gate's governing documents say

The Vistas at North Gate is a single-family home subdivision in Phoenix, Arizona. These Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) are recorded by the developer and run with the land, binding all current and future homeowners. They establish a general scheme for the subdivision and include rules about property use, appearance, and an architectural review process.

• Use restrictions: No exterior antennas, outside speakers/amplifiers, or excessive lighting. No open fires or incinerators. Garbage must be in screened containers and regularly removed. No exterior storage unless screened; this applies to woodpiles, campers, boats, and unmounted pickup camper units. No repairs of vehicles or machinery within view of neighbors. No noxious or offensive activities. No oil or mineral drilling. Lots may not be further subdivided.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is limited to deliveries or short-term guest and invitee parking. Motor vehicles must be parked only in the garage or driveway. No commercial vehicles, trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, campers, mobile homes, or recreational vehicles may be kept on a lot unless screened from view.
• Animals: No livestock, poultry, or animals raised or bred. Up to three household pets (dogs, cats, birds, or fish) are allowed, provided they are not a nuisance or threat and not kept for commercial purposes.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, or other structure may be erected or altered on any lot without prior written approval of the Architectural Control Committee. Plans showing nature, color, shape, height, materials, and location must be submitted. If the committee fails to approve or disapprove within 30 days, approval is deemed given. The committee's authority terminates 30 years after the declaration unless renewed by majority of lot owners.
• Party walls & fences: Owners of adjoining lots share party fences equally. If damaged by an owner or their agents, that owner must repair at their own cost. If damaged otherwise (including wear and tear), all adjoining owners share equally in repair costs.
• Term & amendments: These covenants run for 30 years from recording, then automatically extend in successive 10-year periods. Amendments require a signed instrument by a majority of the then lot owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not establish an HOA, set any fees or assessments, or restrict leasing (no minimum lease term or rental cap). It also does not include age restrictions, pool rules, or recreational amenity rules.
