What William Lyon Homes at Sonoran Foothills's governing documents say
William Lyon Homes at Sonoran Foothills is a residential planned community in Phoenix, Arizona, where lot owners belong to both a master association and a subassociation. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (presented here as an OCR'd excerpt) establishes that owners must pay per-lot community assessments, comply with architectural review, acknowledge easements on many lots, and accept the risk that gated access may restrict emergency vehicle entry and that the site faces desert wildlife, brush fires, and natural hazards.
- Community structure & two-tier governance: The master association (Sonoran Foothills Community Association) owns and maintains common areas across all parcels; the subassociation (The Community Association for William Lyon Homes) manages additional common areas and levies per-lot assessments. During development, the declarant retains control of the subassociation board and design review.
- Community assessments & transfer fees: All lot owners pay community assessments (per-lot fees) for maintenance and reserves; neighborhood-specific assessments can also be levied for services benefiting particular areas. Transfer fees apply upon sale of a lot.
- Architectural review & design standards: All improvements and exterior changes require approval by the Design Review Committee per Master Association Design Guidelines; unapproved modifications violate the covenant.
- Easements (driveway & pedestrian access): Many lots, particularly in Parcels 8 and 8B, are subject to driveway easements (for shared roads and utilities) and pedestrian/courtyard/landscaping easements; the association maintains these easement areas.
- Gated access & emergency service disclaimer: Gated access gates may restrict or delay entry by police, fire, ambulances, and emergency vehicles. Owners acknowledge and assume this risk and release the declarant, associations, their agents, and related parties from all liability for delays or harm caused by the gates.
- Natural hazards & site location: The project is built on desert foothills with washes and is exposed to desert wildlife, brush fires, and wildfires. Adjacent vacant parcels may be developed into uses that create additional nuisances or hazards.
