Vista Candelas

What Vista Candelas's governing documents say

Vista Candelas is a standard single-family home subdivision (lots 1–40) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a recorded Declaration of CC&Rs. The documents provided are amendments to that declaration, not the full rulebook. They primarily address architectural review procedures and building height/grading standards.

• Architectural review: The Architectural Control Committee is appointed by the HOA Board. The Board may charge a processing fee for plan review and require additional fees. Plans must be submitted to the committee at a specified address (c/o Ms. Ellen Uhl, 8534 North 16th Place, Phoenix, AZ 85020 unless changed by recorded document).
• Building height & grading: For lots 1–40, the 'finished elevation of the lot prior to construction' is defined by a specific Grading and Drainage Plan dated 1978–1982, with as‑built measurements. The amendment lists each lot’s elevation in feet above sea level (e.g., Lot 11: 1368.5 ft). Existing houses are deemed compliant; approved but unbuilt plans are also deemed compliant if built per approved elevations measured from the City of Phoenix brass cap at 16th Street and Butler (elevation 1353.72 ft).
• What this document doesn't cover: These amendments are partial. The full CC&Rs contain many other rules (e.g., use restrictions, maintenance obligations, assessment procedures, enforcement) that are not reproduced here. For a complete picture, you need to read the original Declaration (recorded May 1, 1979) as amended by the First and Second Amendments.
