Vaughn Manor Condominium

What Vaughn Manor Condominium's governing documents say

Vaughn Manor is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit (a standalone building with a duplex or four-plex) and share ownership of common elements like land, drives, and amenities. The association maintains common areas and carries master insurance, funded by assessments based on unit type. This declaration sets the basic rules for use, modifications, pets, parking, and leasing.

• Unit ownership & boundaries: Each unit includes the land and building within its vertical boundaries, including exterior walls, roof, and windows. There are 11 units total: 10 four-plex buildings (2 units each? Actually, document says Four-Plex Building within Units 2-11, and Duplex Building within Unit 1 — so 10 units are four-plex type and 1 unit is duplex type). Common elements are everything else.
• Use restrictions: Units must be used as residences by a single family (defined as related persons or up to 3 unrelated persons). Home businesses are allowed if not visible or noisy, limited to one non-resident employee, and consistent with residential character.
• Modifications & architectural review: Any exterior modification (including painting) requires prior board approval via a form, with plans and specifications. The board may disapprove based on aesthetics. Non-structural interior changes do not need approval. A construction deposit and insurance may be required.
• Pets: Reasonable number of common house pets allowed inside units. Dogs must be leashed (≤6 ft) when outside, and owners must clean up waste. No pet structures on common elements. Board can adopt rules on pet size/number.
• Parking & vehicles: The board assigns one parking space per unit for 'family vehicles' (cars, small pickups, SUVs, motorcycles). No trucks over 1 ton, RVs, trailers, or commercial vehicles. Vehicles must be in operable condition.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted, but this excerpt does not specify a minimum lease term. Leases must be in writing, and tenants must comply with all rules. Unit owners are responsible for tenant violations.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are allocated based on unit type: four-plex units pay 9.5238% each, the duplex unit pays 4.7619%. Special assessments may be levied. Assessments are due as determined by the board, and unpaid amounts become a lien on the unit.
