West 10 Crossroads

What West 10 Crossroads's governing documents say

West 10 Crossroads is a commercial and industrial park in Phoenix governed by restrictive covenants that bind all property owners. The declaration establishes design standards, use restrictions, and a property owners association (with voting power based on site area) that maintains common easement areas and enforces compliance through liens and legal action.

• Permitted uses: Sites are limited strictly to commercial and industrial uses. Prohibited: junk yards, auto wrecking, fat rendering, animal slaughter, smelting, garbage incineration, circuses, carnivals, bingo halls, and gambling operations, plus any use creating offensive odors, fumes, dust, smoke, noise, or toxic discharges.
• Architectural & site plan approval: All improvements require written approval from the 'Approving Agent.' Owners must submit three sets of detailed plans (site plan, architectural elevations, landscaping, signage, development schedule, operational details). Review fee is $1,000; Approving Agent has 30 days to approve or request revisions. Approval can be deemed granted if the Approving Agent fails to respond within 40 days after submittal (30 days + 10-day notice period).
• Building coverage & parking: Buildings may cover no more than 45% of a site's area. Each site must provide on-site parking and loading sufficient for its business—no off-site or street parking allowed. Parking areas must be paved with asphalt, concrete, or equivalent weather-resistant material and comply with current city standards.
• Landscaping requirements: All landscaping must be approved by the Approving Agent and maintained in first-class, weed-free condition. Trees and shrubs must come from an approved plant list (Exhibit D); water conservation plantings are preferred. Underground irrigation systems must be automated and separately controlled; owners failing to maintain landscaping within 30 days of notice may have the association take over maintenance at the owner's expense.
• Signage restrictions: All exterior signage requires written Approving Agent approval. Wall signs must be steel, aluminum, or plexiglass and internally illuminated. Prohibited: roof signs, free-standing signs (except as approved), moving/flashing signs, neon, signs projecting above the roof line, and time/temperature signs. Multi-tenant buildings may have individual tenant identification signs not exceeding 24 inches vertical and 4 square feet.
• Exterior maintenance & refuse: All building exteriors, walks, driveways, parking areas, and landscaping must be maintained in first-class condition matching industrial parks in Maricopa County. Materials, equipment, and supplies must be kept inside closed buildings or behind solid masonry barriers (except during active construction). Refuse must be in approved containers screened from adjacent sites and streets.
• Stormwater retention: Each site must contain one or more stormwater retention basins sufficient to comply with law, shown on the approved site plan. The Approving Agent may require adjacent sites to share a basin; if one site develops first, its owner may be required to excavate the entire shared basin without reimbursement from the neighboring owner.
• Property Owners Association & voting: The West 10 Crossroads Property Owners Association maintains common easement areas, landscaping, signs, and private roadways. Voting power is based on site area (Class A members—regular owners). The original Declarant holds Class B membership with 3 votes per Class A vote, automatically terminating when the Declarant no longer owns any portion of the property. The association levies annual and special assessments and can place liens for non-payment.
